Sommario/riassunto

The explosive rise of export manufacturing in East Asia and the continuing importance of Central America and Mexico in this regard have shifted the center of gravity of world manufacturing from the North Atlantic to the Pacific Rim. This volume of original essays considers how the International Labour Organization has helped generate a set of ideas and practices, past and present, transnational and within a single nation, aimed at advancing social and economic reform in this vast region.
