Social Dialogue and Deliberation: a New Dimension in European Industrial Relations

1 IDHE - Institutions et Dynamiques Historiques de l'Economie

Social Dialogue is often conceived as a simple negotiation, in comparison to Civil Dialogue as a new form of deliberation engaged by the 'stakeholders' to the economic activities. This text explores the deliberative and reflexive dimension of the Social Dialogue at the level of the European Union, of the firm and of the territory. It leads to the conclusion that Social Dialogue is a door for a more reflexive dynamic of the economic activities, in comparison to the difficulties encountered by the identification of stable, general and legitimate groups in the civil society.
