The Industrial Democracy in Europe project offers a unique opportunity to assess the changes in European industrial relations systems in general, and participation schemes in particular. In 1981 the Industrial Democracy in Europe team (IDE) reported their findings on the extent of industrial democracy in ten European countries during the 1970s. The present volume reports the findings for the subsequent decade. It is particularly useful to have a longitudinal research project that analyses the changes in participation schemes. The research team have looked at ten European countries (including Poland) and also comment on the situation in Israel and Japan. Contributors: B. Wilpert, E. Rosenstein, P. Drenth, R. Peccei, F.

Readership: Academics and students of industrial relations and management in a changing Europe; human resource and personnel managers and trade union officers.

"There is much that is commendable in this work. By conceptually mapping the macro domain of industrial democracy, a valuable foundation has been laid by these authors for further sociological study of workplace decision making ... replication research is very rare is worthy of admiration and emulation ... there is much that can be derived from this work to inspire further study." - Organization Studies
