Abstract:	The inflation crisis has been a stress test for industrial relations systems as it has placed again the wage conflict under conditions of weakened institutions and heightened fiscal and market constraints. Rather than witnessing a revival of encompassing tripartite incomes policy, the comparative evidence suggests the emergence of differentiated forms of crisis corporatism and social dialogue. In some countries, social dialogue has been used instrumentally to coordinate wage adjustments whilst in others, it has been deployed expressively to legitimise state-led compensation packages. Finally, in other countries it has played a marginal role and has even been hollowed out. This transformation reflects the long-term erosion of industrial relations institutions.
