Les relations professionnelles : un paradigme en voie de disparition ou de reconfiguration ?

Abstract

Industrial relations refer to both a set of practices and rules governing labour relations and a research field investigating the latter. Their development went hand in hand with the implementation of post-war Fordist capitalism. Rapid changes in the working worlds and the questioning of institutions and work regulations for several decades, both in the Anglo-Saxon world and in Europe, have logically led to a decline of the paradigm of industrial relations. But how should we consider this present situation? As a disappearance or as a recomposition?
