体面劳动问题研究的新进展与未来研究展望

全球化加剧了劳资关系的不平衡状态,强资本弱劳工的局面得以维护并日益加强,资方为追求利益最大化而忽视劳动者利益的事情屡屡发生。随着转型时期经济社会改革的深入推进,劳资关系问题也越来越引起人们的关注并成为社会的焦点问题之一,全面实现体面劳动成为各级政府的重要方针,企业、各类劳动组织以及劳动者都对实现体面劳动发出了强烈的呼声。金融危机后体面劳动研究有了新进展,未来体面劳动问题研究也大有可为。     

Globalisation and/or Europeanisation? The Case of Flexicurity

The relationship between globalisation and Europeanisation is conventionally studied by focusing on the domestic level. In this article we explore this relationship at the international level instead. We examine the way in which the two phenomena in the form of the ILO and the EU relate to one another. Adopting a discursive institutionalist approach and focusing on flexicurity, we investigate whether, how and under what conditions the discourse on flexicurity provides a point of convergence or divergence between globalisation and Europeanisation. Our empirical data reveals attempts by the European Commission to use globalisation as a legitimating device for a market-accommodating programme for labour market reform. The ILO remains more sceptical, both about the overall effects of globalisation and the more concrete uses of flexicurity. Meanwhile, the concept of flexicurity is subject to change and rearticulation in line with the evolving policy agenda endorsed by the Commission and/or the member states. The relationship between Europe and globalisation is thus far from neutral. ‘Europe’ is active in shaping globalisation; translated into the work undertaken here, Europeanisation could be conceived as a facet of globalisation rather than as a bulwark to it, or merely as a process running parallel to it.     

我国境外就业中介制度评析

目前我国境外就业中介法律制度初步建立,但是存在许多问题,没有发挥应有的作用。本文首先分析了存在的问题,在阐明我国涉外劳务中介法律制度的基础上,从比较法的角度,对国际劳工组织及外国有关立法进行分析,并提出建议:我国境外就业中介应厘清管理关系和职能,从有利于求职者和劳动者权益保护的方向发展。     

SA8000对我国外贸发展的影响及其对策

SA8000短期增加了劳动密集型产品企业的出口成本、降低了出口产品的竞争力、影响出口规模;长期来看,有利于增强企业竞争力、改善劳资关系、促进产业转型升级。应积极参加贸易与劳工标准、经济全球化讨论,参与制定SA8000标准。同时,与其他发展中国家密切合作、协调立场,统一行动,坚决抵制发达国家以实施SA8000为名的贸易保护主义,维护公平的国际贸易秩序。     

国际贸易与劳工权利保护两者关系的法律规则视角

劳工保护在历史上成为一个国际性问题之初就是和公平贸易的诉求紧密联系在一起的。将劳工权益保护与贸易挂钩一方面可以更有效地保障劳动者,另一方面也可能制造阻碍自由贸易的非关税壁垒。发达国家、发展中国家以及在全球化进程中地位日益凸显的跨国公司在国际贸易活动中引入劳工标准都会导致自身内在利益的追求与外在道德形象维护的矛盾。不可回避的一个事实是,当今世界的国际贸易交往中,劳工权益保护问题的重要性被提到了一个相当重要的高度,不论在主权国家与国际组织的层面,还是在跨国公司和非政府组织的层面,劳工问题已深深嵌入到跨国贸易活动中。
