TOPICS

The Journal of Industrial Relations takes a broad interdisciplinary approach to the subject of the world of work. It welcomes contributions which examine the way individuals, groups, organisations and institutions shape the employment relationship.

The Journal takes the view that a comprehensive understanding of industrial relations must take into account economic, political and social influences on the power of capital and labour, and the interactions between employers, workers, their collective organisations and the state.

CONTRIBUTIONS

The JIR welcomes contributions exploring the traditional concerns of industrial relations as well as studies addressing the intersection of workplace, family and community and how individuals, groups, organisations and institutions (including governments) shape employment relationships. The JIR has an international reputation for publishing rigorous analyses, including theoretically informed case studies as well as international and comparative articles.

It is a peer reviewed journal.
