As a labor relations researcher and instructor focusing on developing countries I find Labor Relations in a Globalizing World full of interesting and innovative ideas; it is a breakthrough in comparative labor relations education. I am particularly impressed by the authors' innovative approach to integrating labor relations analysis with specific issues in major and typical developing countries including China, India, Brazil, and South Africa. -Mingwei Liu, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey Harry C. Katz, Thomas A. Kochan, and Alexander J. S. Colvin are all internationally known and respected scholars with a knowledge of the field in a wide range of countries. The design of Labor Relations in a Globalizing World is excellent and builds on the very well-known and accepted three-tier model. The authors cover a broad spectrum of economies and provide new insights into the field of comparative labor relations. -Russell Lansbury, University of Sydney, coauthor of International and Comparative Employment Relations
