Abstract
This paper examines the emergence of a distinct theoretical tradition in Industrial Relations, as represented by John T. Dunlop's theory of industrial relations systems. The author critically appraises the debate engendered by Dunlop's theory and argues that the theory's many 'rehabilitators' have failed to provide a cogent reformulation. The author concludes that Dunlop's 'industrial relations system' is of little theoretical utility. However, he also suggests that what he calls the 'forgotten theory' in Dunlop's Industrial Relations Systemns may well turn out to be of greater significance than that part of his thought which has received major attention.
