Building on the highly successful Industrial Relations in the
New Europe, this new text for students of industrial relations
and human resource management examines some of the key comparative
themes of European industrial relations in the 1990's. A team of
internationally renowned contributors has drawn on a wealth of
detailed, up-to-date material to analyse the major common trends
across countries, and to account for the variety of national
practice. Each chapter examines and compares different regional
experiences to deal with such themes as:
- mangement strategy
- the role of unions
- gender and the labour market
- collective bargaining
- change at the workplace
- the state as employer
- industrial conflict
- the European Union dimension and 'Social Europe'
the transition to the market economy in Eastern Europe
The editors pay particular attention to developments in Eastern Europe as the former Easter bloc countries struggle to achieve the transition to market economies. The workplace, trade unions and the creation of national industrial relations institutions are examined specifically in this context.
