Centred on an area of growing interest across a range of disciplines, this book examines how the American model of industry and management structure - with general and industrial relations in particular - have influenced the industrial relations practices of other countries. It: uses historiography to investigate the international relations of industrial relations; compares the Americanization of industrial relations with Americanization in other fields; investigates the role of multinational companies in spreading American industrial relations; and, compares the American industrial relations system, European and Japanese systems and whether movements toward American industrial relations systems have helped or hurt these other economies. This original and insightful work will interest scholars working on industrial relations as well as international relations and Americanization generally.
