Main themes

Some explanatory theories of industrial relations systems. - Interrelations between, on the one hand, the law of the land and, on the other, law as established under collec-tive agreements; the intervention of the state, and autonomy of the social partners. - The structures, ideologies and strategies of employers' association and trade unions; political options and sys-tems for recognising representativeness. - The diversity and degrees of institutionalisation and representation.

Aims

To introduce students to explanatory theoretical frameworks of industrial relations systems. - To help them understand the specific linkage of various 'typical' systems that have grown up in European countries. - To help them identify, and make a comparative analysis of, the main specific features of, and differences be-tween, these typical systems and explanatory variables.
