Chapter 1
Introduction

The Europeanisation of Industrial Relations

Berndt Keller and Hans-Wolfgang Platzer

European integration, although from its inception both an economic and a political project, has been driven predominantly by economic interests and means. Since the 1970s one key rationale of European market-building has been the aggregation of the patchwork of Europe's national economies into a single bloc as an effective counterweight to the challenges of global economic competition (vis--vis North America and the Asia-Pacific region). In this respect, European integration can be seen as both a response to economic internationalisation and a means of reinforcing it. Following the completion of the Single Market in the early-1990s and the inauguration of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) in the late-1990s, economic integration within the EU has attained a unique quality when compared with all previous stages of European economic and political integration, as well as with other regional trading blocs such as NAFTA or ASEAN.

Against this background, and specifically the impact of rapidly advancing European integration on industrial relations, the emergence of a broad political and academic debate on the issue of industrial relations and European integration, which has gathered ground in particular since the 1990s, is unsurprising.
