This Handbook is an authoritative and invaluable reference tool, uniquely analyzing
the forces governing unionism, union behavior and union impact from a variety of
perspectives, both theoretical and empirical. The fourteen chapters are written in
an accessible style by acknowledged leading specialists from the fields of economics
and industrial relations. They offer a truly international perspective on this important
subject.
This superbly comprehensive Handbook examines the determinants of union membership,
models of union behavior and the economics of strikes, as well as the effects of
unions on wages, pay inequality and firm performance (to include innovation). It
also analyzes trade unions as political actors and their impact on macroeconomic
performance. Institutional detail is added in specific chapters documenting recent
developments in the US and the UK, and prospects for a Europeanization of collective
bargaining. A review of union density in more than 100 nations, is also provided.
