Concerns associated with globalisation of markets, exacerbated by
the 'credit crunch', have placed pressure on many nation states to
make their labour markets more 'flexible'. In so doing, many states
have sought to reduce labour standards and to diminish the
influence of trade unions as the advocates of such standards. One
response to this development, both nationally and internationally,
has been to emphasise that workers' rights are fundamental human
rights. This collection of essays examines whether this is an
appropriate or effective strategy. The book begins by considering
the translation of human rights discourse into labour standards,
namely how theory might be put into practice. The remainder of the
book tests hypotheses posited in the first chapter and is divided
into three parts. The first part investigates, through a number of
national case studies, how, in practice, workers' rights are
treated as human rights in the domestic legal context. These ten
chapters cover African, American, Asian, European, and Pacific
countries. The second part consists of essays which analyse the
operation of regional or international systems for human rights
promotion, and their particular relevance to the treatment of
workers' rights as human rights. The final part consists of
chapters which explore regulatory alternatives to the traditional
use of human rights law. The book concludes by considering the
merits of various regulatory approaches.
