Reviews

The great strength of [Moran's] book is its large quantity of solid, detailed, and up-to-date empirical evidence... 'Beyond Sweatshops' should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in the reality rather than the rhetoric of globalization. --Guy Pfeffermann, Chief Economist and Director of Econ. Dep., IFC, Finance & Development, 12/1/2002 The book is really quite good. Moran's style is clear, precise, and extraordinarily well researched and well organized... [Moran's] style, reminiscent of a well-written judicial decision, allows the reader to feel as though he or she is part of an objective, fact-finding mission with no preconceived answers... eminently readable, clear, and... interesting. --Alex Robbins, Stanford University, Stanford Journal of International Relations, 1/1/2003 Well written and thought-provoking, Theodore Moran's Beyond Sweatshops offers a comprehensive introduction to critical issues of labor standards in global commerce, especially in connection with foreign direct investment (FDI). Beyond Sweatshops is an important contribution to labor rights literature. --Carol Pier, Labor Rights and Trade Researcher, Human Rights Watch, Industrial and Labor Relations Review
