The interrelation of industrial relationships and social standards regarding the process of economic transnationalization has been controversially discussed. Regarding this debate, the following questions are supposed to be in focus at this book: a) What are the consequences of the process of transnationalization of firms and financial capital concerning industrial relations and social standards? b) Which bargaining structures on firm-level, above firm-level, on national and international level are realistic and adequate to combine short-term single-interests of firms, investors and status groups, with societal interests towards opportunities of sharing and long-term security of collective goods?
