NGO networks, labour and regional stability
NGO networks, labour and regional stability

Summary/Abstract: This article will look at the way trade unions can participate in the Stability Pact in a somewhat hypothetical sense, by framing the Pact through a lens which sees organised labour both as an NGO (non-governmental organisation) and as a partner of other NGOs that focus on social issues. The issues of Working Table II are the most important discussion point for trade unions, but the idea of labour participation in NGO networks indicates also an interest in the labour-related issues of the other two Working Tables. Through potential partnerships, trade unions, other NGOs and civil society organisations can create a system of dialogue concerning “cross-cutting” issues in the Stability Pact and, in general, engender the potential to leverage their influence in order to gain a greater voice in Stability Pact discussions.
