Yet on a global level such balanced development has not occurred, despite the existence of a rigorous body of \u003cstrong\u003einternational labour law \u003c\/strong\u003ethat has been active and growing for almost one hundred years. The implementation of this law devolves upon states; yet many states have failed to honour it. If we are to take serious steps toward a remedy for this situation, there is no better place to start than a thorough, well-researched survey and analysis of existing international labour law - its sources, its content, its historical development, and an informed consideration of the barriers to its full effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is exactly such a resource. It provides in-depth interpretation of the crucial \u003cstrong\u003eInternational Labour Organisation (ILO)\u003c\/strong\u003e instruments - Constitution, conventions, declarations, resolutions, and recommendations - as well as such other sources of law as the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and various model and actual corporate codes of conduct.

The book's combination of detailed commentary and an overarching social policy will make it especially valuable to legislators, human resources managers, employers  organizations, trade unions, jurists, and academics concerned with the role of work in our globalized social system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis fifth edition of the book by Jean-Michel Servais analyses the potential of those standards in a globalized world, and the necessary evolution. It examines the actual implementation of those rules in the national context, comparing different experiences. It integrates the latest instruments. It examines the most recent public debates on labour regulation (dealing with health and security at work, personal data, minimum wages, social security, strikes, etc.), updates the bibliography and opens some perspectives for the future work of the global institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Michel Servais\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9041189092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789041189097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kluwer Law International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Jean-Michel Servais","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44129720893695,"sku":"9789041189097","price":123.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8fae760a-476f-47ec-9edf-5d01416db9ac.jpg?v=1687465441","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/international-labour-law-jean-michel-servais-9789041189097","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
