Overview

The state has traditionally played the predominant role in shaping employment patterns and social policy in France. In examining this role, this book analyzes the impact of globalization on French industrial relations. Looking at the changing economic context of industrial relations, this important text places particular emphasis on the notion of a shift from a national, Fordist form of employment regulation to an international, post-Fordist form. The impact of this shift on the role of the French state and on the balance of power between employer and trade union organizations are examined in detail. Including chapters on the role of the state, employer organizations, collective bargaining and workplace representation, ""French Industrial Relations in the New World Economy"" explores this fascinating topic in detail and provides a detailed resource for postgraduates studying trade unions, industrial and employee relations, and industrial studies in general.
