Transnationalisierung der Arbeit und der Arbeitsbeziehungen

The world of work and industrial relations, which have historically mainly been defined from a national point of view, are key aspects in a complex process of political, economic and societal transnationalisation. This book presents current research findings which focus on specific problems regarding the changes to labour and industrial relations due to transnationalisation. As part of a first topic area, transnational labour markets and employment systems as well as the requirements of social and labour rights concerning transnational labour migration are examined. A second topic area is dedicated to actors, institutions and forms of regulation in the field of transnational industrial relations. In relation to the third topic area, numerous contributions discuss the impact of interculturalism, digitisation and virtuality on modern working environments, such as working in transnational teams.
