Labor Rights and Multinational Production Paperback / softback
by Layna (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) Mosley
Part of the Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics series
Paperback / softback
Description
Labor Rights and Multinational Production investigates the relationship between workers' rights and multinational production.
Mosley argues that some types of multinational production, embodied in directly owned foreign investment, positively affect labor rights.
But other types of international production, particularly subcontracting, can engender competitive races to the bottom in labor rights.
To test these claims, Mosley presents newly generated measures of collective labor rights, covering a wide range of low- and middle-income nations for the 1985–2002 period.
Labor Rights and Multinational Production 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.
