Reviews for The Role of Labour Standards in Development. From Theory to Sustainable Practice.
The multi-disciplinary nature of the book, as well as the practical approach taken by many of the authors, is to be commended... While the essays in this book depart from a common basis, they move in different directions and cover a wide variety of topics and approaches.
