This book explores how posting is changing industrial relations systems in several European countries from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.

Rezensionen

"This edited volume is a much-needed contribution from leading scholars that addresses key contradictions of free movement of labour within the European single market from the perspective of a critical political economy of regulation. In so doing, it breaks new ground and repositions previously disparate disciplinary preoccupations. As such, it will be a key reference for those interested in industrial relations, labour law and regulation theory, as well as for policy-makers and practitioners at national and European level concerned with the increasingly contentious labour market implications of the cross-border movement of migrant workers." -Charles Woolfson, Linköping University, Sweden

"Posted workers are the critical test of free movement of workers, and thereby of the whole EU project. This book provides the ultimate analysis of a phenomenon that is still not clearly understood, and does not refrain from providing sharp policy recommendations." -Guglielmo Meardi, University of Warwick, UK
