[excerpt]
" [...] It is as fatuous to speak of an 'end of industrial relations' as it was, over a decade ago, to write of an 'end of history'. Though the traditional field of industrial relations field may have been transformed, our teaching and research have adapted to the new realities, as we explain below. Indeed, industrial relations scholars are at the forefront of making sense of the changing nature of work and employment relationships, in the process often challenging the oversimplified accounts prevalent in popular discourse.
