The New Foundations of Labour Law

This book explores the challenges of globalisation and digitalisation to labour law and social security under three headings. The first, -The changing foundations of labour law- focuses on the law itself. Here the authors discuss how a changing political setting influences the very foundations of contemporary labour law. The contributions in the second section, -Precarious work - the new normative model?-, deal with the challenges that various new business models put to regulating working life and social welfare. The contributions in the final section, -New forms of labour mobility-, treat the difficulties related to the protection of workers who move over borders between countries and continents. The book is a contribution to the ongoing debate on the future of labour law.
