Reviews
The individual country chapters provide invaluable detail on the development and progress of trade unions in each context. The book will obviously be read by specialists in the field, should be dipped into by country specialists who perhaps know little about this aspect of transition, and could usefully be recommended to those academics and students concerned more generally with trade unions and the collective organization of labor in the twenty-first century. * Slavic Review *
This book is a valuable contribution to discussions of the future of labor. * Labor History *
The volume as a whole is a helpful guide for understanding trends in labor power in post-communist Europe, as well as broader economic and political change both there and in other transitional societies. Recommended to academic scholars and students of post-communist Europe. Practitioners and policy-makers from the region who are interested in political aspects of union restructuring may also find the book valuable. * Industrial and Labor Relations Review *
This informative volume provides a valuable snapshot of the last 10 years of union politics in Eastern Europe. It offers a sound basis for further debates on union weakness and very suitable material for graduate courses in economic sociology, labor studies, and comparative politics, union or otherwise. * American Journal of Sociology *
A valuable collection of studies of labour and the Eastern European transition that has much to offer a wider audience. * Labour/Le Travail: Journal Of Canadian Labour Studies *
Crowley and Ost have put together a valuable contribution to the comparative study of labor in postcommunist Eastern Europe including most of the Balkans, the Ukraine, and Russia. * Balkan Academic News Book Review *
