Between polarization and statism–effects of the crisis on collective bargaining processes and outcomes in Hungary
Abstract In Hungary, collective bargaining processes and outcomes have been comprehensively restructured since the start of the economic crisis. This article presents two channels through which the crisis has affected collective bargaining in the country: direct
economic challenges and political change. The economic challenges intensified processes
that had started before 2008, leading to further polarization of the labour force in the private
sector and further austerity in the public sector.
