    La literatura sobre la crisis del neocorporatismo y la crisis financiera de 2007-08 asumían que la pérdida de recursos institucionales y centralizados supondría cambios en sindicatos y asociaciones empresariales. Algunas publicaciones plantean que las asociaciones empresariales han asegurado su participación en la negociación colectiva facilitando cláusulas de exclusión para que las grandes empresas puedan desarrollar sus propias estrategias. Otros autores sugieren que las asociaciones empresariales están reforzando su capacidad de lobby y de prestación de servicios a empresas en sectores emergentes. Este artículo contribuye a la literatura existente aportando evidencia empírica sobre cambios en presupuestos, plantillas, presencia mediática y actividad de lobby ante la Unión Europea. También se discuten cambios en la representación institucional, la competición entre asociaciones empresariales y cambios en la gobernanza interna.

    The literature on the crisis of neocorporatism and on the 2008-2009 financial crisis assumed that the loss of institutional and centralized resources would imply changes in both the unions and business associations. Some authors suggest that business associations have ensured their participation in collective bargaining by providing exclusion clauses so that large companies can develop their own strategies. Other authors suggest that business associations are strengthening their lobby functions and the provision of services to companies in emerging sectors. This article contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence on changes in budgets, staff, media presence, and lobbying activity before the European Union. Changes in institutional representation, competition between business associations and changes in internal governance are also discussed
