Reviews
The chapters are dense with information and analysis - polished and read well. Each one is must reading for the study of labor in each particular country - A clear, first-rate book ... highly recommended ... For courses on contemporary Europe, social Europe, comparative European politics, or comparative labor movements, it will make an excellent contribution - and will also provide rich sources of information and analysis for research projects in any of the same areas ... [A] well-informed, dynamic and synthetic analysis. * Industrial and Labor Relations Review Delivers many a valuable insight. Indispensable reading for everybody interested in the recent history of European labor. * Labor History Anyone looking for an in-depth, up-to-date and balanced account of trade unions in Europe, covering the last two decades of the 20th century, need look no further ... a definitive text on contemporary European trade unionism. * Industrial Relations/Relations Industrielles A richly detailed collection of case studies that explore the multiple challenges facing unions ... a solidly researched volume that develops a number of useful concepts ... that can usefully be applied to the study of labor-based politics around the world ... the authors do an impressive job of situating European unions in an overdetermined institutional and policy-making context. * New Political Science For a European reader [this volume] makes fascinating and surprising reading because we are confronted with an American mirror that questions some European self-righteous assumptions about our social model generally considered superior. The volume is highly recommended - because of the richness of its empirical material and political-strategic reflections.A * Gewerkschaftliche Monatshefte
