Course Summary
This course aims to provide an understanding of the barriers to decent work and protected labour standards in the global and European economy. Empirically, it examines the wider political economy of neo-liberalism, especially in the context of post-communist societies. These broader changes are in turn linked to the issue of migration, as labour from Eastern Europe has migrated to the core European Union older member states bringing different experiences and assumptions regarding labour standards and industrial relations.
