Description

The Research Handbook of Comparative Employment Relations is an essential resource for those seeking to understand contemporary developments in the world of work, and the way in which employment relations systems are evolving around the world.

Special consideration is given to the impact of globalization and the role of multinational corporations, including their consequences for the fate of workers' rights under existing national systems of employment relations (ER) regulation. This Handbook is unique in taking an explicitly comparative approach by discussing ER developments through a series of paired country comparisons. These chapters include a wide selection of countries from all regions, looking beyond those that are frequently discussed. The expert contributors also examine comparative issues from a range of perspectives, including industrial and employment relations, political economy, comparative politics, and cross-cultural studies. These impressive features make this important reference tool the most comprehensive of its kind.

Academics and students in final-year undergraduate and postgraduate courses interested in employment relations will find this compendium enriching and insightful.

Contributors include: M. Atzeni, L. Baccarro, M. Barry, D. Collings, F.L. Cooke, S. Cooney, T. Dundon, F. Duran, I. Forstenlechner, P. Gahan, P. Gunnigle, T. Jackson, E.H. Jung, B. Kaufman, J. Kelly, J. Lavelle, K. Mellahi, R. Mitchell, P. Pochet, T. Royle, A. Verma, N. Wailes, A. Wilkinson, G. Wood, S. Zalgermeyer

’This Research Handbook is a highly readable and thought-provoking account of comparative employment relations in current published texts. The breadth and depth of this book are remarkable and it will serve as a very valuable introductory text to students and researchers interested in comparative employment relations and global governance of employment relations.’ -- Wei Huang, Work, Employment and Society
‘Besides a well-written introduction by the two editors, the book presents seventeen other chapters, some by well-known writers on the subject or related social sciences. . . This is a substantial resource book for scholars and students of comparative ER, especially for those who look towards the evolution of ER in the new economic world that is in formation, and in a comparative perspective. . . the book contains intellectually stimulating analyses of employee relations realities across the globe. . . Scholars belonging to different disciplinary perspectives, from which ER has been studied in the past, will also find in it a good reference material of comparative analyses. . . The publishers too deserve accolades for their professionalism and first rate copy-editing and production.’ -- Debi S. Saini, Vision - the Journal of Business Perspectives
‘The book is a comprehensive volume of studies on employment relations in a wide variety of settings. . .an enriching compendium.’ -- Silvia Florea, Management of Sustainable Development
