Routledge Unions, Change and Crisis - French and Italian Study

Unions, Change and Crisis provides a detailed, comparative, and historical study of two major European trade union movements. Originally published in 1982, this work presents the results from the first major study conducted by Harvard University's Centre for European Studies. The book examines the evolution of French and Italian union movements from 1945 through the end of the 1970s. It analyzes these movements both individually and through a comparative lens to understand their impact on political economy. This text is a significant resource for academic research and professional study. It is designed for students and scholars focusing on trade unions, industrial relations, and the political economy of France and Italy. By exploring how these movements navigated periods of change and economic crisis, the book offers deep insights into European labor history and organizational strategy.
