Heroic Defeats is a comparative investigation of how unions and
firms interact when economic circumstances require substantial job
loss. Using simple game theory to generate testable propositions
about when these situations will result in industrial conflict,
Professor Golden illustrates the theory in a range of situations
between 1950 and 1985 in Japan, Italy, and Britain. Additionally,
the author shows how the theory explains why strikes over job loss
almost never occur in postwar unionised firms in the United States.
With its blend of rational choice and comparative politics, Heroic
Defeats is the first systematic attempt to account for industrial
conflict or its absence in situations of mass job loss. This book
should be of interest to political scientists, sociologists,
economists, and students of labour and industrial relations, as
well as specialists in European and Japanese history.
