N2 - This introduction draws together the broad themes discussed in the articles presented in this special issue, placing cross-national similarities and differences in gender, equality, and industrial relations within a broader conceptual and policy context. As a field of study, industrial relations traditionally downplays the salience of gender and other identity characteristics; however, the European policy context now firmly supports the positioning of gender and equality as key issues within the industrial relations system.
