Also included is an engaging exploration about interest groups, organized interests, and bargaining processes within the workplace. A thorough introduction, containing concrete examples. Recommended for students of industrial relations and human resources management.

`Overall the book is useful, not simply for reminding us of the continued salience of industrial relations, the employment relationship and the labour process, but also for showing that the future may see not convergence (even towards a "Euro-model" yet alone across a wider canvass) - diversity may even be increasing' - Asia Pacific Business Review

`Conceptually this book is very nicely organized.... In Part 2 there are chapters on trade unions (Jelle Visser), employers' associations (Frans van Waarden; one of the best essays I have ever read on this topic) and the state (also by van Waarden)' - Comparative Industrial Relations Newsletter

`It is impossible in this review to discuss all the rich ideas contained in this comprehensive reader. Not only from its contents, but also from a didactic point of view, the book is excellent (for example the many explanatory panels) and is a useful tool for all researchers and teachers of industrial relations as well as for labour economists' - Economic and Industrial Democracy
