Description:

The World Trade Organization's (WTO) rejection of proposals for the inclusion of a Social Clause into its rules and regulations has prompted International Labour Organization (ILO) to examine alternative ways in which global consensus on regulation of labour standards can be developed. This book helps in understanding ILO's purpose and structure.

Synopsis:

The International Labour Organization (ILO) is broadening its agenda and carving out a role as a key player in global economic policy-making, and this volume provides a succinct and comprehensive guide to this important organization. By charting the history and development of the ILO and examining its key functions and structure the authors offer a clear and detailed account of its work, and provide an important discussion of the current criticisms and debates that surround the organization. The work moves on to discuss the position that the ILO takes in our understanding of global governance and seeks to evaluate the impact of emerging issues such as the global economic crisis, and critically examines the future direction of the organization. This fresh and accessible account of the International Labour Organization provides an excellent understanding of its purpose and structure and will be of interest to all students of international politics, international organizations and international political economy.
