This volume explores these changes in the context of four very different societies: Germany, Sweden, Britain and Japan. However, despite their manifest differences, the author demonstrates that for long periods their labour markets were similar in many crucial respects. The book discusses: * the failure of neo-corporatism in Britain in the 1970's and the subsequent rise of Thatcherism; * the rise of Japan as a model for orderly industrial relations in the 1970Routledge explorations in economic history ;2.Labor marketHistory20th centuryCase studiesUnemploymentHistory20th centuryCase studiesIndustrial relationsHistory20th centuryCase studiesElectronic books.Labor marketHistoryUnemploymentHistoryIndustrial relationsHistory331.12Strath Bo1943,999392FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910449757503321The organisation of labour markets2293109UNINA
