Summary

"Remarkably, the core element of labour relations - wage determination - has been excluded from the European social dialogue about harmonization of working conditions and national systems of social security. The present study responds by analysing the prospects of building up structures of wage formation in Europe through a reevaluation of collective bargaining and collective agreements as they exist under the law of the most industrialized Member States." "This study not only offers deep insights into how modern economies can adapt to the demands of globalization, but also demonstrates the possibility of developing wage formation systems in different national traditions by making use of specific national resources. It will be of immeasurable value to professionals, academics and officials in the relevant areas of government, legal practice, jurisprudence and labour relations."--Jacket.
