N2 - This article compares coordinated collective bargaining in Sweden and Denmarkafter centralized bargaining. Existing theories — power resource and cross-classalliance theory — seem capable of explaining the transition from centralizedbargaining to pattern bargaining system. However, they do not explain theinternal stability of bargaining coordination once established.

These dierences have substantiveconsequences for bargaining outcomes in the two countries.
