Labor Rights and Multinational Production

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mosley, Layna, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, ong>Laborong> Rights and Multinational Production investigates the relationship between workers' rights and multinational production.

But other types of international production, particularly subcontracting, can engender competitive races to the bottom in ong>laborong> rights. To test these claims, Mosley presents newly generated measures of collective ong>laborong> rights, covering a wide range of low- and middle-income nations for the period. Working Globally suggests that the consequences of economic openness for developing countries are highly dependent on foreign firms' modes of entry and, more generally, on the precise way in which each developing country engages the global economy. The book contributes to academic literature in comparative and international political economy, and to public policy debates regarding the effects of globalization. Acquista Ora
