The Value of Industrial Relations
Published in collaboration with BUIRA, this book provides a critical review of the field of industrial relations (IR) and evaluates its future in the rapidly evolving world of work.
Written by key names in IR, the book captures the significant transformations that have taken place within the field over the past decade. It traces the historical development of IR, exploring its ongoing impact on our lives. The chapters delve into various aspects, including union organization and mobilization, the influence of new technology, and the examination of intersectionality in the context of work and employment.
This is an invaluable resource for academics and students of employment and industrial relations, as well as HR professionals, trade union organizations and representatives.
“Hodder and Mustchin have drawn together a stellar array of leading authors on key challenges facing industrial relations in changing times. This is essential reading for students and scholars alike.” Jean Jenkins, University of Cardiff
“A timely book that brings together leading scholars to reflect on the field’s history and future. Its contributors make a strong case for the continued relevance of industrial relations, based on adapting and updating established theoretical frames and methods to analyse contemporary developments in the workplace and society.” Virginia Doellgast, Cornell University
