Trade Unions and the State
«Winner of the 2005 Labor History Book Prize, Labor History Journal "Howell writes directly and clearly. He integrates into his study the concepts of many authors and his research is current... Howell has created a work of merit and it deserves the attention and respect of students of the British industrial relations."--James W. Stitt, EH.net "Howell's work ... well repays a careful reading. In less than 200 pages of text, he reinterprets British history, and points toward a new approach to understanding some of the central questions of our time. I recommend Trade Unions and the State without reservation."--Gerald Friedman, Industrial and Labor Relations Review»
The collapse of Britain's powerful labor movement in the last quarter century has been one of the most significant and astonishing stories in recent political history. How were the governments of Margaret Thatcher and her successors able to tame the unions? In analyzing how an entirely new industrial relations system was constructed after 1979, Howell offers a revisionist history of British trade unionism in the twentieth century. Les mer
Meticulously researched, Trade Unions and the State not only sheds new light on one of Thatcher's most significant achievements but also tells us a great deal about the role of the state in industrial relations.
