Negotiating Green in Automotive Sector: A Comparative Framework for Stakeholder Approaches to Ecological Transition in Italy

ABSTRACT Using an industrial relations regime (IRR)‐centred framework, we analyse how employers, unions, public authorities and worker collectives frame ecological transition in automotive. Qualitative frame analysis (33 stakeholders and 22 worker interviews) in Italy, as an illustrative case, reveals models from market‐led green capitalism to just‐transition approaches, with workers favouring protection and democratic participation.
