Overview

To what extent is labour law an autonomous field of study? This book is based upon the papers written by a group of leading international scholars on this theme, delivered at a conference to mark Professor Mark Freedland’s retirement from his teaching fellowship in Oxford. The chapters explore the boundaries and connections between labour law and other legal disciplines such as company law, competition law, contract law and public law; labour law and legal methodologies such as reflexive governance and comparative law; and labour law and other disciplines such as ethics, economics and political philosophy. In so doing, it represents a cross-section of the most sophisticated current work at the cutting edge of labour law theory.

Reviews

...an important and extremely readable contribution to current debates regarding the idea of labour law, and an affectionate and fitting tribute to Freedland. -- Ruth Dukes Comparative Labor Law and Policy Journal

...an important and extremely readable contribution to current debates regarding the idea of labour law, and an affectionate and fitting tribute to Freedland. -- Ruth Dukes Comparative Labor Law and Policy Journal This book not only contains excellent contributions from outstanding scholars; that is taken for granted when we speak about 'Oxford labour law'. Most valuable is the insider information that the authors provide about labour law scholars in Oxford. This insider knowledge, sometimes even jokes, make the reading of the book not only worthwhile, but highly entertaining. -- Erika Kovacs European Journal of Social Security
