This text follows on from Kluwer's ""International Encyclopaedia for Labour Law and Industrial Relations"", in which almost 70 international and national monographs have been published. This textbook and reference work goes a step further than the encyclopaedia, in as much as most of the chapters provide comparative and integrated thematic treatment. The aim is to describe the salient characteristics and trends in labour law and industrial relations in the contemporary world.;This seventh edition should be of interest to teachers and students of comparative labour law and industrial relations, as well as to labour lawyers and HRM and industrial-relations specialists.
