Abstract

Political theories of corporatism from the late 1970s make turgid reading and rather deservedly disappeared down a theoretical rabbit hole. However, my doctoral thesis on Feminism and Unionism draws on that theoretical framework as well as socialist feminist theories to think about recent radical change in New Zealand labour relations. This paper outlines corporatist theories, looks at how these featured in some union/political thinking in New Zealand in the late 1980s, and why, even though they are useful, they are inadequate to explain the labour market situation of New Zealand women and their unions.
