Labor Relations in a Globalizing World

Compelled by the extent to which globalization has changed the nature of labour relations, Harry C.

Katz, Thomas A. Kochan, and Alexander J. S. Colvin give us a textbook that focuses on the workplace outcomes of the production of goods and services in emerging countries.

In 'Labor Relations in a Globalizing World', they draw lessons from the United States and other advanced industrial countries to provide a menu of options for management, labour, and government leaders in emerging countries.

They include discussions based in countries such as China, Brazil, India, and South Africa which, given the advanced levels of economic development they have already achieved, are often described as 'transitional', because the labour relations practices and procedures used in those countries are still in a state of flux.
