| Summary |
"Essential reading for all those concerned with the history and practice of industrial relations, this landmark volume chronicles the evolution of the field to date. It focuses on the largely untold story of how the globalization of industrial relations took hold, and explores in depth the pivotal events, ideas and people behind it." "Today the field of industrial relations faces significant challenges at both an intellectual and policy level, and in a number of countries it is in decline and even disarray. If present trends continue, important choices will have to be made to ensure brighter prospects. Drawing from the research and analysis of the field's history across the globe, this volume proposes lessons and implications for industrial relations in the future."--BOOK JACKET |
