Conclusion 330 $aThis book examines the integration of major trade unions from the six biggest countries of EU`s Eastern enlargement into EU governance structures. Based on extensive empirical research, including more than 150 in-depth interviews, comprehensive data, document research, and eight detailed case studies, the contributions describe the activities and perceptions of the trade unions under investigation and the different levels of engagement, including European umbrella organizations, interregional cooperation, and European Works Councils. The book thus contributes to political science research on interest representation and Europeanization as well as sociological research on labor relations. 410 0$aChanging Europe ;$v11. 606 $aEastern enlargement 606 $ainterregional cooperation 606 $alabor 606 $apolitics 606 $aeconomy 606 $aEuropean Works Councils 606 $aEU 606 $atrade unions 606 $aEuropean Union 606 $aEuropean Integration 615 4$aEastern enlargement 615 4$ainterregional cooperation 615 4$alabor 615 4$apolitics 615 4$aeconomy 615 4$aEuropean Works Councils 615 4$aEU 615 4$atrade unions 615 4$aEuropean Union 615 4$aEuropean Integration 676 $a322.2094 702 $aLandgraf$b Christin$4edt 702 $aPleines$b Heiko$4edt 702 $aPleines$b Heiko$4edt 702 $aFischer$b Sabine$4edt 702 $aSchröder$b Hans-Henning$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954971703321 996 $aInterest representation and Europeanization of trade unions from EU member states of the Eastern enlargement$94026929 997 $aUNINA
