The Role of the State in Industrial Relations
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: This article examines the role of the state in industrial relations, which has been highly neglected in the literature. It examines the nature of the state and proposes a typology of four distinct roles of the state that affect industrial relations: (1) a third party regulator of labor relations; (2) a regulator of markets; (3) an establisher of the welfare system; and (4) its own employer and policy maker. In doing so, the article sheds light on the importance of the concepts of power and politics in industrial relations that have been unnoticed by industrial relations orthodoxy; that is, it attempts to clarify how each of the four roles of the state affects the power relations between labor and management.
