Description

Book Synopsis
This book provides the most thorough empirical assessment to date of the impact of international regulation on labor standards and conditions, and critically analyzes the common race-to-the-bottom view that globalization and international competition can only further degrade labor standards.

Trade Review
"[Flanagan's] essay will become the gold standard in research on labour and trade."—Canadian Journal of Sociology Online
"This book deals with a continuing national and global controversy: whether and what kinds of labor ground rules are required for the global economy. It provides a superb roadmap for tackling the workers' rights issues." —Anthony G. Freeman, Director of the International Labor Organization, Washington Office
