Labor Law and Social Security Law at the Crossroad: Focused on international labor law standards and social reforms
Abstract
This book outlines the main approaches to globalisation in six Latin American countries and ten European welfare states. While we cannot see globalization directly, its imprint is evident in the spread of foreign plants across domestic landscapes, the telecommunications and computer technologies that enable firms to produce, distribute, and market all over the world, falling trade barriers, and the fading foreign exchange restrictions.
National borders are becoming permeable to products made all around the globe and to global capital flows. Futher proof is a constant flow of illegal migrants across borders of the European Union (EU) and contracting parties of the European Economic Axea (EEA).
Thousands desperate people, mainly from outskirts of Europe and the Middle East, trying to enter the European Unions territory by any means make Europeans to pause and think.
