Trade unionism in its various forms has been the subject of increasing scrutiny during the second half of the 20th century. Designed for students taking industrial relations courses, this study examines the remarkably diverse purposes which have been attributed to the trade union movement, and describes the varying forms of trade unions that exist in different countries and the reasons for these variations. In the first part of the book, Professor Martin presents a comprehensive account of the conflicting objectives, responsibilities and functions that have been foisted on the trade unions, mainly by outsiders. The book then establishes, with particular reference to 27 countries, a typology by which the institutional forms of trade unionism can be ordered and categorized on a transnational basis. Professor Martin also develops a theory which explains their major differences in terms of political parties and party systems.
