Abstract

The country chapters in this study highlight the diversity in national arrangements for adjudicating employment disputes within a relatively small group of countries, but also point to some common features. This chapter aims to explore how this diversity and commonality might be explained. In particular, it considers whether it is possible to draw on broad social models that have a determinate effect on institutions within them and which might assist in understanding the origins, persistence or change of these institutions. We argue that such models can play a helpful role in comparing adjudicative systems and might usefully direct research into their legal and social history. Some caution, however, is in order. Abstract models still need to leave some ‘allowance for the unexpected’ (Hirschman, 1987: 188), and anomalies can be instructive.
