Summary, etc. "Cross-Cultural Comparison of Trade Union Consciousness and Action" is a culmination of years of 'field research' in Switzerland and Britain. The book compares the relatively conflict-free relationship in Swiss industry and polity with the tension-proneness of the British The differences between the two systems are largely explained in terms of historically-induced institutionalisation of conflict in the Swiss society and its absence in Britain. The relative success with which the. Swiss have managed the inherent contradic tions of religio-linguistic diversities of Swit zerland, superimposed on the contradictions of a market economy, is largely explained with reference to the processes of nation building. The principles of 'proportionality', 'consociationalism' and 'amicability' which underpin the institutions of conflict resolu tions in Switzerland would appear to be a response to the imperatives of nation-build ing. The role of participative democracy and consensual decision-making in accomodating the aspirations of the minorities in Switzer land is contrasted with the majoratarianism and adversary political system of Britain. The institutions and processes which served to resolve conflict is transferred to the industrial level in Switzerland, whereas in Britain a contradiction between the systems (political and industrial) is reported. For wider com parative reference evidence is also drawn from Sweden and Japan. The book contends that political societies, seeking unity in the midst of multi-dimensional diversities, may have some lessons to learn from the Swiss experience of nation-building. It is argued that modernisation of socio-political institu tions must be an ongoing process in reconstituting unity.
