"In the mid 90's the Dutch polder model gained miraculous properties due to the sudden strong economic growth and employment, and the consensual reform of the welfare state. What is the status of the polder model twenty years later? Are the neo-corporatist institutions able to steer the economy and labor market in an era of profound globalization, financialization and European integration? Are the results still as good? Which interests represent the actors of the polder model precisely and are still representative? And how democratic and transparent is the polder model? These questions are central to the book 'Still a miracle? The legitimacy of the polder model in the twenty-first century' (in Dutch), edited by Maarten Keune, professor at the University of Amsterdam and co-director of the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS). With contributions from renowned and upcoming scientists: Paul de Beer, Klara Boonstra, Caelesta Braun, Ewald Engelen, Anton Hemerijck, Marc van der Meer, Arjen Verhoeff, Jelle Visser and Natascha van der Zwan."
