Abstract

This article offers a comparative and historical study of the mobilizing factors (Davis and Thompson, 1994) influencing co-determination in France and Germany. In Germany, political opportunity, shared stakeholder interests, the presence of a social infrastructure, the dynamics of mobilization, and the presence of a supporting institution enabled co-determination to take hold (Gomez and Wirtz, 2018). These ingredients were not present in France, despite reflection on the nature of the enterprise justifying co-determination. We thus contribute to understanding the institutionalization of a political ideology and show how two countries that are relatively close politically can take different trajectories.Cet article propose une étude comparative et historique des facteurs de mobilisation (Davis et Thompson, 1994) autour de la codétermination en France et en Allemagne. L'opportunité politique, les intérêts partagés des acteurs, la présence d'une infrastructure sociale, la dynamique de la mobilisation et la présence d'une institution socle ont permis à la codétermination de s'imposer en Allemagne (Gomez et Wirtz, 2018). Ces ingrédients n'étaient pas présents en France malgré une réflexion originale sur la nature de l'entreprise justifiant la codétermination. Nous contribuons ainsi à la compréhension de l'institutionnalisation d'une idéologie politique et montrons comment deux pays relativement proches politiquement peuvent emprunter des trajectoires différentes.
