'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
