Exit, Voice and Solidarity: Economic Stakeholders in Contemporary Democratic Capitalism

With Martin O'Neill & Jurgen De Wispelaere

This research project explores key questions in the democratic governance of contemporary economic institutions, notably labour markets regulation and the welfare state. The underlying assumption is that contemporary capitalist governance marginalizes, excludes and disenfranchises large parts of the population in what has been aptly dubbed the “winner-takes-all-society” (Hacker and Pierson, 2011). The re-enfranchisement of economic stakeholders remains one of the key challenges in political theory, economic philosophy and business ethics.
