Features: Labor relations are a crucial field in the market economy. The more developed the labor market, the more significant the issues in labor relations. This book conducts an in-depth and systematic comparison and analysis of labor relations in market economy countries, summarizing the basic theories, schools of thought, institutional models, ideological viewpoints, and debates in Western labor relations. It particularly examines the legislation, policies, and experiences during periods of acute labor relations issues in these countries. The book summarizes the fundamental institutions and general patterns for adjusting labor relations in market economy countries and explores the development direction, institutional choices, and adjustment models for labor relations in China by analyzing the current state of labor relations in the country. Labor relations issues in China are becoming an unavoidable major topic and sensitive social issue in the process of economic development. After joining the WTO, the development of labor relations in China will gradually show internationalization, marketization, unipolarity, heightened volatility, and socialization trends. However, China lacks sufficient experience in handling labor relations in a market economy, as well as systematic research and theoretical guidance. The features and innovations of this book lie in its comprehensive and systematic reflection of the theories, institutions, models, ideologies, practices, and latest developments in labor relations in market economy countries, providing theoretical references and practical operational solutions for adjusting labor relations institutions, legislation, and social policy in China. By integrating the theories and methods of sociology, economics, and law, the book offers a new comprehensive perspective and deeper understanding for researching and addressing labor relations issues. It explores the impact of economic globalization on labor relations and compares the institutional and policy approaches of different countries. The book holds broad research value and practical application in establishing and improving a labor relations coordination system adapted to the market economy system, as well as in preventing and responding to acute labor relations issues.
