This important collection of essays brings together the main findings of ILO research since the start of the global financial and economic crisis in 2008. With contributions from diverse research disciplines, the volume provides new perspectives on employment and income-led growth and the role of regulation, and makes policy recommendations for the future. The collection presents the different policy responses that have been put in place in different regions and assesses their effects. It also examines the reforms that are needed in labour markets, incomes, enterprises and social protection to achieve a sustainable recovery in the world of work. The role of social dialogue in overcoming obstacles to the implementation of these reforms and in ensuring their equity is discussed. Finally, the volume looks at how globalization of trade and finance can be made fairer.

This landmark volume chronicles the history and practice of industrial relations to date. It focuses on the largely untold story of how the globalization of industrial relations took hold and explores in depth the pivotal events, idea, and people behind it. For the most part, the roots of industrial relations field are found in the United Kingdom and North America, and this volume takes a substantive look at the field and practice that developed in these regions before the Second World War. A comprehensive and informative account of post-World War II events is also provided. The book highlights the four all-important pillars that shaped industrial relations after this period: the International Labour Organization, the International Industrial Relations Association (IIRA), American intellectual dominance in the several decades following the war, and the spread of industrialism, market economies, trade union movements, and democratic forms of government to many non-Western nations.
