This book addresses the controversial call for international labor
standards, seeking to productively further this debate by
considering the economic implications and history of these
standards. A result of an initiative by Professor Kaushik Basu in
his capacity as member of the Expert Group of Development Issues
(EGDI) sponsored by the Swedish Foreign Ministry, the contributions
are based on discussions at a seminar held in Stockholm in August
2001. Compiling the best research in the field, this book provides
a solid basis for policy decisions, while also serving as a
challenging text for students in trade, development, and labor
economics.
