The Modernisation of Labour Law and Industrial Relations in a Comparative Perspective
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Not all scholars of labour law and industrial relations agree on the efficacy of the comparative approach - that the analysis of measures adopted in other countries can play a constructive role in national and local policy-making. However, the case deserves to be heard, and no better such presentation has appeared than this remarkable book, the carefully considered work of over 40 well-known authorities in the fi eld from a wide variety of countries as farflung as France, Israel, Australia, India, Peru, Poland, and South Africa. The volume includes papers delivered at a conference sponsored by the Marco Biagi Foundation at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in March 2008. The essays cast light on how various jurisdictions are dealing with such unsettled (and unsettling) issues of employment in a globalized world as the following: - competing paradigms in international business theory; - major business site selection; - atypical employment contracts; - risks for employment posed by operations on the fi nancial markets; - workfare/fl exicurity programmes; - the fear of social dumping; - legitimization of employee representatives' cooperation at transnational level; - the 'rights' rhetoric of the neo-liberal agenda; - workplace level evidence of outsourcing consequences; - social security protection and the informal economy; and - occupational health. In addition, national experts present reports on specifi c developments in Spain, Hungary, Lithuania, Estonia, Russia, Israel, Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada, Chile, and Venezuela. In its detailed investigation of labour and employment issues far beyond the confines of the nation-state, this book stands alone. The range and depth of the studies relating to the protection of workers' rights, and the great variety of countries represented in geographical, linguistic, and political terms, make this book of far-reaching value to labour law and industrial relations specialists worldwide.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
