As a result benchmarking takes on a particular importance, as seen in a number of papers in this issue exploring institutions of labour law and industrial relations from the comparative point of view in the economic, social and legal context.

'Americanisation of the EU Social Model?', Kees J. Vos, Issue 3, pp. 355–367 |
infoKees J. Vos, 'Americanisation of the EU Social Model?' (2005) 21 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 3, pp. 355–367 | | Abstract: The European social model was developed mainly in comparison with US social and economic performance. The crucial distinction was that Europe had a much better track record in social affairs than the US. This paper examines whether or not the Lisbon objective of more competitiveness and growth will endanger the basic values of the European model. Taking into account recent trends in core dimensions, such as employment, social dialogue, social protection and cohesion, there appears to be an American-style evolution of the model.

'Tripartite Bargaining and its Impact on Stabilisation Policy in Central and Eastern Europe', Claudia-Yvette Matthes, Peggy Terletzki, Issue 3, pp. 369–403 |
infoClaudia-Yvette Matthes, Peggy Terletzki, 'Tripartite Bargaining and its Impact on Stabilisation Policy in Central and Eastern Europe' (2005) 21 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 3, pp. 369–403 | | Abstract: In this paper we examine the impact of self-imposed governmental constraints (by tripartite arrangements) and the timing of reforms (window of opportunity) on the successful implementation of large-scale reforms (fiscal stabilisation policy) in seven Central and Eastern European Countries. By analysing different sources and conducting interviews with experts and members of the tripartite councils, we consider the impact of tripartite structures on the government decision-making process in Bulgaria, Estonia, the Czech and Slovak Republics, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia. Our findings indicate that the early and continuously stabilising countries secured their policy-making by factors other than tripartite bargaining. In those countries that took a second, later approach to fiscal stabilisation, with a more confrontational style and stronger trade unions, tripartite bargaining proved to be a successful instrument.

'Globalisation and Core Labour Standards: Compliance Problems with ILO Conventions 87 and 98. Comparing Australia and other English-Speaking Countries with EU Member States', Gudrun Biffl, Joe Isaac, Issue 3, pp. 405–444 |
infoGudrun Biffl, Joe Isaac, 'Globalisation and Core Labour Standards: Compliance Problems with ILO Conventions 87 and 98. Comparing Australia and other English-Speaking Countries with EU Member States' (2005) 21 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 3, pp. 405–444 | | Abstract: In the wake of globalisation, certain ILO Conventions have assumed greater prominence in recent years. This paper focuses on ILO principles related to trade union rights and collective bargaining embodied in ILO Conventions No. 87 and No. 98. It is argued that some countries have enacted legislation and tolerated industrial behaviour incompatible with these standards. In the absence of effective international enforcement powers, governments in some countries have ignored the requests of the ILO for adherence to its principles with impunity. This issue is discussed in connection primarily with recent Australian experience and with brief observations on that of a number of English-speaking countries. The policy and practices of these countries on Conventions 87 and 98 are contrasted with those of the continental EU countries. Finally, the question is raised as to whether some of the ILO?s principles underlying these Conventions need to be re-examined. Copyright © 2005 Kluwer Law International

'Comparing the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing with the Implied Term of Mutual Trust and Confidence in the US and UK Employment Contexts', David Cabrelli, Issue 3, pp. 445–479 |
infoDavid Cabrelli, 'Comparing the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing with the Implied Term of Mutual Trust and Confidence in the US and UK Employment Contexts' (2005) 21 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 3, pp. 445–479 | | Abstract: The objective of this article is to examine the extent to which the common law systems of the US and the UK contain principles or rules which are principally designed to curb or eradicate the abuse of unfettered employer or employee power or discretion (actions and omissions) in the context of the contract of employment. This will be achieved by differentiating between the US concept of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and the UK implied term of mutual trust and confidence which are applicable to the interpretation of US and UK employment contracts respectively. In compiling the results of such a comparative study, the recognised comparative law method will be employed. In addition, where possible, an attempt will be made to delimit briefly the historical, economic and social contexts surrounding the nature, content, source and application of the implied covenant and the implied term in a bid to facilitate a basic understanding of the development of these respective concepts. In analysing the results of the comparative exercise, an assumption will be made that the jurisdictions of the US and UK both acknowledge that there is considerable merit in encouraging and propagating a unitary, conciliatory approach towards modern employment relations in the 21st century. Adopting this presupposition as a basis for presenting the results of the comparative study, various conclusions will be drawn as to what both jurisdictions perhaps have to learn from the other as a means of strengthening both of the respective concepts.

'Lockout Law in a Comparative Perspective: Corporatism, Pluralism and Neo-Liberalism', Chris Briggs, Issue 3, pp. 481–502 |
infoChris Briggs, 'Lockout Law in a Comparative Perspective: Corporatism, Pluralism and Neo-Liberalism' (2005) 21 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 3, pp. 481–502 | | Abstract: The object of this paper is to develop a classification of national legal systems and institutional practices in relation to lockouts. Three primary systems regulating the use of lockouts currently have been used in advanced market economies. First, lockouts are sometimes subject to a blanket prohibition (Southern European Corporatism). Secondly, most OECD nations limit lockouts to exceptional circumstances in which employers are considered to suffer from an imbalance of bargaining power so as to balance a right to lockout with other legal principles such as the right to strike and freedom of association (Pluralism). Thirdly, whereas most OECD nations limit lockouts to ?equalising? collective bargaining power, contemporary reforms in the Antipodes allow lockouts to be directed at unorganised workers and used to reconfigure power relations by decollectivising bargaining (Neo-Liberalism).

'The Right to Request Flexible Working in Britain: the Law and Organisational Realities', Richard Croucher, Clare Kelliher, Issue 3, pp. 503–520 |
infoRichard Croucher, Clare Kelliher, 'The Right to Request Flexible Working in Britain: the Law and Organisational Realities' (2005) 21 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 3, pp. 503–520 | | Abstract: In April 2003 the UK Government introduced the right for working parents to request flexible working arrangements under the provisions of the Employment Act 2002. This legislation has been widely criticised as providing only weak rights for employees, as neo-institutionalist business systems theory would lead one to expect in Britain?s ?Liberal Market Economy?. However, criticism of the law has to be tempered by understanding how it relates to practice in large companies and this paper investigates these practices. It finds that large companies have gone beyond the terms of the legislation, in order to establish themselves as ?employers of choice?. It is therefore argued that British practice, in reality, only partly conforms to the expectations generated by neo-institutionalist business systems theory. Copyright © 2005 Kluwer Law International

(2005) 21 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 3, pp. 521–532 | | It was fitting that the Conference on the Lisbon Strategy held at the LUISS University in Rome on 18-19 March in commemoration of Marco Biagi should include a wide range of speakers, not just labour law and industrial relations scholars, but also economists and sociologists, as well as political leaders, industrialists, trade unionists and journalists. In his opening remarks, Pier Ferdinando Casini (President, Italian Chamber of Deputies) underlined Biagi?s intellectual integrity and his ability to see beyond ideological barriers in the debate about the future of the labour market. Although the State failed to defend him from the terrorists who assassinated him, the accused are now standing trial, and the verdicts and sentences are due in the coming months. With regard to the Lisbon Strategy, the social partners are called on to play a part and social consensus is an important means for identifying the most effective solutions. Marco Biagi?s approach will enable Italy to meet the challenges: he was ?un grande amico e un grande italiano?. Copyright © 2005 Kluwer Law International

As a result, The International Journal for Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations has received so many manuscripts on questions related to employment discrimination that we have decided to dedicate a complete issue to this matter. One reason why employment discrimination is such a hot topic is the fact that in recent years extensive EC legislation proscribing employment discrimination has been passed: Directive 2000/43/EC prohibiting discrimination on grounds of race and ethnic origin, Directive 2000/78/EC banning discrimination on grounds of religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation, and finally Directive 2002/73/EC amending Directive 76/207/EEC barring sex discrimination in employment and occupation.

infoSusanne D. Burri, Filip Dorssemont, 'The Transposition of the Race Directive (2000/43/EC) and the Framework Directive on Equal Treatment in Employment (2000/78/EC) into Dutch and Belgian Law' (2005) 21 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 4, pp. 537–570 | | Abstract: This article provides a comparison of some aspects of the transposition of the Race and the Framework Directives in Belgium and the Netherlands. The context of the implementation processes differed substantially, in that the outlook of the existing Belgian and Dutch equal treatment legislation at the time of the adoption of the directives was profoundly different. The most striking differences related to the existence or the absence of comprehensive provisions relating to the grounds for the prohibition of discrimination, exemptions justifying unequal treatment and the competences of judicial or administrative supervisory bodies. The analysis of these divergences provides interesting insights into some of the problems relating to the transposition of EC equal treatment directives. The paper focuses on the extent to which these different contexts have resulted in the proper or improper implementation of the directives. Copyright © 2005 Kluwer Law International

In this regard, the article explores the existing framework for enforcement of anti-discrimination law by existing equality bodies in the UK and in Germany and supports the proposals for the establishment of single Equality Commissions in both countries. The article states that the issues of enforcing the new grounds of anti-discrimination should be addressed before the new Commissions come into existence. Copyright © 2005 Kluwer Law International

infoAaron Baker, 'A Tale of Two Projects: Emerging Tension between Public and Private Aspects of Employment Discrimination Law' (2005) 21 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 4, pp. 591–627 | | Abstract: Zeal for curing the public ill of discrimination can lead to approaches that ignore the more private concerns of individual victims of discrimination. This article explains that the forward-looking project of changing society to eliminate inequality is quite a different project from that of providing accessible and effective individual remedies for discrimination victims. To that end, the nature and divergence of these two projects is described in abstract terms, and then concretely illustrated by reference to US employment discrimination law, where a clear conflict has evolved between the two. The article then traces the development of anti-discrimination law in Great Britain, and the subtly emerging tension between the two projects here. Finally, the article assesses the contemporary discourse on reform of equality law in Britain, and suggests how a new single equality act might drive for social change without eroding the benefits of the existing system for individual dispute resolution.

infoMalcolm Sargeant, 'For Diversity, Against Discrimination: the Contradictory Approach to Age Discrimination in Employment' (2005) 21 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 4, pp. 629–644 | | Abstract: This article argues that there is a contradiction contained within the Framework Directive on Equal Treatment in Employment and Occupation and the UK Government?s proposals for implementing it. There is a distinction between the business justification for encouraging diversity in the workforce and the human rights justification for ending age discrimination. The first approach weakens the latter by legitimising continued discrimination on the basis of age. This is especially important because there is a close relationship between age discrimination and discrimination on the grounds of sex, race and disability. Copyright © 2005 Kluwer Law International

It notes the difference in approach taken in these countries to the duty to avoid negligently inflicted psychiatric harm. It then goes on to examine the limited jurisprudence on intentionally inflicted emotional distress, looking briefly at US jurisprudence in respect of potential development of the law in Ireland and the UK. Finally it examines vicarious liability, including recent Canadian developments, that are proving to be instructive. Copyright © 2005 Kluwer Law International

This is shown not only by his many excellent publications in this field, but also by the fact that there has always been a great demand for his consultancy services in institutions such as the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the Commission of the European Communities. A number of newly developed labour law systems, particularly in Africa, were shaped to a significant extent by him. In short and to make the point: the author is not only one of the most eminent scholars in international law, but in addition his practical experience in this field can hardly be overestimated. If he now presents a book drawing conclusions from all the knowledge he has acquired over the decades, the expectations are evidently high. And to be clear from the very beginning: they are met in an admirable way. Copyright © 2005 Kluwer Law International
