'This monograph provides a timely and sophisticated contribution to scholarship on comparative labour law, examining the evolutionary trajectories of dismissal protection in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Its arguments are engaging, rigorous and perceptive. It will be widely read and influential in the field.' Professor Alan L Bogg, University of Oxford, UK 'Rethinking Job Security: A Comparative Analysis of Unfair Dismissal Law in the UK, Australia and the USA makes an important contribution to understanding the operation and effect of the legal rules regarding job security. The careful comparison of the legal regimes in three common law jurisdictions with advanced economies goes beyond existing stylised accounts to offer a much more nuanced and sophisticated analysis of how laws relating to job security work in practice. Blending theoretical, legal, comparative and empirical analysis, Joanna Howe asks hard questions about whether the legal rules regulating job security promote the fair treatment of working people in the context of dismissal.' Professor Judy Fudge, University of Kent, UK
