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.
This title was first published in 2001. The emergence of the
European Works Councils (EWCs) is one of the most important
developments in international industrial relations and the most
significant intervention by the European Union in the industrial
relations field. This volume is the second of three studies into
the establishment and operation of EWCs conducted by the authors.
It examines the development of a typology of EWCs and explores the
prospects for establishing networks of EWCs, using case studies
drawn from the food, banking and insurance sectors. The book is an
informative text for researchers, academics and practitioners who
wish to locate empirical material and practical experience in a
developmental and theoretical framework.
This title was first published in 2002: Negotiated Europeanisation
is the final study in a three-volume series on European Works
Councils by an international research group. The first two studies
have already been published by Ashgate. The current study is rooted
in an analysis of the establishment of EWCs under Articles 5 and 6
of the 1994 EWC Directive. This is now a mandatory procedure and
completes the development of EWCs from bodies set up purely by
voluntary negotiation to bodies set up within a binding statutory
procedure. The study is based on cases of five (named) major
European firms in a variety of industrial sectors. As well as a
detailed consideration of how negotiations using the mandatory
procedure took place, there are more general reflections on the
'quality' of the actors involved, the negotiating process and the
outcomes. As well as their analytical value, these observations
offer a number of practical pointers on the establishment of
information and consultation arrangements internationally. The
study also asks why EWCs have been set up in only one third of
eligible companies and why the pace of establishing new EWCs slowed
after the mandatory procedure came into force in September 1996.
This part of the study is based upon a pan-European questionnaire
and offers the first empirical findings on this issue. European
Works Councils exemplify a new mode of regulation at the European
level, not only within industrial relations but in the field of
European integration more widely conceived - Europe as a
multi-level system of governance within a framework of devolved
subsidiarity. This study is of both academic and practical
interest, particularly in view of the continuing process of change
in this area, exemplified in new Directives on the European Company
Statute and information and consultation at national level.

Industrial relations has traditionally been a national affair,
characterized by distinct local laws, practices and cultures. The
process of European integration, exemplified by the Single Market
Programme, the Maastricht Treaty and the imminent prospect of
Economic Monetary Union, has created a framework within which
national practices have been exposed to growing cross-border
influences - including European Union legislation requiring
European Works Councils to be set up in large transnational firms.
Might European integration create the basis for a new distinctly
European-level of industrial relations? And what impact would this
have on exisitng national systems? This volume explores the
prospects for the emergence of a distinctly European pattern of
industrial relations, in which the European-level organizations
representing employers and trade unions gain in importance
vis-a-vis their national organisations. In particular, individual
contributions analyze the impact of the "Social Chapter" to the
Maastricht Treaty, which created a new institutional framework
within which European-level employers and trade unions can
negotiate.
