The Steel Industry in the New Millennium Vol. 2

This volume is divided into three sections, which correspond to the Conference's Working Group I on "Privatisation and New Business Strategies", Working Group IV on the "The Social Dimension" and Working Group V on the "Steel Industry in the European Union". This volume brings together papers by a world-wide selection of academics, leading steel executives, trade unionists and directors of international organisations. It focuses on the institutional changes that have affected the industry, comparing patterns of privatisation in different countries and analysing steel companies' global business strategies, the effects of restructuring on industrial relations, the changing impact of the EU and the evolution in the global regulatory environment of the steel industry.
