Example text

Creating new institutions is hardly possible without the state. ” Changes can moreover take place in subtle ways beneath formal institutions, via re-interpretation and defection. Reforms are seen as changes of institutions that are initiated or endorsed by the state. Here, coalition politics and capital usually play important roles in such reforms: “the kind of coalitional analysis that has been so important for explaining the origins of many institutions in coordinated market economies also provides the basis for a dynamic account of how shifting alignments of interests bring about the reconfiguration of institutions and forms of coordination in both liberal and coordinated market economies” (Hall and Thelen 2009: 26).

This argument is challenged by Fioretos’ analysis, since he finds that the two countries’ preferences differ according to the set-up of their national economies in spite of similar political movements in power. Preferences on European policies remained constant in spite of changes of governments in the national realm. As a final point, the non-binding forms of governance—such as in the field of VET policies—have been addressed by Scha¨fer (2005). He argues that the EU adopts modes of governance which previously had been used by the OECD and the International Monetary Fund.

Member states on the other hand pursue policies following domestic pressures and interests on the European level. B€ uchs (2008) adjusts Putnam’s (1988) two-level game to the legally non-binding OMC and argues that governments—and non-governmental actors—can use the EU level selectively by applying “invited dutifulness”. According to this strategy, they pressure for policies at the European level that then serve as a reason or legitimisation for reforms on the domestic level. 24 See Chalmers and Lodge (2003) for a pessimistic and Trubek and Trubek (2005) for an optimistic view.
