Industrial relations in Chinese multinational corporations in Europe: A regional lens
本文作为特刊引言，概述中国对欧洲外商直接投资的兴起，批判制度主义方法，采用区域视角分析欧洲的共有特征与国家特性，解释欧洲制度与行为体如何与中国投资互动或被塑造。
As an introduction to the special issue titled ‘China’s Influence on Industrial Relations in Europe and Beyond’, this article sets the scene by providing an overview of the emerging influence of Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) in Europe. With a critique of the institutional approach, an approach which has dominated debates about FDI behaviour, and its implications for industrial relations in host countries, we employ a regional lens to examine Europe, focussing on the region’s shared characteristics and national specificities, and we explicate how Europe’s institutions and actors have interacted with or been shaped by Chinese FDI in the context of geopolitical developments between China and Europe.
