  This edition analyzes the comparative and international aspects of industrial relations. By surveying, integrating and reviewing the related literature and research findings, this volume examines the similarities and differences between countries and institutions around the world. New sections cover: the individualizing of industrial relations through human resource management, the 1992 EC dimension in relation to multinationals, developments in Eastern European trade unions, and the economic democracy of financial participation by workers in their own companies. In addition, a chapter on industrial relations systems and the macroeconomic performance of countries has been added, and all the existing chapters have been updated to include findings of recent research studies. The work incorporates material from Western Europe, North America, Japan and Australia.
