Abstract

This article analyses the role of the state in shaping working and employment conditions with a focus on the wage setting process. The comparison of three countries with relatively inclusive pay systems - Sweden, France and Germany - illustrates that even today in an environment characterised by globalised markets, nation states have at their disposal instruments in order to effectively ensure high job quality and that they can use various combinations of participative and protective labour standards in that regard. State action and strategic decisions of major actors are strongly influenced by specific development paths but may also strike out in new directions and seek to build up future proofed institutions.
