Tripartism (from Latin tripartitus = threefold, three-part) is a term from political science that describes a political cooperation aimed at reaching consensus (e.g. in an institutional form) between three actors with opposing or at least diverging interests.

A prime example of this is the cooperation between political actors, representatives of employers and trade unions , as promoted at the international level within the framework of the International Labor Organization (ILO). At the EU level, the European social dialogue corresponds to this model insofar as the EU Commission, as the “government”, has an important mediating function, without which the European social dialogue would hardly have produced any results.

The concept of tripartism is also used in connection with the theoretical debate about the further development of the dualism of state and society, which can be described as classic, towards a three-part arrangement of state , economy and civil society .

In France in the period after the Second World War , Tripartism (French: Tripartisme ) was a coalition government made up of Christian Democrats (MRP) , Communists (PCF) and Socialists (SFIO) (see also Provisional Government of the French Republic ).
