Resum

The authors examine Spain and France, where the state intervenedto reform collective bargaining systems through legal regulation.French and Spanish policymakers used the same rhetoric to justifythe reforms: the alleged rigidity of their labour markets and collectivebargaining systems. Nevertheless, several differences are noticed,especially regarding the strategies of social partners. The idea ofdecentralisation as a unidirectional and comprehensive process ischallenged when examining both countries. In France, the concept ofarticulation over that of determination is preferred when referring tothe collective bargaining decentralisation process. In Spain, the effectof the reforms has been the creation of a new pattern of fragmentationin industrial relations rather than a clearly decentralised collectivebargaining system
