The growing need for comprehensive, up-to-date and readily available information on labour law and industrial relations in different countries led to the publication of the International Encyclopedia for Labour Law and Industrial Relations.;The aim of this book is to describe the salient characteristics and trends in labour law and industrial relations in the contemporary world. The chapters provide a comparative and integrated thematic treatment, expanding from the scope of the Encyclopedia.;Comparativism is no longer a purely academic exercise but has increasingly become an urgent necessity for industrial relations and legal practitioners, due to the growth of multinational enterprises and the impact of international and regional organizations aspiring to harmonize rules.
