The contributors to this volume examine the political questions raised by the concept of the Single European Market, and its likely impact. The idea of the Single European Market originally seemed to indicate a process of deregulation and political disengagement that would leave market forces supreme. More recent developments, however, suggest that its introduction is an intensely political process, and that the recent emergence of the "social dimension" raises the possibility of a new Europe-wide agenda of social politics. The contributors to "The Politics of 1992" who include Lord Cockfield, Francois Duchene and John Pinder, consider the conflicts generated by this juxtaposition of opposing strategies, looking back at the initiatives which led to the plan for a Single European Market, as well as considering the possible outcomes.

In some western European countries, trade unions and employers' organizations share responsibility with government for maintaining order and efficiency in the labor market as a matter of course. In other countries, such a role is seen as an unacceptable interference with either the free market or the prerogatives of the state, or both. This original and wide-ranging book sets out to explain these differences and assess their significance. Crouch draws on a combination of rational choice theory and historical analysis to consider the development of industrial relations systems in fifteen countries since the 1870s. Seeking explanations for differences further back in time, the author shows that longer-term historical explanations of contemporary institutions are more necessary than most exercises in policy analysis prefer to accept.
