Opis

Breaking new ground and drawing on contributions from the leading academics in the field, this volume in the "Global HRM" series specifically focuses on industrial relations.
The text is divided into two distinct, but overlapping sections, namely regional variations in global industrial relations systems and contemporary themes in global industrial relations. Specifically, the text is intended to provide an overview of the industrial relations systems of nine regions (North America, South America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand, Asia, Africa, and India). Having examined these systems the second section of the book examines some overarching themes in global industrial relations.
Combining both systems and thematic issues, this important new text will be invaluable reading for anyone studying or interested in global industrial relations.

Recenzje

'This is a book that I would strongly recommend for adoption on any course in international or comparative industrial relations. The particular features which appeal to me are twofold. First, its organizing principles; organizing the chapters by both regional blocks and important, contemporary topics sets it apart from many other edited volumes which have frequently used only one of these principles. And secondly, all the chapters draw extensively on comprehensive, up-to-date research-based evidence. The resulting picture which emerges involves a judicious mixture of international commonalities, regional commonalities, and county specific factors, which make for an engaging read.' - Phillip Beaumont, Professor of Employment Relations, University of Glasgow, UK
