Comparing European Workers<br />
Research in the <strong>Sociology</strong> of Work<br />
Volume 22, Part A & B<br />
Editor<br />
David Brady, Duke University, NC, USA<br />
Synopsis<br />
This set of volumes places the labor markets, workplaces, jobs <strong>and</strong><br />
workers of Europe in comparative perspective. It focuses on the<br />
politics, economics, sociology, <strong>and</strong> history of work <strong>and</strong> workers in<br />
Europe. Authors contribute a variety of methodological <strong>and</strong> theoretical<br />
perspectives, with papers that push the boundaries of evidence<br />
<strong>and</strong> argument. In order to place European workers in comparative<br />
perspectives, the volume features articles that analyze specific<br />
European countries, industries <strong>and</strong> firms, analyze Europe as one of<br />
a few cases, <strong>and</strong> analyze many European countries within a crossnational<br />
sample. Specific topics covered include: a multilevel study<br />
of perceived job insecurity in 27 European countries; work values<br />
<strong>and</strong> job rewards among European workers; managerial intensity <strong>and</strong><br />
earnings inequality in affluent democracies; cross-national patterns<br />
in individual <strong>and</strong> household employment <strong>and</strong> work hours by gender<br />
<strong>and</strong> parenthood; the political economy of active social policy in postindustrial<br />
democracies; social protection dualism, deindustrialization<br />
<strong>and</strong> cost containment; organized labor in Europe; <strong>and</strong> unionization in<br />
East European ex-communist countries.<br />
