Abstract
Are the national characteristics traditionally included in analyses of strikes in developed Western countries relevant for less developed countries? In a comprehensive model explaining cross-national variation in strike volume, variables suggested by both the bargaining perspective (unemployment, earnings, and inflation) and the pnlitical and organizational perspective (unionization and democracy) are included. The analysis is performed on a pooled cross-section time series data set containing 563 country-year units. The results demonstrate that unemployment and earnings significantly decrease strike volume while unionization and democracy significantly increase strike volume-independently on the location of a given country in the world system. The sensitivity analysis demonstrates that these results are robust, not influenced by the quality of data.
