Global Employment Relations

Catalog description

This course has two basic objectives: to familiarize students with different employment relations systems in advanced industrial economies in North America, Europe, and Asia; and to introduce students to labor problems associated with a global economy (e.g., sweatshops, child labor, slavery and other coercive labor systems) and to proposed approaches to redressing these problems (e.g., transnational institutions like the ILO, trade agreements, voluntary codes of conduct, labor unions).
