Chapter 7 in Employee relations in the periphery of Europe, 2002, pp 211-222 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract At the outset, this book posed the timely question as to how employee practices in economically peripheral states are affected by accelerated European integration. It asked whether the EU operates as an agent of modernisation for industrially under-developed states. It was suggested that by pursuing this notion one might gain an explanation as to why peripheral economies are keen to join the Community despite the economic risks which, it was stressed, this entails. It was shown that an analysis of this nature involved two projects. One was the need to explore new theoretical territory and leave the well-worn paths, which European scholars traditionally tread, far behind. The second project the question created was an empirical one. The book showed that while the issue of under-development had been theoretically addressed in the EU context (Lipietz, 1997), there was a dearth of empirical investigations.
