TextPublication details: European Journal of Industrial Relations 2012Description: Journal articleISSN: 0959-6801Subject(s): Trade unions | Diversity in the workplaceDDC classification: Journals Online access: Open e-book (Ruskin students only) Summary: This article uses a discursive institutionalist approach to explain the different responses of Swedish and German trade unions to diversity management and their involvement in its institutionalization. It is argued that the institutionalization of diversity management is more likely to be based on social dialogue where it is introduced primarily as a solution to a socio-political crisis (as in Sweden). However, where its introduction is motivated primarily by a drive for softer regulation (as in Germany), it may undermine social dialogue.
