%X This article discusses three major issues related to tripartite social pacts:                    first, the puzzles they present for classic theories of corporatism; second, the                    contrasts between the political economies of ‘competitive                    concertation’ and Keynesian coordination; and third, the problems of                    assessing their effects in the context of complex causality. The main focus is                    on one specific policy area: negotiated welfare state reforms. The conclusion is                    that though such negotiations have dominated the process of welfare state                    recalibration in Europe during the 1990s, tripartite social pacts are neither a                    necessary nor a sufficient condition for success.
