Abstract
The European Journal of Industrial Relations does not carry a conventional reviews section. Recent publications are from time to time reviewed, firstly in the regular surveys of literature in individual countries or languages; secondly in occasional review articles or symposia on works covering specific themes or particularly noteworthy individual texts. Works received are also recorded in this section.
