A symposium paper on the then Rhodesia government's industrial policy, originally presented at symposium on Industry in Rhodesia, 11th and 12th June, 1969. ; The basic objective in the economic field of all Governments, but particularly of Governments of developing countries such as Rhodesia, is to achieve the maximum long term, rate of growth of the real wealth of the country. There are differences of opinion in the world today as to the best method of achieving this growth, and as to how the national wealth should be shared among the inhabitants of a country, but the aim of raising the standard of living of all citizens is common to all. In Rhodesia, our economic philosophy favours the private enterprise, capitalistic system as against the centrally planned and controlled economy of socialism or communism. We believe that the greatest level of efficiency in production and distribution is achieved by free entrepreneurs who are motivated by the desire for profit. We do not attempt to plan the future course of the economy in more than broad outline because we believe that the alert merchant or industrialist will react more quickly to changing circumstances than any central planning machine and will extract the maximum benefit therefrom. Human nature being what it is, it is not practicable for Government merely to foster the conditions in which private enterprise can best operate and then keep out of the way; completely laissez-faire capitalism is a century or so out of date; and some degree of Governmental control is today accepted everywhere as necessary, but our tendency is to control as little as possible and to remove these controls if the need for them has passed.

The stubborn weakness of growth in the industrial countries since the mid-seventies is a manifestation of a serious crisis of stabilisation and adjustment whose roots go far beyond the oil price increases. Against this background there was a marked turn in the direction of economic policy as a result of changes of government in 1979 in the United Kingdom and in 1981 in the USA and France. The programmes to stimulate economic growth were based on the supply-side concept in the UK and the USA but on the demand concept in France. Our article assesses the measures actually taken and the policy accent in the three countries against the background of previous economic developments and the prevailing political and institutional circumstances.

Austria's economic progress during the last twenty years has been most impressive, comparing favourably with other industrialised countries. Major credit is ascribed to the social partnership between labour and management, which extends to all areas of social and economic concern. Its most significant manifestation has been the adoption, in 1957, of an incomes policy, of voluntary wage and price restraint. The results have been: significant improvements in the standards of living; full employment; modest inflation; and an enviable record of industrial peace. The social partnership is supported by an understanding with the government, which allows the two major interest groups considerable freedom to carry out their commitments to wage and price restraint.

The Norwegian industrial relations system is marked by close co-operation between the state, the employers and the unions and by the high degree of institutionalization of labour relations in general and conflict resolution in particulilr. This co-operation arises partly from industrialisation at a time when democratic attitudes and processes were already established and from the need for national unity in the post-war reconstruction. This co-operation and institutionalization is illustrated by the highly centralised trade union movement and in the formal aspects of the bargaining and conflict resolution system such as the Labour Court and the committees and other bodies associated with the incomes policy and tripartite bargaining system.

The Republic of Ireland and New Zealand are alike in many respects. They have similar-sized populations and similar climates; agriculture has an unusual prominence in their national economies and industrial development is strongly encouraged. In addition, both were once British colonies and have similar legal and political systems with English as their majority language. Despite these, and many other similarities, the two countries have markedly different industrial relations systems. In contrast to New Zealand's state-regulated system, the Irish system is notably voluntaristic, multi-unionism is the norm and Irish unions compete for membership with British-based unions. There are many other differences and this paper highlights the main aspects of the Irish system, covering the collective bargaining system, the union and employer organisations, legislation, Ireland's experience with national pay agreements, participation in management, picketing policy, union restructuring and public sector industrial relations.
