Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Labour Laws and Global Trade 2005 by Bob Hepple
The focus of globalisation studies is on how global processes can be better regulated in order to deliver both economic growth and social justice. Labour laws provide an excellent case study of the creation of a new framework to reconcile free trade and investment with social objectives. This bookwritten by a leading authority on international and comparative labour law provides a thoughtful and comprehensive analysis of the new methods of transnational labour regulation that are emerging in response to globalisation. The author reassesses orthodox views from the viewpoint of a theory of comparative institutional advantage and suggests ways in which transnational regulation can be re-invented in the new global economy This will be of interest to students of law human rights industrial relations globalisation international trade and development as well as policy-makers in international and regional organisations governments employers bodies trade unions and NGOs.show more
