Abstract

This chapter applies the framework of institutional change from Chapter 5 to the labor institutions in Germany. The first section surveys the labor institutions in Germany and their changes. The second section provides argues for an understanding of an older conception of Germany as a CME as a side product of various drivers of change, but primarily of a developmental strategy of intensive capitalism through labor dualism. It was molded by all three channels with path dependency and strong industrial labor protecting the working core and a deliberate reform and weak marginal labor producing a liberalization of marginal labor with a growing low-wage sector. In terms of modes of change, this chapter offers an interpretation along the lines of confirming Thelen’s view of German labor-institutional change as drift, but only for the two longer-term channels—and argued for the interpretation of the deliberate institutional design as displacement. The third section explores the social effects of these changes.
