If labour law is informed by the wider political and economic landscape within which it operates, then given the declining prevalence of the post-war model of full employment within a formal welfare state regime, what shape does or should labour law assume in response to the transformation of the political economy in countries of the global North? Correspondingly, what is the proper role to be played by labour law and labour relations institutions in the development process within industrialising countries of the global South, where informal employment has long been, and remains, the predominant form? Drawing on the expertise of leading labour law scholars, this collection addresses those questions by examining the growth and continued prevalence of informality. Offering research that is both empirically grounded and doctrinally astute, the book explores the changing character of labour law in the global North and South.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction: Narratives of Informality and Development \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eDiamond Ashiagbor\u003c\/b\u003e   PART I THEORISING INFORMALITY AND INFORMALISATION: HISTORICAL AND DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVES 1. \u003ci\u003eHistoricising Labour in Development: Labour Market Formalisation through the Lens of British Colonial Administration \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eKerry Rittich\u003c\/b\u003e 2. \u003ci\u003eLabour Law, Development Discourse and the Uses of Informality \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eLiam McHugh-Russell\u003c\/b\u003e 3. \u003ci\u003eInformalisation in International Labour Regulation Policy: Profiles of an Unravelling \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eDeirdre McCann\u003c\/b\u003e   PART II INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES: HISTORICAL, INSTITUTIONAL AND POLITICAL ECONOMY 4. \u003ci\u003eDo Human Rights Work for Informal Workers? \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eSupriya Routh\u003c\/b\u003e 5. \u003ci\u003eLabour Law as a Luxury in the Global South?
