| Abstract: | This paper reviews the state of Irish industrial relations in current economic crisis. It argues that social partnership, paradoxically, was rooted in the continuation of a tradition of permissive voluntarism with employment rights cut to minimum with both direct and indirect implications for the current Irish economic crisis. As such, Irish industrial relations cannot be understood in isolation from a broader analysis of the rise and fall of social structures of capitalist accumulation. The paper provides a prognosis for social partnership post-economic crisis. |
