Research topic
Arianna’s PhD research investigates changes in tripartism and concertation between governments and social partners in the aftermath of the Eurozone crisis in four countries: Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland. Through a comparative research design, the research examines causes and implications of the evolving dynamics of tripartite concertation in the Eurozone periphery, with a focus on social partners' role in processes of structural labour market and social policy reform.
