The role of HRM in Latin America has now emerged as a relatively new focus for research in International HRM. The articles in this e-book detail contemporary developments in HRM in Latin America, with contributions by academics working in the field of Human Resource Management (HRM) on two themes: the role of left-leaning national governments vis-à-vis HRM in countries in the region and on contemporary developments in HRM also. Some of the articles are based on empirical research, and others are analytical in focus. It has contributions from authors in Argentina, Columbia, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Peru and several more countries, and their works engage with some leading existing developments in International HRM, such as convergence and divergence, the role of national culture, and more recently, the role of organisational context.

About Employee Relations
The employment relationship field is at the forefront of the human resource management scene. Good employee relations are not only desirable, they are a commercial necessity, helping to reduce absenteeism, avoid costly disputes and harness goodwill to achieve optimum performance, commitment and effectiveness.
Employee Relations focuses on the importance of understanding and merging corporate, management and employee needs to increase efficiency, productivity and profitability. Drawing on the latest ideas, research and best practice, Employee Relations examines the implication of the changes taking place and how they affect the management and motivation of people.
