“…As I have indicated, the Italian case corroborates this link. On several occasions, minority governments sought to address Italy's economic problems by facilitating negotiations between employer and employee organisations and reach social pacts (Regini and Colombo, 2011).…”

However, the application of set theory and QCA raises some approach specific issues. In this paper, I address one such issue: Which, if any, gains for the analysis of an outcome can come from PT in negative cases in set-theoretic MMR? By negative cases, I simply mean cases where the outcome does not occur. Researchers using PT often refer to negative cases when arguing why their perspectives on positive cases are valid. For instance, in her study of the 'nuclear taboo' in American foreign policy, Tannenwald (1999, 442-443) discusses the decision to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki (a negative case of nuclear non-use). She shows that-while some protested using nuclear weapons against Japan-moral arguments did not play the role they did in later non-use decisions. In another well-known example, Skocpol (1979) uses cases where social revolutions did not happen to support her study of the French, Russian, and Chinese revolutions. For instance, she examines why the Meji Restoration in Japan did not result in a revolution, even though it resulted in a political crisis resembling the crisis of pre-revolutionary France. She argues that Japanese bureaucratisation and the absence of a powerful landed upper class meant that Meji

“…Unions have focused on job saving rather than job quality and they have frequently bargained the process of firm downsizing by trying to achieve the 'least-worst' outcome. Nevertheless, unions were still active in the political arena and bargained important tripartite agreements with governments in the 1990s and 2000s (Regini and Colombo, 2011). However, instead of being based on 'political exchange', most of these agreements were 'pain-sharing' (Gumbrell-McCormick and Hyman, 2013: 117) and focused on welfare cuts.…”

This article analyses so-called ‘subjective union membership’ among employees and non-employees in Italy between 1972 and 2013. Unlike trends drawn from administrative data (‘objective membership’), subjective membership, based on the declaration of the respondent, takes into account respondents’ awareness of being affiliated to a union, their sense of belonging and the social desirability of stating their membership status. Instrumental and ideational rationales inform our cross-sectional and longitudinal hypotheses. Using an ITANES pooled dataset based on 11,073 observations over 40 years (1972–2013), two major findings emerge. First, only a minority of politically engaged left-wing individuals have maintained the same probability of declaring themselves union members since the early 1970s. Secondly, subjective membership has sharply decreased over time not only among employees, but also – in clear contrast to administrative data – among non-employees. Subjective measures are thus particularly useful in improving our understanding of union membership.

“…La Fiom joue également un rôle dans les positionnements de la CGIL. Regroupant, encore en 2012, un très grand nombre d'adhérents, la Fiom exerce historiquement le rôle « d'aile gauche » de la confédération, particulièrement engagée dans le mouvement altermondialiste et la critique du libéralisme (Della Porta, 2004), défendant une ligne radicale face aux aspirations plus modérées de la direction confédérale et des autres branches (Regini et Colombo, 2011). Au sein de l'entreprise Fiat, la Fiom occupe historiquement une place revendicative conflictuelle, en écho à cet engagement global, ce qui la conduit à subir des attaques patronales ciblées, qui ne sont pas sans rappeler la situation de 2010 : « En 1956, deux accords importants sont signés entre la Fiat et les syndicats UIL et CISL, la FIOM étant exclue de toutes négociations » (Freyssenet, 1979, p. 186).…”
