Partiendo de los hallazgos obtenidos por Jackson (2005), en este ensayo se define la cogestión en términos de la representación de los trabajadores en la junta directiva, se describen las características de la cogestión en 22 países de la OECD, y se describen los patrones transnacionales de cogestión basados en la gobernanza corporativa, las relaciones laborales, los sistemas políticos y el marco legal. Con este ensayo se espera contribuir al debate contemporáneo acerca de la representación de los trabajadores en el gobierno corporativo.
