‘International Labor Standards is an extremely
valuable and wide-ranging introduction to current debates over
labor standards. The book gives a detailed history of standards; a
broad and even-handed view of economic arguments for and against
standards; and serious discussion of the problem of child labor.
[It] concludes with an intriguing analysis of the potential role of
the World Trade Organization in helping to raise standards. In
place of the vitriole and rhetoric that the debate over standards
all too often degenerates into, this volume is a serious
investigation of what we know and do not know in this area.’
Richard Freeman, London School of Economics
‘This impressive book brings together some of the best research on the important and controversial topic of international labor standards. The contributions are illuminating and provocative, and they provide a valuable scientific foundation for policy debates.’ Kyle Bagwell, Columbia University
