The Role of Ideas in Understanding Industrial Relations Policy Change in Liberal Market Economies
Author: Colm McLaughlin
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This paper analyzes the uneven processes underpinning industrial relations policy liberalization in New Zealand, Australia, the UK, and Ireland. Drawing upon 140 elite interviews and building upon ideational comparative political theories, the paper highlights the role of ideas in the policy change process. It identifies how particular ideas can be used to construct policy problems, how these ideas can gain legitimacy through battles with competing ideas, and how policy legacies can influence whether ideas take root. The findings from the comparative case analysis expose a critical difference between “positive legacies” and “negative legacies” to account for different liberalization trajectories.

Agenda for Change (1991) examines the experiences of five industrialised market economies in a period of profound change in industrial relations. It looks at the national history and culture affecting industrial relations, the obstacles to change and the levers that could effect it, and the respective roles of employers, unions and governments in bringing about improvement.

Industrial Relations in the Future
Author: Michael Poole
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000543757
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
First published in 1984, Industrial Relations in the Future highlights probable developments in Britain’s system of industrial relations into the 1990s. It also provides a basis for further and detailed analysis and debate of issues central to the nation’s future. Written by distinguished scholars in their respective fields, the three main sections give reviews from three contrasting traditions- mainstream industrial relations, industrial sociology and management, and labour economics. These accounts are highly complementary in the ways in which, in each and every case, issues of collective bargaining, managerial strategy and union response, and the behaviour of governments are all set against a broad backcloth of economic, political, and social changes. The authors see the ultimate outcome as depending greatly on the policies and types of action of organised labour, managements and governments, and possibly of wider social movements as well. This book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of labour economics, industrial sociology, economics, and public policy.

The Value of Work and Its Rules between Innovation and Tradition
Author: Anthony Forsyth
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527560899
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
The global challenges resulting from economic, demographic, ecological changes have led individuals to evaluate the advisability of creating new work identities, adopting a perspective based on social justice and sustainability. In this sense, this book examines the ways and the means through which the principle “labour is not a commodity” has been developed and the practical implications thereof. It will serve to help academics and practitioners in a number of fields to understand the ongoing socio-economic changes and the impact of globalisation today, and to analyze the role of public institutions and private stakeholders operating in the context where this principle is implemented.

Worker Capitalism
Author: Keith Bradley
Publisher: MIT Press (MA)
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Worker Capitalism makes the case for a pragmatic, government-assisted program of worker and worker-community ownership of businesses as a means of economic redevelopment, particularly in older industrial countries. Worker ownership, the authors contend, is a potentially superior alternative to industrial policies such as subsidies or protection. They seek to isolate the factors necessary for successful employee ownership and develop a general takeover strategy. Case studies of successful conversions to employee ownership - and one failure - from the United States, Canada, France, and the United Kingdom conclude the book.

Varieties of Liberalization and the New Politics of Social Solidarity
Author: Kathleen Ann Thelen
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781139986052
Category : Capitalism
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
"This book examines contemporary changes in labor market institutions in the United States, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and the Netherlands, focusing on developments in three arenas - industrial relations, vocational education and training, and labor market policy. While confirming a broad, shared liberalizing trend, it finds that there are in fact distinct varieties of liberalization associated with very different distributive outcomes. Most scholarship equates liberal capitalism with inequality and coordinated capitalism with higher levels of social solidarity. However, this study explains why the institutions of coordinated capitalism and egalitarian capitalism coincided and complemented one another in the "Golden Era" of postwar development in the 1950s and 1960s, and why they no longer do so. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, this study reveals that the successful defense of the institutions traditionally associated with coordinated capitalism has often been a recipe for increased inequality due to declining coverage and dualization. Conversely, it argues that some forms of labor market liberalization are perfectly compatible with continued high levels of social solidarity and indeed may be necessary to sustain it"--
