Hierarchy or Competition?

The Interest Representation Network of Organized Labour in Finnish Social and Health Policy Making

Department of Political Science, University of Helsinki, Finland

In this article the network of interest representation of Finnish labour organizations in the social and health policy domain was analysed More precisely the research question was whether the interest representation follows the hierarchical or the competitive model of interest channelling The first model shared many features of the corporatist theory of interest representation The competition model was derived more from pluralist policy-making theories The results indicated that the interest representation in this domain was more hierarchically structured This result gives some support to the meso level corporatist hypothesis, which claims that macro-level corporatist arrangements are replicated also in sectoral level decision-making
