Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. This edited collection examines the multi-faceted ways in which labour standards can play a role in the achievement of development. A variety of critical perspectives are presented here, with contributions from a number of different disciplines, including law, politics, and economics. The book begins by considering potential theoretical connections between work and development, acknowledging controversy over how the latter should be approached, interpreted andrendered 'sustainable'. The remainder of the collection is devoted to an analysis of the part that protection of labour standards can play in developmental terms, with reference to concrete issues:anti-discrimination, child labour, trade relations, and social dialogue. The book concludes with a final chapter, reflecting on how theory has been and could be put into practice. The theme that transcends all the contributions to this collection is that of human agency. The authors are not merely interested in the realisation of an individual person's 'functioning' in society (which development will assist), but also with the ways that people can be engaged in the very process ofdefining what development aims should and can be. They do not wish to see economic, social and environmental development objectives as being determined by technical experts and implemented according totheir prescriptions. Rather, they consider development in procedural as well as substantive terms, and in participatory as well as material terms. This book considers the previously neglected intersection between work and development and considers how protection of labour standards may be understood in development terms. Examples are given of concrete achievement in anti-discrimination, child labour, trade relations and social dialogue. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
