301051 Industrial Relations in a Globalizing World (S) (SoSe 2022)
Contents, comment
-
In capitalist economies, Industrial Relations are the arena in which corporate actors (trade unions, employers and/or their organizations, and the State) negotiate working conditions and payment for workforces on enterprise, industry, or societal level. Different countries display differing systems of Industrial Relations with important impacts for economic success, level of conflicts, and the distribution of wealth.
In the seminar, students will learn about different types of systems of Industrial Relations in Europe, Asia, and America. Moreover, we will discuss impacts of globalization processes on these systems, as well as the emergence of Industrial Relations on a supra national level.
Seminar language is English.
