- Title
THE EVOLUTION OF INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY IN THE COUNTRIES OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY.

- Abstract
The article examines the evolution of industrial democracy institutions and ideologies in the European Community. The two types of industrial democracy institutions are the legal institutions and the voluntary institutions. The distinction between the two types reflects the essential British tradition of voluntarism versus the rather more continental European practice of anchoring industrial democracy in statutory law. An important further difference exists between institutions that are composed jointly by employers/management and employees' representatives, and those that only consist of employees or unionists. It is noted that there is indeed a trend of convergence across established dividing lines between countries preferring the legal and those preferring the voluntary mode.
