The core course Employment Relations will give you an introduction to the theory and practice of employment relations, broadly defined. The syllabus examines the employment relationship from the perspective of a number of different disciplines including sociology, psychology, economics, history and law. It deals with the nature of work and the problem of control. Discussion initially focuses on different management techniques and worker responses to these. Subsequently, we move to examine the employment relationship from an institutional perspective, looking at the role of the state, law, and supranational organisations such as the EU. We also look at the way in which economic and political contexts shape employment relations. In particular, we examine the impact of globalisation on employment relations.
