 abstract = {Wage bargaining structures in Italy and Spain changed significantly in the                    1990s. This is usually seen as an employer-led response to exogenous pressures                    such as the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). This article shows that while EMU                    acted as a catalyst for negotiated adjustments, changes in wage bargaining are                    better explained through factors endogenous to national systems, in particular                    union strategies and interactions in the policy-making arena. By means of policy                    concertation and political exchange, unions have shaped institutional change in                    collective bargaining so as to avoid a disorganized decentralization of labour relations.},
