Since the 1980s, industrial relations and labor law in Israel
have rapidly changed from a European style of corporatism to a
model of pluralism familiar to North America. The country's legal
and industrial relations systems have become more decentralized,
yet more intensively regulated; they are no longer centrally
managed, but they do not fit the neoliberal model of a free market.
In recent years, a dynamic system for voicing interests has
evolved, granting more leeway to individuals, identity-based
representation, and a flourishing civil society, but restraining
effective collective representation.
In Fading Corporatism, Guy Mundlak explains the changing nature
of labor law and industrial relations in Israel and the seemingly
paradoxical outcomes of transformation as played out in numerous
spheres, including the law governing the recognition of trade
unions and strikes; the emergence of a human rights regime; and the
regulation of temporary work agencies, Palestinian workers from the
occupied territories, and migrant workers. Placing the example of
Israel in a conceptual framework that draws on the literature of
corporatism, Mundlak offers a theoretical coupling of legal studies
and industrial relations that will interest scholars and
practitioners in both fields.
Surveying legal developments from 1920 to the present, Fading
Corporatism will also appeal to readers interested in the
political, economic, and legal history of Israel. At the same time,
Mundlak emphasizes the comparative implications of the Israeli case
study. His account is particularly instructive for countries in
which traditionally corporatist industrial and legal systems are
experiencing similar pressures, such as the Netherlands, Austria,
and Germany.
