本文发展了一个新的分析框架，以说明职业教育和培训（VET）系统的制度变迁。制度变迁的轨迹通常用两种观点之一来解释。首先，资本主义的品种方法强调了公司之间的协调对技能形成的积极效率影响。第二，历史制度主义的方法侧重于积极的政治反馈效应，从治理的职业教育与培训机构。我们建议增加第三个方面的制度争论有关的作用，职业教育与培训应该发挥促进更大的社会经济平等。运用这一三维框架，可以对制度变迁的渐进形式进行更细致的分析，并更好地理解围绕这三个维度配置的政治斗争是如何推动制度改革的。这一论点是支持战后时期丹麦职业教育与培训系统的制度变迁的轨迹分析。
This article develops a new analytical framework to account for institutional change in vocational education and training (VET) systems. Trajectories of institutional change are typically explained using one of two perspectives on institutional contention. First, the Varieties of Capitalism-approach highlights positive efficiency effects from coordination between companies on skill formation. Second, a historical institutionalist approach focuses on positive political feedback effects from the governance of VET institutions. We propose adding a third dimension of institutional contention related to what role VET should play in fostering greater socio-economic equality. Employing this three-dimensional framework enables a more fine-grained analysis of gradual forms of institutional change and greater appreciation of the ways in which political struggles over the configuration of the three dimensions drive institutional reform. The argument is supported by analyzing the trajectory of institutional change in the Danish VET system in the post-war period.
