What is it about?

Social Dialogue at regional or global level is increasingly considered a solution to adverse social impacts of globalisation. This paper examines the diversity of national industrial relations frameworks which provide the basis for cross border Social dialogue. It explores the development of cross border social dialogue and looks at the regulatory frameworks for it.

Why is it important?

The findings show that cross border social dialogue needs a universally accepted regulatory framework. At global or European level this framework provides the basis for social partners to shape social policy, but collective bargaining, which is the dominant form in national industrial relations models cannot be replicated at international level.

Perspectives

I hope this article from the employers' point of view brings a fresh perspective to academic research, which tends to focus mostly on the trade union perspective of social dialogue.
