US and EU External Labor Governance

The book offers a comprehensive analysis of the socio-political impact of US and EU trade policies on labor standards in Mexico, Morocco, and the Dominican Republic. Through examining various trade agreements and extensive field research, it highlights the balance between punitive measures and cooperative mechanisms in promoting labor norms. The findings indicate that cooperative approaches are favored despite differing power dynamics. This work is particularly relevant for students and scholars in international relations, trade, and labor studies, as well as practitioners in labor standards advocacy.
