Descrizione Collective Bargaining and Wages in Comparative Perspective: Germany, France, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United King
In an introductory essay by the distinguished editors, this important study takes the situation in Germany, the most prominent manifestation of this European crisis, as its starting point. Then, academic experts from France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Sweden describe comparable problems in their own countries, detail approaches to dealing with them, and provide a critical commentary, including judgements and suggestions in relation to the German case. Then follows a reexamination of the situation in Germany in the light of the experience of the other countries. A final chapter outlines some preliminary interpretations of European prospects. This ground-breaking study not only offers deep insights into how modern economies can adapt to the demands of globalisation, but also demonstrates the possibility of developing wage formation systems in different national traditions by making use of specific national resources. It will be of immeasurable value to professionals, academics, and officials in the relevant areas of government, legal practice, jurisprudence, and labour relations.
