Globalization and the future of labour law / edited by John D.R. Craig and S. Michael Lynk

How are national and international labor laws responding to the challenge of globalization as it re-shapes the workplace of the world? This collection of essays by leading legal scholars and lawyers from Europe and the Americas addresses the implication of globalization for the legal regulation of the new workplace. It examines the role of international labour standards and the contribution of the International Labour Organization, and assesses the success of the European experiment with continental employment standards. it explores the prospects for hemispheric co-operation on labour standards in the Americas, and deals with the impact of international labour standards on the rights of women and migrant workers. As the nature and organization of work around the world is being decisively transformed, new regional and international institutions are emerging that may provide the platoform for new labour standards, and for protecting existing ones.
