This fourth edition of the Fundamentals of International Labour Law is conceived as a new and up-to-date manual for university students in this discipline. It integrates the recent international standards, the Declaration on the future of work, and the forthcoming Global Coalition for Social Justice. It provides a comprehensive review of the evolution and trends of international labour law. The volume offers a brief presentation of the ILO’s standards policy as well as a new reading of the present challenges that labour law faces at the international level, and gives an overview of the main tools and policies for its best implementation at country level. Today, in different parts of the world there is increasing difficulty in the application of international labour standards, and this is mainly due to inadequacies and gaps in the national and regional legal frameworks. The volume presents the ways in which the scope of international labour law applies to the various topics and issues. At the same time, it provides the students with terms, notions, definitions, law and practice in the various regions of the world.

As social, economic and environmental challenges increase, the path leading to development and sustainability is seriously jeopardised and the implementation of avant-garde tools and practices urges. This volume aims to shed light on the transition that our society has been passing through and how we can drive this transition towards what we value. It is precisely in these transitional phases that the answers we are looking for come to surface: this is the case of social innovation. This relatively recent concept over the last years gained increasing relevance and interest. This volume explores the complexity and the criticality of both the notions of social innovation and sustainable development through the lenses of an analytical investigation of their meanings and nuances and examines their processes and practices. This volume clearly frames these notions and emphasises the peculiarities and the qualities that foster a nurturing relationship between social innovation and sustainable development.

Reflexiones sobre el derecho del trabajo en la época de la crisis de Covid-19

by Gianni Arrigo, Giuseppe Casale, Mario Fasani, Humberto Villasmil Prieto

In this volume, the authors deal with a number of labour law issues relating to the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the world of work, which is deeply different from all previous crises. This diversity lies in its origin and its impact on health in the world of work. Its economic and social impact is also different: the solutions adopted in previous crises do not offer viable solutions in this post-Covid-19 crisis. This determines a rethinking of work organisation (and its rules) and of the way of producing and rethinking of the founding values of the societal community.
