The World Trade Organization's (WTO) consistent rejection of proposals for the inclusion of a Social Clause into its existing rules and regulations has prompted the International Labour Organization (ILO) to examine alternative ways in which global consensus on the regulation of labour standards can be developed. In taking up this broader agenda, the ILO is carving out a role as a key player in the heartland of global economic policy-making. But, what position does the ILO take in our understanding of global governance? Should we be threatened with concerns over multilateralism’s struggle to address the social costs of globalization? This book aims to answer these questions and many more. This fresh and accessible account of the International Labour Organization provides the reader with an excellent understanding of its purpose and structure.
