ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book focuses on the Spatial Context of power relationships between Labour and Capital by situating the theoretical debate on Employee Participation within the global dimension that the industrial transformation of Capital is creating. In turn this global dimension, with its Spatial networks for industrial organisation, at both domestic and international levels, have structured a new political environment. The exploration of the current transformation has demonstrated, through the synthesis of the processes and tendencies of Capital that the mechanisms and forms of economic development and employee regulation, are all in a state of constant transformation. In turn they are affecting the role that National and Corporate labour organisations and participative institutions have been structured to play. The book focuses on the ways that contemporary processes and the rise of specific tendencies have affected the structural context of employee’s discourse towards participation.
