Among the topics and issues raised in the book are the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e empirical studies of migrant workers employed in global supply chains; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e international recruitment intermediaries; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e governance through hierarchy versus governance through networks; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e trade sustainable impact assessments (SIAs); \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e the so-called governance triangle - the state, companies, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs); \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives; and \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e the OECD's national contact points (NCPs). \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e Various authors focus on such features as the difficulties of monitoring labour conditions in a supply-chain system, the multiple forms of disadvantage often faced by supply-chain workers, enforcement and jurisdictional roadblocks, and pitfalls caused by prioritizing quantitative modelling at the expense of qualitative analysis. Authors and editors both offer recommendations on ways to not only hold multinationals responsible for the negative externalities of their actions but also provide building blocks for effective global supply-chain regulation. \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Blanpain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9041156623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789041156624\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 11\/18\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Roger Blanpain","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47424633635071,"sku":"9789041156624","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f26ec5a0-13e8-4942-87b5-cba60701317b.jpg?v=1761531521","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/protecting-labour-rights-in-a-roger-blanpain-9789041156624","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
