Studying work in theory and practice: Insights for a globalising academia from the IR trajectory in Italy

Gasparri, Stefano

Abstract

This article investigates the relevance of context to the study of industrial relations by analysing the trajectory of an under-researched case outside the Anglo-Saxon hotspots, Italy. Three phases are put under the spotlight revealing a trajectory anchored to the pluralist fulcrum, but with influence first from radical perspectives and then from unitarist ones.
