This book provides a set of proposals for how best to guarantee
effective enforcement of labour rights worldwide. The linkage
between labour standards and global trade has been recurrent for
some 200 years. At a time when the world is struggling to find a
way out of crisis and is striving for economic growth, more than
ever there is a need for up-to-date research on how to protect and
promote labour rights in the global economy. This book explores the
history of the field and also provides an overview of emerging
trends and opportunities. It discusses the most recent problems
including: the effectiveness and the role of the International
Labour Organization (ILO) in the second century of its existence,
the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its potential relevance in
the protection of labour rights, the effectiveness of the US and
the EU Generalised System of Preferences, the impact of corporate
social responsibility (CSR) instruments on labour rights, and
labour provisions in the international trade agreements concluded
by the US and the EU. The book argues, inter alia, that trade
agreements seem to be a useful tool to help pave the way out of the
crisis and that the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)
can be perceived as a model agreement and a symbol of a shift in
perspective from long global supply chains to a focus on regional
ones, local production, jobs and a rise in wages. The book will be
essential reading for academics and students in the fields of human
rights law, international labour law, industrial relations law,
international sustainable development law, international economic
law and international trade law. It will also be of interest to
practitioners, non-government organisations (NGOs) and policy
makers.
