| | Labor tax burdens are indeed higher in more corporatist nations, while nonlabor taxes are actually lower. | | | Since the level of labor supply is set by a small group of decisionmakers, these individuals will recognize the linkage between the taxes that workers pay and the benefits that they receive. | | | In 'corporatist' economies, which feature centralized labor markets, taxes on labor input will be less distortionary than when labor supply is determined individually. |

| | The topic of the paper is to analyze, from a cross-regional comparative perspective, the relationship between corporatist features and security sector reform in two democratizing countries, | | | For instance, a security sector institution in an official government consultative body (legislative committees for defense and national security, the national security councils at the level of executive branch, etc) represents a corporate group incorporated into the state. | | | As the case of Brazil demonstrates, the pacted, corporatist outcome produced a winning coalition of which some members of the previous military regime retained important functions within the new government. |

| | The EU is a supranational governance organization which is quasi-federal in institutional structure and quasi-pluralist in policymaking processes. | | | But although this may have increased government popularity, it at the same time eroded democratic legitimacy, given that as often as not the government incorporated into national law the very EU measures it had so vociferously opposed. | | | This stems from reforms that have increased the powers of the judiciary and/or have established independent regulatory agencies - whether in response to internal dynamics or external pressures, in particular those from the European Union, where its regulatory/legalistic model has been imposed in an ever-growing number of sectors. |
