Foundations of Arbitration: The Origins and Effects of State Compulsory Arbitration, 1890-1914

State compulsory arbitration of industrial disputes is a crucial aspect of the Australian political economy, yet has remained a source of controversy and debate. This collection of fifteen essays brings a fresh approach to issues surrounding the introduction of arbitration, examining the major constituent elements of the Australian system, the source of its ideas, the key protagonists in the system's introduction, and the effects of compulsory arbitration on industrial relations, management control, and trade unions.
