This collection brings together perspectives from industrial
relations, political economy, political theory, labour history,
sociology, gender studies and regulatory theory to build a more
inclusive theory of labour law. That is, a theory of labour law
that is more inclusive of non-traditional workers (including those
in atypical work, or from non-traditional backgrounds); more
inclusive of a variety of collective approaches to work regulation
that foster solidarity between workers; and more inclusive of
interdisciplinary and complex explanations of labour law and its
regulatory spaces. The individual chapters speak to this theme of
inclusivity in different ways and offer different suggestions for
how it might be achieved. They break down the barriers between
legal research and other fields, to promote fruitful and
integrative conversations across disciplines. In the spirit of
inclusivity and intergenerational dialogue, the book blends
contributions from early career and emerging scholars with those
from leading scholars in the field, featuring critical commentary
from senior labour law figures alongside theoretically and
empirically informed work.

The standard approach to regulating working hours rests on gendered
assumptions about how paid and unpaid work ought to be divided. In
this book, Ania Zbyszewska takes a feminist, socio-legal approach
to evaluate whether the contemporary European working time regimes
can support a more equal sharing of this work. Focusing on the
legal and political developments surrounding the EU's Working Time
Directive and the reforms of Poland's Labour Code, Zbyszewska
reveals that both regimes retain this traditional gender bias, and
suggests the reasons for its persistence. She employs a wide range
of data sources and uses the Polish case to assess the EU influence
over national policy discourse and regulation, with the broader
transnational policy trends also considered. This book combines
legal analysis with social and political science concepts to
highlight law's constitutive role and relational dimensions, and to
reflect on the relationship between discursive politics and legal
action.
