Transnational Labour Law

It can no longer be denied that the centre of gravity in labour relations worldwide has shifted from governments to multinational companies and financial institutions. Accordingly, in contrast to traditional -international law --, which focuses on relations among nations and how they apply international conventions, a new approach is required: one of -transnational law --, which implies a horizontal perspective across world institutions, revealing new formulas of private regulation of economic and production relations. Nowhere is this perspective more important than in the applications of labour law.
