초록

Studies on welfare reform in advanced European countries have found two established paths to welfare retrenchment: government unilateralism and corporatist social bargaining. This study explores more nuanced hybrid cases that combine both reform paths. Relying on the notion of ‘non-corporatist’ social bargaining, the study identifies core features of these cases and provides a causal account for them. It draws on public pension reforms from four Southern European countries: Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece. A total of twenty four reform cases since the 1990s are analyz- ed using the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) technique, along with brief qualitative narratives on selected cases. The author finds that pension re- forms occurred through non-corporatist social bargaining where national economic crises, strong governments, and welfare beneficiaries’ consensus toward the reform were all simultaneously absent
