The Force of Labour: The Western European Labour Movement and the Working Class in the Twentieth Century - Hardcover
Synopsis
This innovative text aims to provide a comprehensive overview and comparative analysis of European labour movements from 1900 to 1990. The authors examine the links between workers and organized labour in seven European countries - Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden and The Netherlands - and focus on areas such as the role of the state, labour markets, and occupation and class.
Previous works have analysed more limited periods and this has resulted in a compartmentalised approach to the subject. The broad timeframe adopted by the distinguished contributors will provide readers with fresh insights and will prompt a re-examination of currently accepted frameworks.
A welcome companion to Dick Geary's ‘Labour and Socialist Movements in Europe before 1914', this book will be widely used by students and scholars of modern European History and Politics.
