内容説明
Labour law reforms introduced in Panama during the Torrijos administration (1968-1981) were a radical departure from past authoritarian agendas that had benefited only a small, entrenched elite. Offering a historical analysis of the enactment and implementation of labor policy in those years, Dr Phillipps presents a study of the power relations among Panama's political elite, the business sector and labour. The author argues that the 1972 Labour Code, which exemplified the Torrijos regime's reformist nature, lent the regime popular support and a measure of legitimacy. The business sector, however, blames the Labour Code for most of the economic woes experienced during the mid-1970s, including widespread unemployment. By manipulating their considerable economic assets and waging a fierce anti-government campaign both in Panama and in the United States at the time of the Canal Treaty negotiations, the business sector was able to have the Labour Code amended and significantly weakened. In the light of the recent upheaval in Panama, this study provides a profile of Panama's political elite and analyzes the country's fragile political institutions.
Though the Torrijos administration provided an opening for the greater enfranchisement of the working classes, the Noriega years, characterized by greed and plunder, obliterated most of Torrijos' reforms and set the stage for the return of the traditional ruling class.
