Edward Elgar Publishing Global Governance of Labour Rights - Edward Elgar Publishing

As reports of factory collapses, sweatshop violations, and migrant worker rights abuses spread globally, the need to understand international protections becomes urgent. This book from the Leuven Global Governance series provides a deep examination of the various instruments designed to protect labour rights on a transnational scale. Instead of looking at a single viewpoint, this work brings together perspectives from law, management, sociology, political science, and political economy. It investigates whether current public and private policy initiatives actually make a difference in a globalizing economy. Readers will gain insight into the effectiveness of these transnational tools and how they impact the protection of international labour rights. This text is an essential resource for anyone studying the social dimension of the European Union or the complexities of global economic policy. It offers a clear assessment of how policy initiatives function in practice to address real-world labour violations across the globe.
