This comprehensive Handbook explores the complex and volatile
debate over globalisation and labour standards. It offers key
insights into the impact of globalisation on workers, the
obligations of corporations and international legal bodies in
protecting workers' rights and maximising the opportunities offered
by international trade and investment. Multidisciplinary
contributions illustrate the benefits and drawbacks of
globalisation for labour standards, demonstrating the limitations
of recent initiatives to improve working conditions. The chapters
pay close attention to the buying practices of multinational
corporations at the top of global value chains, the priorities of
which too often diverge from the codes of corporate social
responsibility, as well as the inadequate actions of national
governments in enforcing labour standards, including through trade
agreements and sanctions. Offering an impressive overview of the
key actors in the protection of workers' rights, the Handbook
provides an essential reference point and research agenda for
scholars and researchers of global economics and labour policy,
highlighting crucial gaps in the field that are in need of further
study. Its practical, empirical insights will also benefit
practitioners and policy-makers working in human rights and labour
advocacy, as well as trade specialists and political and economic
commentators.
