"European trade unions played a central role in building a "European model of society"--Negotiated labor-management relations, high labor standards, generous welfare states, and collective political representation - which reached its pinnacle in the earlier post-World War II era. More recently, this European "model" and the unions place in it have been challenged by lower growth, rising unemployment, accelerated European integration, and neo-liberal policies. These essays, written by some of the leading scholars in the field, examine responses of union movements to these challenges over the past two decades in six major European countries as well as cross-nationally at the European Union level."--Jacket
