Su questo libro

Recensione

"In excellent case studies of the Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia, the author treats postcolonial paternalistic labor policies as a healthy form of `enforceable benevolence.' His study will contribute to greater appreciation of Asian values for a select audience of academics." Choice

"...a particularly compelling illustration of the hybrid origins and diverse multiplicity of contemporary Asian modernities." Pacific Affairs

"The major strength of Woodiwiss's Globalisation, Human Rights and Labour Law in Pacific Asia is his sociologically informed analysis of labor law regimes in the Philippines, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore." Braham Dabscheck, Comparative Labor Law & Policy Journal

Descrizione del libro

This substantive contribution to a sociology of human rights shows how Asian values are compatible with human rights, demonstrating how the global human rights regime can accommodate Asian patriarchalism, while Pacific Asia is itself adapting by means of an 'enforceable benevolence'.
