GUSTO Working Papers

Meeting the challenges of economic uncertainty and sustainability –through employment, industrial relations, social and environmental policies in Europe

The GUSTO Link opens in a new windowresearch project was funded by the European Commission’s Framework Programme Seven. Coping with economic uncertainty while seeking security is a central dilemma of public policy in a globalising economy. The aim of GUSTO was to study that process as it affects European countries and to consider policy options for the future. It requires a new approach, different from the focus of past research on industrial relations and human resource management.
