`Overall, this is a welcome and scholarly addition to the iterature
in this area. As such, it demands very close reading. It presumes a
reasonable grasp of basic statistics and there are numerous tables
of considerable complexity. Nevertheless, this book should be of
great interest to academics in comparative industrial
relations.'

valuable datap base for the analysis of quite different
developments at national level as well as comparative issues.'
