Labour standards under globalization, July 14, 2007
This review is from: Can Labor Standards Improve Under Globalization? (Paperback)
This is a very useful book on labour standards and the way to improve them using international trade and globalization. Written in a simple and easy way, it also offers a comprehensive review of the recent literature on these topics.
In the first part it is discussed the role of the ILO and its tools to spread labour standards: monitoring policy, technical cooperation and enforcement or sanctions.
Furthermore, a broad overview of the ways to link labour standards to international trade and a more pragmatic approach to connect them is discussed. The general view on this issue is that globalization and labour standards are complementary factors and they could work togheter to spread benefits of globalization in a way coherent with labour rights.
I consider this book a very rich source for researchers and policymakers, intuitive and easy to read.
