Following an introduction to general aspects of the comparative study
of industrial relations, the course will be consist of an in-depth
exploration of four countries: the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and
Japan. Lectures and readings will offer historical and descriptive
detail as well as examine explanations for the wide variation in the
industrial relations systems of advanced industrialized countries.
Particular attention will be paid to the differences between the
countries studied and the United States.
Grading will be based on:
1. two papers (of c. 2,000-2,500 words or 8-10 pages each) describing
the labor relations system of a country included in the course and
comparing it with that of another country, ideally the United States.
The first paper is due at the beginning of week 9, and the second at
the beginning of week 13 of the course. Each paper will account for
25 percent of the final grade;
2. a final take-home essay exam (50 per cent). Students will have to
answer four out of eight to ten questions; exams will be handed out on
the final day of class (Tu Dec. 15) and will be due at 9am the
following Monday (December 20).
Students are required to read all major readings and are encouraged to
make selective use of the additional readings listed in the syllabus.
Classroom participation may raise a student's grade if the instructor
has the impression that a student's effort and accomplishment are not
adequately reflected in his or her written work.
Copies of all required reading for this course will be deposited in
the Somers Library on the 8th floor of the Social Science Building.
Most of the books included in the reading list will also be held on
reserve at the Helen C. White Library; most of the journals are
available in the Somers Library. Copies of Anthony Ferner and Richard
Hyman (eds.), Industrial Relations in the New Europe (Basil Blackwell,
1992) will be available for student purchase at the University
Bookstore. We will read the introduction and chapters 1, 7 & 16 of
the book (pp. xvi-xlix, 1-68, 218-69, 524-600); other chapters may be
used for comparative purposes in the course papers. The required
readings on the syllabus are listed in order of logical sequence and
priority.
