As long as wages, social security, and taxes remain national matters, states compete at this level in order to attract foreign investment. This does not bode well for employees or the self-employed. Most ameliorative measures come in the form of unenforceable and#8216;soft lawand#8217; guidelines and recommendations. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The conference recorded in this vitally important book confronts this losing battle of local responses to global challenges. The book reprints the papers submitted to that conference by twenty-three outstanding scholars from fourteen countries. Among the many critical issues they expose and discuss are the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e and#8226; the proliferation of varieties of non-standard employment; \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e and#8226; protection of migrant workersand#8217; rights by regional organizations; \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e and#8226; global and regional trends in the human resources function; \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e and#8226; work training and education policy; \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e and#8226; effectiveness of equality and non-discrimination standards; \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e and#8226; involvement of employees in workplace decisionmaking; and \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e and#8226; the need for an equitable social safety net. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In the course of the discussion the authors examine cases from many countries, including not only EU Member States (both West and East) and the U.S., but also Japan, Chile, South Africa, and Indonesia. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e With a focus on the nexus of multinational enterprises and international standards, the book provides both a sharp image of where labour law stands in todayand#8217;s worldand#8212;revealing serious social problems in a clearer light than is usually encounteredand#8212;and a very valuable guide to directions to pursue and potential solutions, offered by some of the most engaged and committed minds in the field.
