Labour law is in crisis. Global economic factors and the changing contours of work and workplace relations have led to a reorientation of the social, economic, political and cultural environment within which labour law has developed. This is not a jurisdictional problem but rather is deeply entrenched in transnational development. Solutions must recognise and mobilise the transformational shift that has taken place over recent decades. Law should be viewed as a force for and a facilitator of change, capable of expressing and determining social relations. The essays in this book explore the challenges posed by labour law's potential reinvention as a discipline fit for accommodating and investigating such change within a range of different but connected jurisdictional and regulatory concepts and paradigms.
Contributions from eminent scholars in law and related disciplines from a wide range of different jurisdictions Will appeal to a wide international readership, with original chapters on underexamined areas including the Commonwealth Caribbean, South Africa and Asia The subject matter is timely given the labour law discipline's crisis and the need for new regulation
