European Trade Unions in a Time of Crises

Więcej o książce

In the wake of the Great Recession Europe today is characterised by increasing economic and political polarisation. This has been reflected over recent years in the increasing divergence of trade union trajectories. This book analyses trade union development since the early 2000s, covering eleven countries (Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the UK), together with a separate study on EU-level federations. The individual chapters focus on unions' structural, organisational, institutional and discursive power resources. One feature in particular emerges from the turbulent European trade union landscape, namely the challenge of becoming politically more autonomous while long-standing institutional power resources are at increasing risk of being dismantled or of losing their effectiveness.
