From Shadows to Light–A Socio-Legal Approach to Work Atmosphere

Kher’s volume, A Socio-Legal Approach to Work Atmosphere, essentially contains four rather disparate essays, three of which she had presented at different seminars. The four essays relate to the nature of industrial conflict, worker militancy in India, trade union democracy, and industrial democracy. Two more chapters have been added in the book. The first, which is an introduction, is titled: ‘Towards a Sociology of Legal Change’, and the last, which is the concluding one, is titled: ‘Looking Beyond’. Two case studies have been added as appendices, one each after chapters 2 and 3.
