Overview

Paul G. Buchanan and Kate Nicholls explore the political and economic fortunes of organized labour in five small, open democracies between 1975 and 2000. Of particular interest is the role of labour market institutions, organizational histories and trade union ideologies in shaping outcomes under conditions of economic liberalization. The book includes a theoretical and methodological introduction, followed by individual discussions of Australia and Chile, and New Zealand and Uruguay, grouped in cross-regional pairs, and Ireland as an extra regional and atypical case.
