Abstract

Motivated by the efforts to understand shifting dynamics of change and stability in employment relations—not least ones brought on by a decade of crisis in what was a neoliberal consensus—scholars increasingly focus on the role of ideas, discourses, and identities. This paper argues for the potential of continuing down this path of employing ideational explanations in employment relations. First, it highlights four key weaknesses of employing more pure materialist–institutionalist approaches that have traditionally dominated employment relations scholarship. Second, it argues that to recognize and build on existing efforts to bring in ideas to employment relations, it is useful to place these on the macro-, meso-, and micro levels. Third, to further advance an ideational perspective on employment relations, it proposes to place more centrally the concept of ideational power. Fourth, it presents key insights from the papers that make up the Special Issue and fleshes out how the individual papers of the Special Issue contribute to this agenda.

雇佣关系研究中的思想与权力
在努力理解雇佣关系中变化和稳定的动态变化的激励下,尤其是在新自由主义共识的十年危机中所带来的变化,学者们越来越关注思想、话语和身份的作用。本文论证了在雇佣关系中继续采用概念解释这条道路的潜力。首先,它强调了采用更纯粹的唯物主义-制度主义方法的四个关键弱点,这些方法传统上主导着雇佣关系研究。其次,它认为,要认识到并在现有努力的基础上为就业关系引入新思想,将这些思想放在宏观、中观和微观层面是有用的。第三,为了进一步推进对雇佣关系的观念视角,本文建议将观念权力的概念放在更为中心的位置。第四,它提出了组成特刊的论文的关键见解,并充实了特刊的个别论文如何为这一议程作出贡献。
