Synopsis

This timely volume provides a selection of seminal articles that analyze and debate current key topics in the field of international labour law. In particular, the collection focuses on the central role of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in the adoption and enforcement of labour standards, as well as the normative content of ILO Conventions forming the basis for the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. Additional articles critically consider non-ILO mechanisms for enforcing labour standards and assess their effectiveness and practicality. The final group of articles reflect on the future of international labour law and how it is impacted by the ILO Declaration, the dialogue on human rights and changes in the nature of the labour market in a global economic system.

Edited by a leading authority in the field, this collection of papers, along with an original introduction by Professor Fick, will be an invaluable source of reference for academics, researchers and practitioners working on the topic of international labour law.

27 articles, dating from 1977 to 2013
