Summary This book looks at the role that collective bargaining plays in ensuring that workers are able to obtain a fair share of the benefits arising from participation in the global economy and in providing a measure of security against the risk to employment and wages. The various authors examine how this fundamental principle and right at work is realized in different countries and how its practice can be reinforced across borders. Co-published with Edward Elgar
