Industrial Relations A Short History of ideas and Learning

According to Elvander (2002:):
"Industrial relations (or labour market relations) emerged as a multi-disciplinary field of research in Great Britain and the USA about one hundred years ago. However, it took nearly half a century for research and teaching within this broad field to really gain momentum. As a distinct academic discipline, industrial relations (IR) is primarily an Anglo-Saxon phenomenon. It is only since World War II that a corresponding multi-disciplinary treatment of the complex of problems pertaining to the employment relationship, albeit under different labels and in other organizational forms, has emerged in continental Europe as well as Scandinavia and Japan."

The Writer according to Magnusson (2002):
"The topic of this essay written by Professor Emeritus Nils Elvander – one of the most prominent scholars in this particular field in the world – is to present an historic outline of the sub-discipline of Industrial Relations. One striking feature of this historical sequence is of course how connected the field of industrial relations has been to the development of industrial society at large and the shifting power relationships between labour and capital. During the early 20th century a tri-partite structure was developed on the basis of the First and Second Industrial Revolutions including the trade unions, the employer organisations and the state. This once so strong structure has gradually been dissolved as the Second industrial society has been transformed into the Third industrial revolution during recent decades. As a consequence, also the sub-discipline of Industrial Relations has changed face. What it will turn to in the future is not the main topic of this historical essay, but it nevertheless gives much food for such reflections which is necessary in order to re-establish and re-new interest in Industrial Relations as a theoretical and intellectual undertaking also in the future."
