Abstract

The multi-level system that European integration is prompting involves both formal and informal processes. Significant developments are taking place in these processes, and in the balance between them, which are integral to the system’s dynamics. This chapter seeks to clarify what is involved. The initial focus is on collective bargaining, which, together with legal enactment, represent the two traditional methods of industrial relations regulation. Despite multiple challenges, collective bar-gaining appears to be not only surviving, but also gaining ground (Spyropoulos, 2002: 395). As well as assuming some of the functions traditionally performed by legal enactment, it appears to be taking on fresh roles. These developments are not restricted to the supranational level, but also feature within national systems, irrespective of different legal traditions. In the process a distinct shift from ‘hard’ to ‘soft’ forms of regulation is apparent.
