About this book

This book is the first comprehensive account of the International Labour Organization’s 100-year history. At its heart is the concept of global social policy, which encompasses not only social policy in its national and international dimensions, but also development policy, world trade, international migration and human rights. The book focuses on the ILO’s roles as a key player in debates on poverty, social justice, wealth distribution and social mobility subjects and as a global forum for addressing these issues. The study puts in perspective the manifold ways in which the ILO has helped structure these debates and has made – through its standard-setting, technical cooperation and myriad other activities – practical contributions to the world of work and to global social policy.

Reviews

Daniel Maul has written the first and only comprehensive history of the centennial ILO. It will definitely become a standard reference in all debates on the past, present and future of global labour relations. Marcel van der Linden, International Institute of Social History

„Insgesamt ist das Werk zum 100-jährigen Bestehen der ILO sehr gründlich recherchiert und eine unumgängliche Handreichung für jeden, der mehr über die ILO wissen oder auch weiter über sie forschen möchte. Maul ist es gelungen, den Forschungsstand einzufangen und dabei eine zugleich konzise sowie umsichtige Darstellung abzuliefern. Dabei schließt das Werk naturgemäß nicht nur Wissenslücken, sondern zeigt bei genauer Lektüre auch Forschungsbedarfe auf:“ Natali Stegmann, Connections, https://www.connections.clio-online.net/publicationreview/id/reb-29277 (18.06.2020)
