Industrial Relations in a Changing World (1975) shows how industrial relations embrace very deep-rooted attitudes and institutions, and that change, if it is to be radical, is slow. This book exposes long-term trends underlying developments in the 1970s, emphasising the importance and variety of objective industrial conditions that condition bargaining, the capacity of bargaining machinery to absorb change, the long-standing ideology inherent in the social contract, and the gradual emergence of a multinational dimension in trade union affairs.
