Review :
In this collection a stellar group of scholars examines the history and contemporary politics of the International Labour Organization. The articles provide a sweeping exploration of the rich potential of the ILO, and its fallibility, as well as the plight of the world's laborers. The ILO from Geneva to the Pacific Rim should be required reading for anyone seeking to understand the modern global economy.' - Julie Greene, University of Maryland, USA
