Global Industrial Relations

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.
