Industrial conflict is rarely out of the news. But what is the basis of conflict in industry? What forms does it take? How is it linked to co-operation between managers and workers? In this book, Paul Edwards uses his considerable research experience to tackle these questions. He provides a rigorous theoretical treatment of conflict, challenging many Marxist and non-Marxist orthodoxies and stating a 'materialist' position. The theory is applied to a wide range of empirical examples, including non-capitalist societies. The book provides a consideration of a key aspect of modern society. Theorists of class and exploitation and industrial relations specialists should find this book of interest.
