Not all labour law and industrial relations scholars agree on the efficacy of the comparative approach - that the analysis of measures adopted in other countries can play a constructive role in national and local policy-making. However, the case deserves to be heard, and no better such presentation has appeared than this remarkable book, the carefully considered work of over 40 well-known authorities in the field from a wide variety of countries including Australia, France, India, Israel, Peru, Poland, and South Africa. The volume contains papers delivered at a conference sponsored by the Marco Biagi Foundation at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in March 2008.

Thirty-three distinguished authorities in the field of labour and industrial relations law gather here to enhance and complement the work of the late Marco Biagi, a man who, at the time of his violent and untimely death, had shown himself to be the most insightful and committed international scholar in this complex and controversial and, as it proved, even dangerous field. The topics covered range over many of Professor Biagi's special interests, including the following: the formulation of a new basis for labour law that could resolve new issues; employee protection in corporate restructuring; the trend toward individual 'enterprise bargaining'; a new European employment policy and what it might entail; the growing phenomenon of 'flexibilisation'; the effects of an aging workforce; the crucial nexus of free trade, labour, and human rights; the promise of EU enlargement; and protection of part-time workers. There is a lot of insight, innovation, and just clear thinking in this wide-ranging and far-reaching book. It will be of exceptional value to scholars, lawyers, and others concerned with the extensive and unpredictable changes under way in today's world of work.

The Role of the State and Industrial Relations Edited by Adalberto Perulli & Tiziano Treu The new era of industrial relations that has been stealthily changing the world of work in recent decades seems to have reached a stage where it can be systematically monitored and analyzed, in great part because the “creeping renationalization” that has been noted since the financial crisis of 2008 has reinvigorated state intervention in essential economic structures. The contributions in this unrivalled book provide important new perspectives on the many challenges inherent in the present and future of the relationship between industrial relations and the state. Analyzing industrial relations systems from international, supranational, European and national points of view—and with an interdisciplinary approach connecting labour law, commercial law, corporate governance and international law—this one-of-kind book examines such salient aspects of the subject as the following: cooperative versus conflictual industrial relations systems; phenomenon of constitutionalization of power by multinational enterprises; competitive, illiberal and protectionist patterns of state regulation; freedom of association and industrial relations; potential power of transnational collective bargaining; impact of worktime arrangements; role of European Works Councils; exemplary value of the German system of workers’ participation; and global framework agreements. Using a comparative approach (the European Union, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Japan, China, the United States, Brazil, South Africa, India), the book reconstructs the general framework of global industrial relations, considering challenges and future prospects and proposing a new agenda for the state. Contributors include widely renowned professors of labour, commercial and international law, as well as experts from the International Labour Organization and the International Society for Labour and Social Security Law. The debate about industrial relations and the state in our globalized world is of major concern for practitioners in governments, companies, employers’ associations and trade unions, as well as for company managers, entrepreneurs, consultants, judges, human rights lawyers and academics interested in labour, industrial relations and social rights in European and international contexts.

Even in an era of sweeping change in all walks of life, The ongoing transformation of the world of work stands out. With the convergence of globalized markets, multinational corporate employers, and new information technologies, The old secure and stable world of offices and factories has gone the way of the dinosaurs. Inevitably, The traditional legal regimes applicable to labour and industrial relations have been altered beyond recognition, and continue to undergo rapid change. In this connection, few legal resources have proven themselves as useful as the classic compilation of expert analysis here presented in its eighth and updated edition. With the overarching purpose of describing the salient characteristics and trends in labour law and industrial relations in the world today, The bookiquest;s 23 chapters probe such crucial issues as the following: the new trade union movement; European Works Councils employersiquest; organizations; European Union; International Labour Organisation human resource management; codes of conduct of multinational enterprises; conflicts of laws in employment contracts; self-employed workers; privacy; and iquest;employability. The approach throughout is comparative, whether the specific focus is national, regional, or international. The authors bring their perspectives from a wide range of contexts, including labour unions, employersiquest; organizations, employment law practice, academic research, The European Commission, And The International Labour Organisation. They come from Germany, The United States, The United Kingdom, Belgium, The Netherlands, Australia, Israel, Switzerland, Italy, and France. Clearly, this approach has an eye To The future. Labour law and industrial relations have already become de facto international concerns, and harmonization is proceeding rapidly at both formal and informal levels. This comparative and integrated treatment of the entire field as it currently exists marks trends that will be established in a matter of years. At the moment, with its huge fund of information and its many brilliant insights, this book is an invaluable asset to practitioners, officials, and academics in the field.

Throughout the industrial world, the discipline of labor law has fallen into deep philosophical and policy crisis, at the same time as new theoretical approaches make it a field of considerable intellectual ferment. Modern labor law evolved in a symbiotic relationship with a postwar institutional and policy agenda, the social, economic and political underpinnings of which have gradually eroded in the context of accelerating international economic integration and wage-competition. These essays--which are the product of a transnational comparative dialog among academics and practitioners in labor law and related legal fields, including social security, immigration, trade, and development--identify, analyze, and respond to some of the conceptual and policy challenges posed by globalization.

Comparativism is no longer a purely academic exercise but has increasingly become an urgent necessity for industrial relations and legal practitioners due To The globalisation of the economy, The massive introduction of new information technology, The growth of multinational enterprises And The impact of international and regional organizations aspiring to harmonize rules. the growing need for comprehensive, up-to-date and readily available information on labour law and industrial relations in different countries led To The publication of the International Encyclopaedia for Labour Law and Industrial Relations, In which almost 70 international and national monographs have been published thus far. This book goes a step further than the Encyclopaedia inasmuch as most of the chapters provide comparative and integrated thematic treatment. Our aim is to describe the salient characteristics and trends in labour law and industrial relations in the contemporary world. Encouraged by the warm reception of the first six editions, we hope that also the seventh edition will serve as a textbook and reference work to facilitate the task of teachers and students of comparative labour law and industrial relations. We hope, too, that the book will provide labour lawyers, HRM and industrial relations specialists with the necessary insights to cope with a world which is increasingly international.
