Download or read book Stitching Governance for Labour Rights written by Juliane Reinecke and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transnational labour governance is in urgent need of a new paradigm of democratic participation, with those who are most affected - typically workers - placed at the centre. To achieve this, principles of industrial democracy and transnational governance must come together to inform institutions within global supply chains. This book traces the development of 'transnational industrial democracy', using responses to the 2013 Rana Plaza disaster as the empirical context. A particular focus is placed on the Bangladesh Accord and the JETI Workplace Social Dialogue programme. Drawing on longitudinal field research from 2013–2020, the authors argue that the reality of modern-day supply chain capitalism has neither optimal institutional frameworks nor effective structures of industrial relations. Informed by principles of industrial democracy, the book aims at enhancing emerging forms of private transnational governance as second-best institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories and images of collapsed factories, burned down sweatshops, imprisoned migrant workers, child workers and many other violations of internationally recognized labour rights continue to spread across the globe. This highly topical book examines the different instruments which are intended to protect labour rights on a transnational scale, and asks whether they make a difference. With perspectives from law, management, sociology, political science and political economy, the topics discussed include the protection of international labour rights in a globalizing economy, the EU’s social dimension in its external trade relations, Asian and US perspectives on labour rights in international trade agreements, the role of (trade) unions in global labour governance and the transformative capacity of private labour governance regimes. Academics and advanced students from different disciplines will benefit from the up-to-date empirical material in this study. Policymakers, NGOs and Unions will find the discussions of the instruments used to protect labour rights of great value to their work.

Book Synopsis Labour Law and Worker Protection in Developing Countries by : Tzehainesh Teklè
Download or read book Labour Law and Worker Protection in Developing Countries written by Tzehainesh Teklè and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important new study shifts the focus of scholarly and policy debates on the role of labour law in an era of globalization away from the countries and labour law systems of the North to those of the global South. Placing its analysis within the context of the current scholarly debates on the challenges and future of labour law, the book critically reviews the relevant literature and reflects upon the way in which workers' protection tends to be conceptualized, as well as on the adequacy of the legal categories and tools used to further it, with special attention given to the effectiveness of labour legislation in promoting gender equality. The book argues that, in addition to problems in the application of labour law, there is a mismatch between the realities of the developing world and the social, economic and political underpinnings of labour law. This dates back to its development in post-colonial African and South Asian countries and, to a lesser extent, in Latin American ones. The divergence persists, while new manifestations have appeared due to globalization, leaving a significant number of workers outside the scope of labour law and in need of protection. Against this background, the book explores regulatory and policy response at different governance levels to enhance the scope and application of labour regulation in Latin America, South Asia and southern Africa.

Book Synopsis Protecting Labour Rights in a Multi-polar Supply Chain and Mobile Global Economy by : Laura Beke
Download or read book Protecting Labour Rights in a Multi-polar Supply Chain and Mobile Global Economy written by Laura Beke and published by Kluwer Law International. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owing to a marked decline in global transaction costs, firms increasingly outsource the various production lines within their production process to different parts of the world. In doing so, firms are not only able to introduce more flexibility into their production chain, but may also operate on a more cost-effective basis. As a result, both the production of goods and the provision of services have increasingly been geared towards a supply-chained global economy, in which firms and workers from different parts of the world are interconnected with one another through a multitude of supply- or value chains. At the same time, however, firms have also inadvertently contributed to an increasingly fragmented production process, with notable impacts on the working conditions of those involved in the more labour-intensive mechanics of the supply chain. Notwithstanding the existence of a significant international apparatus to foster labour rights in the global economy, enforcement gaps remain and labour rights violations continue to be endemic in many parts of the world.

Book Synopsis The Evolution of a Global Labour Governance Regime by : Anke Hassel
Download or read book The Evolution of a Global Labour Governance Regime written by Anke Hassel and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade, the approach by business and governments towards labour and social issues at the global level has fundamentally changed. Industrial relations are rapidly internationalizing by developing new actors and forms of governance to deal with the regulation of labour. This paper looks at the evolution of self-regulatory standards in the global labour governance debate. Key is that notwithstanding problems with the lacking legal framework of global regulation and enforceability, patterns of local self-regulation, norm-setting and international codes lead not only to higher expectations of the behaviour of trans-nationally operating firms but also to an indirect pattern of regulation. The paper argues that particularly the adoption of the Core Labour Standards by the ILO and the set up of the Global Compact by the UN serve as points of convergence. A plethora of voluntarist initiatives that converge over time towards a shared understanding of labour standards is part of the transformation of global labour governance institutions.

Book Synopsis Corporate Social Responsibility in India by : Bidyut Chakrabarty
Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility in India written by Bidyut Chakrabarty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-29 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting an analysis of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in India, this book looks at the unique roots of the concept in India. It examines Gandhi’s philosophical moorings that inform India’s approach to CSR, and the role of civil society in setting an agenda for championing the rights of the stakeholders. The book goes on to focus on the role of the government in grooming the Indian business to be sensitive of its social concerns. Drawing on rich empirical data, the book shows that CSR in India cannot be conceptualized in ethnocentric terms. Arguing that it is not about ‘the typical Indianness’ of the articulation, it emphasizes the point that CSR in India needs to be conceptualized in a wider perspective by taking into account its philosophical roots with reference to the prevalent socio-economic and political context. The book is a valuable contribution to the literature on CSR, and is of interest to scholars of Asian Studies, business and development studies.

Book Synopsis Entrepreneurs and Democracy by : Pierre-Yves Gomez
Download or read book Entrepreneurs and Democracy written by Pierre-Yves Gomez and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What legitimizes power within a corporation? This question is of concern to the millions of citizens whose lives depend upon the fate of business corporations. The rules, institutions and practices of corporate governance define the limits of the power to direct, and determine under what conditions this power is acceptable. Effective corporate governance has long been defined in terms of economic performance. More recent studies have focused on philosophical, political and historical analyses. Entrepreneurs and Democracy unites these strands of inquiry - the legitimacy of power, the evolution of multiple forms of governance and the economics of performance - and proposes a framework for future study. It explores the opposing tensions of entrepreneurial force and social fragmentation that form the basis of legitimate corporate governance in modern societies. In doing so, it identifies a common logic that links both the democratization of corporate governance and the growth of economic performance.
