This module provides you with an introduction to European industrial relations and HRM: What are the major issues at work and employment relations in Europe by comparison to the USA? How do globalisation and European integration processes affect workers, managers and the state? The module is essential for students in international business, industrial relations and HRM. Students of European politics, sociology, social policy, law, and social justice have also found this module very interesting. This module includes additional activities: 1) a study trip to https://www.eurofound.europa.eu/, which is the tripartite EU Agency in charge of employment relations that is based in Dublin. At Eurofound, you will have direct access to actors that shape the emerging European employment relations system. 2) a joint video conference module session with a parallel class at Cornell University (New York, USA) 3) tutorials to help students preparing their team presentations
