Zusatztext ’The new publication European Labour Relations edited by György Széll comes in a period where increasing European integration sets new challenges for management, unions and workers. The two volumes propose a new integrated approach in focussing in the first volume on common features and in the second volume on until now rather neglected country studies, and ending with a critical assessment on the past era of deregulation. The two volumes are most welcome for labour studies within and outside Europe, for academia as well as practitioners.’ Professor Dr Tiziano Treu, Former President of the International Industrial Research Association, Former Italian Minister of Labour. ’... a welcome support for both teachers and students in the field ... also provides an abundant source for discussions among and with practitioners.’ Friedrich Furstenberg, Former President of the International Relations Association 'The volumes are full of useful ideas and backgrounds - with wider industrial democracy the aspiration' CLR News 'Szell has contributed immensely to the cause of industrial relations research in Continental Europe. This well-conceptualized and developed book will raise his stature to a still higher pedestal.'
