Abstract
Industrial relations are changing throughout the developed world, as unions, employers, and governments adapt to greater international competition. The result is an increasing diversity of employment practices, making it difficult to identify clear trends and patterns of change. Part IV is the conclusion of comparative international study of industrial relations, seeking to describe, explain, and generalize from the contemporary changes in employment practices.
