Trade Unions in Western Europe
« The book presents the findings of a four-year study of the challenges facing trade unions and their responses in ten west European countries. The project involved a substantial number of interviews with key union representatives and academic experts in each country, together with the collection of a large amount of union documentation and background material.

Transnational Trade Unionism
Transnational trade union action has expanded significantly over the last few decades and has taken a variety of shapes and trajectories.

Transformations of Trade Unionism
Based on comparisons of long-term developments and focusing on transnational connections, this book shows that historically there have been many varieties of trade unionism.
