This Annual Review acts both as a record and as a forum for exchanging ideas. Published each year, it identifies key events in European industrial relations, political economy and social policy during the preceding year and invites leading academic commentators from across the EU to assess their significance. The authors, writing in an accessible style, not only discuss current developments but also provide an informed, longer term perspective. The current issue, reviewing the year 2000, focuses particularly on the economic and political consequences of eastern enlargement of the EU. Other topics discussed include the effects of large multinationals on employment relations in Europe, developments in employment relations in central and eastern Europe, and the emergence of a European social policy agenda. The Review also provides a chronicle of events in European industrial relations, employment, human resource management, employment law, economics and politics for the year 2000 and a review of recent publications in the field.
