The European Journal of Industrial Relations, as a significant academic journal in its field, provides not only an in-depth analysis of the dynamics of European industrial relations but also extensive discussions on the theoretical interpretations and practical applications of these developments. Founded by Professor Richard Hyman and edited by Professor Guglielmo Meardi, the journal ensures the academic authority and practical relevance of its content.

The journal encourages interdisciplinary research perspectives, combining knowledge from fields such as economics, sociology, law, and human resource management, to fully understand the complex issues in industrial relations. It pays special attention to changes in the labor market, the role of trade unions, the evolution of labor law, and innovations in work organization and employment patterns. Additionally, it is committed to promoting international and comparative research, providing valuable insights for global readers by publishing cross-country comparative research findings. These studies help to reveal the differences and commonalities in industrial relations across different countries and regions, offering a cross-cultural framework of reference for policymakers and business managers.
