| Summary: | Before the 2000s, local social bargaining was seen as both a fuzzy concept for SMEs as well as relatively limited, isolated and uncertain practice. During the 2010s, however, it became fully institutionalised, coordinated and organised. The text reviews the decade that changed the nature and aspirations of local social bargaining by analysing the factors contributing to this change. It starts by reviewing the first steps towards this new regime, dating back to the 2000s, before going on to (1) present actors’ strategies for generating a collective dynamic of local social dialogue, and (2) revisit the production of this concept by experts, researchers and trainers – all of whose studies have helped it to spread across the landscape of French industrial relations.
