18.11.08: New GURN Web
http://www.gurn.info/en/18-11-08-new-web-site
The Global Union Research Network (GURN) launched its new dynamic web site on 18th November 2008.
After four years of existence the GURN is now proud to present a more user-friendly and attractive web site. Users will find it much easier to navigate and search for documents and information on the many topics covered by the GURN.
Also new is the topic on Public-Private Partnership, which allows us able to provide information on eleven important research topics.
* Corporate Governance
* Economic Alternatives and Poverty Eradication
* Global Trade Union Strategies (Union Renewal)
* Health Politics and Trade Unions
* Migration
* OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises
* Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) & International Financial Institutions (IFIs)
* Public-Private Partnerships
* Sustainable Development
* Trade
* Wages and Collective Bargaining
The new Public-Private Partnership (PPP) page is created to shed light on the issues and concerns related to PPPs in different countries. Multi-stakeholder partnerships, which are referred in the literature as PPPs, are treated separately. The webpage, a combination of papers and websites that provide useful information, analyses and current debates on PPPs, aims at helping the teachers unions and researchers gain critical understanding of PPPs towards a more informed and strategic response to the issue. Other public services unions may find the webpage relevant for their work.
If you know about documents and information relevant to the GURN topics please do not hesitate to contact the relevant topic coordinators directly or to the overall network coordinator. We also appreciate your general feed-back and comments.
