Exploring the contentious relationship between trade and labour,
this book looks at the impact of the EU's 'new generation' free
trade agreements on workers. Drawing upon extensive original
research, including over 200 interviews with key actors across the
EU and its trading partners, it considers the effectiveness of the
trade-labour linkage in an era of global value chains. The EU
believes trade can work for all, claiming that labour provisions in
its free trade agreements ensure that economic growth and high
labour standards go hand-in-hand. Yet whether these actually make a
difference to workers is strongly contested. This book explains why
labour provisions have been profoundly limited in the EU's
agreements with the CARIFORUM group, South Korea and Moldova. It
also shows how the provisions were mismatched with the most
pressing workplace concerns in the key export industries of sugar,
automobiles and clothing, and how these concerns were exacerbated
by the agreements' commercial provisions. This pioneering approach
to studying the trade-labour linkage provides insights into key
debates on the role of civil society in trade governance, the
relationship between public and private labour regulation, and the
progressive possibilities for trade policy in the twenty-first
century. This book will appeal to research scholars, post-graduate
students, trade policy practitioners, policy researchers allied to
labour movements, and informed activists.

In the endless debate about the Two Cultures no book until this
attempted to provide a selection of scientific writing on specific
themes to stimulate students of arts subjects into discussion and
writing about the nature of science and its relationship with the
rest of life. This book is based on a selection of prose passages
written by scientists about science, supplemented by notes and a
brief linking commentary. Originally published in 1965, the
passages were chosen to illustrate or comment on different aspects
of eleven main themes, ranging from surveys of changing ideas on
the nature of the universe and the material of which it was made,
to evolution past and future and the relation of science with
religion and art. Most of the extracts were from contemporary
authors, but there are passages by Aristotle, Bacon, Boyle, Hooke,
Newton, Dalton, Faraday and Darwin. At the end of the book there
are suggestions for discussion to accompany each chapter, to
encourage the study of the use of language in consideration of the
nature, history and role of science.

The law of the sea is an important area of international law which
must be able to adapt to the changing needs of the international
community. Making the Law of the Sea examines how various
international organizations have contributed to the development of
this law and what kinds of instruments and law-making techniques
have been used. Each chapter considers a different international
institution - including the International Maritime Organization and
the United Nations - and analyses its functions and powers.
Important questions are posed about the law-making process,
including what actors are involved and what procedures are
followed. Potential problems for the development of the law of the
sea are considered and solutions are proposed. In particular, James
Harrison explores and evaluates the current methods employed by
international institutions to coordinate their law-making
activities in order to overcome fragmentation of the law-making
process.

questions that you are required to consider for A-Level Ancient
History. This textbook guides you through the use of power and
politics in the Roman Senate and Imperial court from the Late
Republic into the Principate. It considers individual ambition
against the need for change, and substantive action against image

are described and analysed, with supporting images. Helpful student
features include study questions, further reading, and boxes
