Overview

In this book, leading international thinkers take up the demanding challenge to rethink our understanding of social justice at work and our means for achieving it – at a time when global forces are tearing the familiar fabric of our working lives and the laws regulating them. When fabric is torn we can see deeply into it, understand its structural weaknesses, and imagine alterations in the name of resilience and sustainability. Seizing that opportunity, the authoritative commentators examine the lessons revealed by the pandemic and other global shocks for our ideas about justice at work, and how to advance that cause in the world as we now find it. The chapters deliver critical re-assessments of our goals, explore our new challenges, and creatively re-imagine trajectories for progress on two global fronts - via international institutions and by a myriad of other transnational techniques. These forward-looking essays are in honour of Francis Maupain, whose international career and scholarly writing are inspiring models for those who, in a changing world, seize opportunities for creativity in the pursuit of global justice at work.

Reviews

This is an outstanding book... The realization of the enormity and urgency of the challenge of applying social justice may be overwhelming but, in a testament to its value, the book allows the reader to feel some optimism that reforms may be possible and realistic. * International Labour Review * By means of thirty-one succinct chapters the volume provides valuable contemporary insights and a wealth of information. It is very worthy of the remarkable individual [Francis Maupain] whom it wishes to honour. * International Organizations Law Review *
