Considering the persistent violation of labour rights, questions arise as to the effectiveness of policy instruments regarding the governance of global labour standards. My colleague Markus Helfen and I, together with Thomas Haipeter, Sophie Rosenbohm and Christine Üyük from the University of Duisburg-Essen, have adopted an industrial relations perspective to compare three broad categories of policy instruments: state-centred regulation, employer-centred regulation, and transnational industrial relations agreements. Read about our findings in our new publication: Haipeter, Thomas, Helfen, Markus, Kirsch, Anja, Rosenbohm, Sophie & Üyük, Christine (2021) Industrial relations at centre stage: Efficiency, equity and voice in the governance of global labour standards. Industrielle Beziehungen 28(2): 148-171.
