Abstract

Mit dem Bedeutungszuwachs der oeffentlichen Auftragsvergabe werden Entscheidungen ueber Arbeitsbedingungen zunehmend jenseits der eingespielten Formen des Interessenausgleichs getroffen. Welche Verfahren der Entscheidungsfindung sich hier herausbilden und wie dies die etablierten Macht- und Interessenstrukturen in den industriellen Beziehungen veraendert, ist Kernfrage des Beitrags. Er zielt zudem darauf, Einflussfaktoren, Gegenstaende, Akteure und Mechanismen der Entscheidungsfindung im Bereich der oeffentlichen Auftragsvergabe in systematisierender Weise zu beschreiben und auf diese Weise zu einem besseren Verstaendnis der Konturen dieser emergenten Arena der industriellen Beziehungen beizutragen. Die Auswertung erster empirischer Studien zu Deutschland, Daenemark und Grossbritannien ergibt, dass die gezielte Nutzung der Auftragsvergabe als Instrument der Arbeitsmarktregulierung laenderuebergreifend auf grosse Huerden stoesst, und die traditionell staerker ausgepraegten Mitbestimmungsrechte von Arbeitnehmern in Deutschland und vor allem Daenemark in dieser emergenten Arena der industriellen Beziehungen bislang nur bedingt zum Tragen kommen. (As public procurement becomes ever more important, decisions on working and employment conditions are increasingly being taken outside of the established forms of interest reconciliation. Core questions of this article are: what new decision-making processes are emerging and what effects are they having on the established power structures and interest representation bodies in industrial relations? It also seeks to systematically describe the factors influencing decision-making in public procurement, the objects of that decision-making and the actors and mechanisms involved. Analyses of first empirical studies of Germany, Denmark and the UK show that the use of public procurement as an instrument of labour market regulation across countries comes up against major hurdles and that the traditionally stronger codetermination rights enjoyed by workers in Germany and, particularly, Denmark have to date had only a limited effect in this emerging industrial relations arena.)
