The Transformation of Labour Relations: Restructuring and Privatization in Eastern Europe and Russia

by J. E. M. Thirkell, K. Petkov, S. Vickerstaff

Overview

The substantial political changes in Eastern Europe and Russia since 1989 have been accompanied by the attempted transfer, imposition, and imitation of labor relations practices from other market economies. The authors address the extent to which these transferred labor-relations institutions are likely to take root and offer a comparative analysis of changing labor relations at national level in a range of countries.
