This major new textbook provides a concise introduction to
employment and industrial relations. Unlike many other textbooks,
this adopts a comparative approach, examining the changing nature
of employment practices in relation to the processes of
globalization, and engaging critically with the literature on Human
Resource Management. By taking account of the international
dimension of employment relations, this book is at the forefront of
new developments in the field.
The thematic approach of "Comparative Employment Relations "makes
it distinctive from the country-by-country studies of this topic.
Jack Eaton synthesizes recent work in the field to establish a
basis for further study in the most important areas of industrial
relations, including Japanese-style employment practices;
comparative collective bargaining; the rules of employment and
routes to skill formation; collective labour law; globalization and
transnational companies. He concludes by examining the prospects
for comparative employment relations. By equipping students with a
set of useful concepts and perspectives, this book will give them
the confidence to explore the now extensive international
literature on employment management, and to utilize the methods of
comparative analysis in their own work.
This book will be essential reading for second- and third-year
undergraduates studying business, management, economics and the
sociology of work and industry.
