First published in 1999, this volume evaluates the context, role and development of EWCs through eight case studies and asks whether EWCs will promote the Europeanisation of Industrial relations. The EWCs were the first European institution in the field of social policy and went far beyond simply requiring national implementation of a common framework. They were innovative in their requirements for a judicious blend of subsidiarity, shared responsibility and flexibility. This study represents the culmination of research carried out between September 1996 and September 1997 and sets out to anchor a number of qualitative case-studies in a systematic, nationally comparative approach.

Negotiations between management and the special negotiating bodies of employees are conducted according to the same rules for the European Company (SE), the European Cooperative Society (SCE), and the cross-border merger. The SE and the SCE are of particular interest to Germany because they allow for a reduction of the supervisory board and a changeover from a management / supervisory board to an administrative board. The negotiated solution provides tailored concepts for the respective company. The cross-border merger, which is also subject to the negotiated solution according to SE guidelines, should become even more significant. The commentary presents the material in context and also particularly highlights the solution process for medium-sized businesses.
