 Industrial Relations Research Institute
Industrial relations in the public sector emphasizing public policy issues and current trends in federal, state, and local government; public education developments in Wisconsin; theories of employer-employee relations; and comparison between the experience in the private sector of the U.S. with the public sector in other western industrialized nations.
Industrial relations research has evolved from a primary focus on unions and collective bargaining to a field that encompasses both union-management relations and the much broader rangeof work-related issues confronting workers, employers, and public policy makers.
Students who desire a specialization in human resources, employment and training, staffing, compensation, labor relations, affirmative action, or worker safety find industrial relations to be the appropriate field of study.

 GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ECONOMIC SOCIOLOGY
Economic Institutions (Sociology 652): The second course uses the concepts from the first course to look more empirically at a number of important economic institutions and processes: labor markets, credit markets, firms and corporations, land, skills and skill formation, the labor process, technical change and innovation, and the role of associations in economic governance.
In the wake of increasing globalization of the economy and transformations in the relationship between states and markets, many scholars have become increasingly aware of the need for systematic analyses of the social dimensions of economic institutions and practices.
In politics, similarly, debates over economic governance were long transfixed on a polarized choice between unregulated markets and public hierarchy as cardinal and competing means of ordering economic life.
