Reflexive Labour Law in the World Society

Reflexive Labour Law in the World Society investigates trends in labour and employment law from the perspective of modern social systems theory.It uses Niklas Luhmann's theory of the world society and Gunther Teubner's reflexive law concept for an analysis of modern employment law and industrial relations. Areas investigated include: reflexive employment protection; the reflexive regulation and deregulation of labor market policies and labour law; reflexivity in labor and employment conflict resolution; reflexive coordination and implementation of EU social and employment law; and reflexive global labor law.
