The first edition of "Industrial Relations and Law in Hong Kong", by Joe England and John Rear, was published in 1981. It has remained the definitive work on the subject, and has proved invaluable to students and to all who seek an understanding of Hong Kong´s remarkable system of individual relations. The second edition, by Joe England, has been completely rewritten to provide a concise introduction to the study of Hong Kong´s system of labor management. The book makes extensive use of legal, sociological, historical, and institutional material to explain the system of industrial relations which has contributed so much to the economic success of Hong Kong.
