Available for the first time in paperback, this book explores the
role of trade unions as products of, and agents for, democracy. The
crisis facing established democratic institutions in the advanced
societies has been widely noted. In response, there has been
increasing interest in the role of civil society actors, ranging
from established socio-political collectives to new grassroots
organisations. On the one hand, conventional wisdom holds that
organised labour in the advanced societies has remained locked in a
cycle of political marginalisation and decline. On the other hand,
unions continue to represent a significant component of society
within most industrialised countries. Indeed, in many cases, they
have demonstrated a capacity for effective renewal and for
co-ordinating their efforts with other civil society actors as part
and parcel of the current groudswell of public opinion against the
neo-liberal orthodoxy. The book brings together a distinguished
panel of leading and emerging scholars in the field, and provides a
critical assessment of the current role of unions in society, their
capacity to impact on state policies in such a manner as to ensure
greater accountability and fairness, and the nature and extent of
internal representative democracy within the labour movement. This
volume will be of interest to students and academics in the fields
of industrial relations, critical management studies, political
studies and sociology, as well as trade union and community
activists. -- .

corcumstances. It brings together a distinguished panel of leading
and emerging scholars in the field, and provides a critical
assessment of the current role of trade unions in society, their
capacity to impact on state policies in such a manner as to ensure
greater accountability and fairness, and the nature and extent of
