A New Relationship Between Globalisation and Interest Representation

Abstract

What we have been witnessing for decades is a crisis of the organizations that represent both workers and employers. This paper examines some of the reasons for this situation in light of globalisation, and an increasingly limited State sovereignty which has led to its own loss of legitimacy. This paper also explores the changed scenario resulting from internationalisation and offers indications for a different way of organising interests by combing the new demands for identity recognition with the expansion of market borders.
