The economic orthodoxy of ‘light-touch’ regulation has been widely discredited by recent events in the financial markets, and shareholder-oriented management has come under intense scrutiny. As a result this collection of papers aims to consider the merits of stakeholder-oriented economies. In this volume, 35 scholars examine case studies and scenarios in a number of countries, ranging from economic powers such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany to post-socialist states such as Poland, Hungary, and Bulgaria and emerging countries such as Brazil, Russia, and India. Further studies deal with developments in Singapore and Nigeria, as well as in South Africa and other countries. With contributions from leading experts from all around the world in the fields of labour law, industrial relations, labour economics, labour statistics, human resources management, organization theory and other related subjects, the book focuses on the impact of the global economic crisis and its implications for the future of employment. Specific matters covered include: adversarial versus strategic collective bargaining; transnational collective bargaining; long-term employees as corporate stakeholders; workers’ voice and participation in the restructuring of undertakings; privatization of state-owned companies; executive pay; investment in vocational training in times of economic crisis; the impact of the EU’s Cross-Border Merger Directive; inherent dangers in the EMU one-size-fits-all monetary policy; and large-scale corporate fraud. With theoretical arguments and empirical data, this volume aims to contribute to the debate over whether shareholder or stakeholder approaches to management yield the best results in terms of employment outcomes. As the recession continues to take its toll on employment, pension funds, public services, and living standards, the book will be of interest to policymakers and legal scholars worldwide who are concerned with the future of employment relations and their effect on productivity and social stability.

Abstract
The economic orthodoxy of ‘light-touch’ regulation has been widely discredited by recent events in the financial markets, and shareholder-oriented management has come under intense scrutiny. As a result this collection of papers aims to consider the merits of stakeholder-oriented economies. In this volume, 35 scholars examine case studies and scenarios in a number of countries, ranging from economic powers such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany to post-socialist states such as Poland, Hungary, and Bulgaria and emerging countries such as Brazil, Russia, and India. Further studies deal with developments in Singapore and Nigeria, as well as in South Africa and other countries. With contributions from leading experts from all around the world in the fields of labour law, industrial relations, labour economics, labour statistics, human resources management, organization theory and other related subjects, the book focuses on the impact of the global economic crisis and its implications for the future of employment. Specific matters covered include: adversarial versus strategic collective bargaining; transnational collective bargaining; long-term employees as corporate stakeholders; workers’ voice and participation in the restructuring of undertakings; privatization of state-owned companies; executive pay; investment in vocational training in times of economic crisis; the impact of the EU’s Cross-Border Merger Directive; inherent dangers in the EMU one-size-fits-all monetary policy; and large-scale corporate fraud. With theoretical arguments and empirical data, this volume aims to contribute to the debate over whether shareholder or stakeholder approaches to management yield the best results in terms of employment outcomes. As the recession continues to take its toll on employment, pension funds, public services, and living standards, the book will be of interest to policymakers and legal scholars worldwide who are concerned with the future of employment relations and their effect on productivity and social stability.
