However, in employment regulation in recent years, 'flexibility' has come to dominate the world of work - a set of policies that reshuffle the relationship among the fundamental pillars of labour law and inevitably lead to degrading the protection of employees. This book, the first-ever to consider the sources of labour law from a comparative perspective, details the ways in which the traditional hierarchy of sources has been altered, presenting an international view on major cross-cutting issues followed by fifteen country reports.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors' analysis of the changing hierarchy of labour law sources in the light of recent trends includes such elements as the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe constitutional dimension of labour rights;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe normative intervention by the State;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe regulatory function of collective bargaining and agreements;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe hierarchical organization of labour law sources and the 'principle of favour';\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe role played by case law in both common law and civil law countries;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe impact of the European Economic Governance;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edecentralization of collective bargaining;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eemployment conditions as key components of global competitive strategies;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003estatutory schemes that allow employees to sign away their rights.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eNational reports - Australia, Brazil, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States - describe the structure of labour law regulations in each legal system with emphasis on the current state of affairs.
