The poles of literature in this field are marked by highly descriptive case studies on the one hand and prescriptive macro-level analysis on the other. The faults of relying too much on either are well established, and this collection does a reasonable job of balancing an understanding of what is happening on the ground with a satisfying level of analysis. This is done editorially through the introduction and the division of chapters into national, industry and workplace-level studies. Within each of the chapters, however, editorial care is also evident, ensuring that authors address themselves to a series of central issues.
