MG324 International Comparative Industrial Relations
Final B.Comm
The objectives of this course are, first, to examine the growing field
of international regulation of industrial relations and labour
standards and, second, to pursue a comparative analysis of the
framework, conduct and performance of industrial relations in a number
of selected countries. The international section of the course will
document and interpret the emergence of a European ’system’ of
industrial relations as a counterpart to the development of the single
market and the impact on labour market institutions and practices in
the member states. It will also study the operation of international
bodies such as the International Labour Organisation and review the
development of international labour standards. The comparative section
of the course will ’benchmark’ and compare Ireland’s industrial
relations system with those of other industrialised countries. By the
end of the course, students will have an understanding of the global
context of industrial relations, in particular the role of European
Union legislation and policy, as well as the institutional framework
and operation of industrial relations in a number of EU and non-EU
countries. Students will also be aware of the theoretical models used
for the comparison and assessment of different industrial relations
systems, and their application to Ireland.
