Global Industrial Relations or Corporate Welfare Policy and the Welfare State

Global Industrial Relations

Author: M J Morley

Breaking new ground and drawing on contributions from the leading academics in the field, this volume in the Global HRM series specifically focuses on industrial relations.

The text is divided into two distinct, but overlapping sections, namely regional variations in global industrial relations systems and contemporary themes in global industrial relations. Specifically, the text is intended to provide an overview of the industrial relations systems of nine regions (North America, South America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand, Asia, Africa, and India). Having examined these systems the second section of the book examines some overarching themes in global industrial relations.

Combining both systems and thematic issues, this important new text will be invaluable reading for anyone studying or interested in global industrial relations.

Corporate Welfare Policy and the Welfare State: Bank Deregulation and the Savings and Loan Bailout

Author: Davita Glasberg

An examination of the savings and loan crisis and subsequent bailout reveals that the welfare state is a dynamic process: the bailout is an extension of a larger process of state projects for economic intervention that began with banking regulation following the Great Depression of the 1930s, and continued with the Chrysler bailout legislation in 1979 and the Garn-St. Germain Act of 1982, which deregulated the banking industry. In viewing the welfare state as a power process involving shifts in relative emphases on corporate and social welfare policies and expenditures, this book provides both central case studies and a new conceptual framework for policy debates on "welfare as we know it."
