The coal and steel industries were modernized and rationalized (the former virtually out of existence), and a phenomenal growth of new industry took place, especially around the capital, Luxembourg, which emerged as a major European financial and administrative centre. These changes had a profound effect on the Grand Duchy’s socio-economic composition, as the proportion of the employed workforce in the services sector had reached 77.1% by 2011. Unemployment, which had long been marginal, has risen sharply since 2002 \u003C!--different figs in Economy-->(see Economy).\nThroughout the whole of this period political life was dominated by the Chrëschtlech Sozial Vollekspartei (CSV—Christian Social Party), which, with one exception (from 1974 to 1979), led every post-war government, while the two other main parties, the Lëtzebuerger Sozialistesch Arbechterpartei (LSAP—Socialist Workers’ Party of Luxembourg) and the conservative-liberal Demokratesch Partei (DP—Democratic Party), neatly alternated as its junior coalition partner according to their varying fortunes at the polls. Election results during this period show few significant shifts of any kind, gains and losses being limited to a very few seats.\nIn addition to its many economic successes, this period of CSV dominance also witnessed advances on the political and diplomatic fronts as European affairs became increasingly important to the Grand Duchy. Its size as compared to its powerful French and German neighbours largely accounts for the decision of the founding members of the European Coal and Steel Community (1951) to establish their executive, the High Authority, in Luxembourg, and later for the seating of the European Court of Justice, European Investment Bank and European Court of Auditors in Luxembourg. Together with the general secretariat of the European Parliament, several services of the European Commission and the publications office of the European Union (EU), these institutions make for the presence of about 10,000 European civil servants in Luxembourg. In 1960 the Benelux Economic Union was formed by Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.\nIn contrast, the 1960s were to prove politically more difficult, as CSV-LSAP Governments were increasingly shaken by scandals and divided by internal disputes over policy. ‘Deconfessionalization’ or secularization, which accelerated dramatically during the 1960s, led the CSV to lose considerable numbers of votes as it moved further to the right. At the same time the LSAP was coming under increasing left-wing influence, while the DP, under the guidance of a new progressive leadership, became more centrist, increasing its vote significantly at the 1974 general election. After more than 50 years in office, the CSV was ousted from power and replaced by a coalition of the LSAP and the DP, effectively led by the latter, the new leader of which, Gaston Thorn, became Prime Minister. The DP also took control of most of the more important ministries.\nEconomic Crisis and Three-Party Politics\nUnfortunately for the new Government, its accession coincided with the beginning of a worldwide economic crisis. The Government’s overriding concern was to prevent massive unemployment, while at the same time safeguarding the economy’s competitiveness. To achieve this aim a recovery plan was developed, which provided, among other things, for the rationalization of the steel industry and for new investment. In this context, a 1977 Government bill created the ‘Tripartite committee’ for crisis management. It issues advice when some unemployment thresholds are reached. Not only is this process compulsory, but in practice its recommendations are also binding.
