Research Handbook on Labour, Business and Human Rights Law


Add your own review!

Overview

Inquisitive and diverse, this innovative Research Handbook explores the ways in which human rights apply to people at work, through national constitutional provisions, judicial decisions and the application of rights expressed in supranational instruments. Analysing why certain human rights are deemed fundamental and how they apply in the context of work, this expansive Research Handbook highlights the gulf between the ideal applications of these rights universally, and the increasing reality in the new economy that these are rarely enforceable for employees in alternative forms of employment. Established and emerging scholars provide perspectives from countries across all continents, identifying issues of prominence in their area of the globe. Probing workers' rights and business obligations, the Research Handbook on Labour, Business and Human Rights Law will be imperative reading for scholars and students working within the fields of labour law, human rights, and business ethics. This timely Research Handbook will also appeal to lawyers, trade union officials and government affairs staff, broadening their understanding of the laws and obligations impacting their positions.

Reviews

`This timely collection offers a comprehensive study of the interaction between human rights and labour protection, a topic given additional impetus from the impact of economic globalisation on labour creating the need to find new ways for protecting the rights and conditions of increasingly precarious workers worldwide. Including an extensive range of country-based studies, covering all the major legal families, international developments and thought-provoking analytical papers, this book provides a critically balanced and highly informative contribution to the topic.' -- Peter Muchlinski, SOAS, University of London, UK `Labour law and human rights law often follow separate paths and academics rarely engage with one another notwithstanding that the two fields are highly interrelated. This excellent edited volume bridges this gap and makes an important contribution to current debates on the intersection between labour law and human rights law. This is especially important in a world witnessing crucial transformations in the world of work. It is a must read for all scholars involved in research on labour rights.' -- Axel Marx, University of Leuven, Belgium
