Corporatism in Australia

Abstract

The paper looks at the development of corporatism, first in terms of its European antecedents, then in terms of its adoption in Australia in the 1980s. The historical development of European corporatism is outlined from its formulation within Catholic social thought. Two variants of corporatism are identified. The first, which was closely associated with fascism, aimed at institutionalisation of industrial relations within government departments as a way of controlling labour organisations. This can be contrasted with the second form of corporatism, essentially a post-war European (especially Swedish) phenomenon, which brings labour organisations into the decision process. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
