The editors' substantive introduction and the specially
commissioned chapters in this Handbook explore the emergence of
transnational labour law and its contested contours by juxtaposing
the expansion of traditional legal methods with the proliferation
of contemporary alternatives such as indicators, framework
agreements and consumer-led initiatives. Key international (ILO,
IMF, OECD) and regional (EU, IACHR, SADC) institutions are studied
for their coverage of such classic topics as freedom of
association, equality, and sectoral labour standard-setting, as
well as for the space they provide for dialogue. The volume
underscores transnational labour law's capacity to build hard and
soft law bridges to migration, climate change and development. The
volume roots transnational labour law in a counter-hegemonic
struggle for social justice. Bringing together the scholarship of
41 experts from around the globe, this book encompasses and goes
beyond the role of international and regional organizations in
relation to labour standards and their enforcement, providing new
insights into debates around freedom of association, equality and
the elimination of forced labour and child labour. By including the
influence of consumers in supply chains alongside the more
traditional actors in this field such as trade unions, it combines
a range of perspectives both theoretical and contextual. Several
chapters interrogate whether transnational labour law can challenge
domestic labour law's traditional exclusions through expansive
approaches to equality. The volume moves beyond WTO linkage debates
of the past to consider emerging developments toward social
regionalism. Several chapters explore and challenge public and
private international aspects of transnational labour law,
revealing some fragmentation alongside dynamic experimentation and
normative settling. The book argues that 'social justice' is at
least as important to the project of transnational labour law today
as it was to the establishment of international labour law.
Academics, students and practitioners in the fields of labour law,
international law, human rights, political science, transnational
studies, and corporate social responsibility, will benefit from
this critical resource, given the book s eye-opening examination of
labour governance in the contemporary economy. Contributors: Z.
