This second of two companion volumes places the labor markets,
workplaces, jobs and workers of Europe in comparative perspective.
It focuses on the politics, economics, sociology, and history of
work and workers in Europe. It contains both qualitative and
quantitative studies as well as explicitly theoretical work, and
compares contemporary patterns and the recent history of European
workers with other models of work worldwide. Authors contribute a
variety of methodological and theoretical perspectives, with papers
that push the boundaries of evidence and argument. Specific topics
in "Comparing European Workers Volume 2: Policies and Institutions"
include: the political economy of active social policy in
postindustrial democracies; social protection dualism,
deindustrialization and cost containment; organized labor in
Europe; and, unionization in East European ex-communist countries.
It asks such questions as 'does European-style welfare generosity
discourage single mother employment?', 'whose interests do unions
represent?' and 'are trade unions still redistributive?'.
