About this title

From the Back Cover:

Changing Industrial Relations in Europe is the second edition of the influential and widely used textbook, Industrial Relations in the New Europe. As with the earlier edition, the book will be a definitive text and reference for all students in industrial relations and human resource management looking at international issues.

For the new book an outstanding team of international experts has produced a completely updated and reworked analysis of industrial relations in the fifteen European Union states and the two other major European countries. The book's unrivaled breadth and depth provides:

• 
  
• The latest thinking on current industrial relations trends and controversies within the broader context of internationalization, European integration, and the moves toward monetary union.
  
• A basic description of the institutions and actors in each country.
  
• A strong focus in each contribution on analysing in a clear, readable and accessible manner the underlying dynamic of the industrial relations system in question, and the emerging trends for the 1990s.
  
• A wide-ranging introduction from the editors that contributes to current debates in comparative industrial relations analysis.
  
• The views of leading local experts on each of the countries covered.

The sheer diversity of approaches to the employment relationship in the countries of Europe is both confirmed and made accessible to analysis in this unique text which will be an indispensable resource and reference to all students and scholars in the field.
