Reviews

[a] valuable book which is worthy of a place on any labour lawyer's bookshelf. Stephen T. Hardy, Modern Law Review The strength of [this] collection is that it contains critical, interdisciplinary and international perspectives on a wide variety of topics...there is much in this book to stimulate teachers, researchers and students of a subject in transition. Bob Hepple, The Cambridge Law Journal, 2002 ... well worth reading...provides interesting insights...which will no doubt engage readers...for some time to come. Jill Murray, Australian Journal of Labour Law, 2003
