Global Industrial Relations
Breaking new ground and drawing on contributions from the leading academics in the field, this volume in the Global HRM Series specifically focuses on industrial relations.
Beyond the Market
Beyond the Market: The European Union and National Social Policy considers the extent to which the European Union has impacted on the formation and content of social and environmental policy in the member states, focusing on the four larger members: Germany, France, the UK and Italy. The contributors use theory and empirical evidence to highlight the factors that influence the formation and content of social policy and why some states have been able to resist EU social policy initiatives successfully and maintain their autonomy.
Affirmative Action
Affirmative Action: A View from the Global South provides insight into a range of aspects of the affirmative action policies in seven countries from Africa, Asia, South America and the Middle East. In addition to these national perspectives, important theoretical concepts and international developments on affirmative action are explored.
Liber Amicorum
Though some may categorise this work as a memorial publication, this book of friends is truly a celebratory publication by colleagues from Africa and beyond who had the privilege to know Edwell and Mathias personally. It is a tribute to the life and work of two individuals that each made a unique contribution to social justice, law and its development. As evidenced by the Tributes and Lists of Publications contained herein, both Edwell and Nyenti (as they were colloquially known) were productive scholars but they leave a legacy that extends beyond the academic realm to that of friendship and shared humanity.
Agenda for Change
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. Is there any single model of an industrial relations system to which a country could aspire?

Governing Interests
In the current period of globalization, Governing Interests presents new research on the impact of internationalization on the organization and representation of business interests through trade and employer associations. By exploring ongoing, gradual, but nevertheless profound changes in the structures and functions of business interest associations, the book develops a precise understanding of the relationship between the national and the international. Both conceptual and empirical, some papers included in this significant volume adopt a ‘bird's eye view’ of the topic, whilst others concentrate on individual industries or countries, and several, through examination and analysis, consider the effects on interest representation and the repercussions on effective governance. Contributed to and edited by leading academics, the diversity of research questions and methods used in this volume provide the reader with an excellent understanding of the subject and, importantly, caution against rash simplifications. Comprehensive and scholarly, this text will be of particular relevance to political scientists and sociologists.
