About this title

Synopsis

This collection analyses, advertises and criticizes the contribution of industrial relations to social science understanding. It brings together scholars to reconsider the theoretical foundations of industrial relations and its potential contribution to the wider understanding of work and economic life, to learn what it can gain from a stronger engagement with these surrounding disciplines and national traditions.
