International Framework Agreements: A thread in the web of transnational labour regulation
本文探讨国际框架协议能否有效监管跨国劳动,认为其效果取决于与其他监管机制的相互连接,不同制度框架和行动者组合会导致不同结果。
Are International Framework Agreements potential mechanisms of cross-border labour regulation? For some scholars they are no more than ‘window-dressing’, for others they are effective instruments of transnational regulation. We argue that their effectiveness depends on their interconnection with other mechanisms of labour regulation. Drawing on a broad review of research and our own empirical data, we conclude that different institutional frameworks, different dominant actor groups and configurations, and also different modes of regulation and bargaining, lead to varying and sometimes contrasting outcomes.
