Theories and Concepts in Comparative Industrial Relations (Studies in Industrial Relations)

Theories and Concepts in Comparative Industrial Relations is a pioneering undertaking and perhaps the first collaborative enterprise of its kind. A collection of papers dealing with comparative industrial relations theory, all of the papers included except one were presented during the International Industrial Relations Association meetings in Hamburg in 1986. Written from an interdisciplinary standpoint by internationally known scholars and authorities on industrial relations, the essays are arranged in four categories: an introductory essay; national case studies; general theories and concepts; and industrial relations in theory and practice.
