Samenvatting

Bulletin of Comparative Labour Relations Series Volume 89

In this important volume, nine studies identify the complexities of protecting
labour rights in a mobile global economy by assessing the role of ILO
standards, as well as public, private, and public-private initiatives, in
countering the potentially negative impact of international trade and
investment flows on labour rights.

The editor’s powerfully summative introduction and conclusion pinpoint the
crucial issues confronting labour law in this context, highlighting the need
for policy coordination and coherence. Among the topics and issues raised in
the book are the following:

empirical studies of migrant workers employed in global supply chains;

international recruitment intermediaries;

governance through hierarchy versus governance through networks;

trade sustainable impact assessments (SIAs);

the so-called governance triangle – the state, companies, and non-governmental
organizations (NGOs);

corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives; and

the OECD’s national contact points (NCPs).

Various authors focus on such features as the difficulties of monitoring
labour conditions in a supply-chain system, the multiple forms of disadvantage
often faced by supply-chain workers, enforcement and jurisdictional
roadblocks, and pitfalls caused by prioritizing quantitative modelling at the
expense of qualitative analysis. Authors and editors both offer
recommendations on ways to not only hold multinationals responsible for the
negative externalities of their actions but also provide building blocks for
effective global supply-chain regulation.
