‘This highly instructive book on how labour administration is struggling with challenges in the contemporary world of labour gives a compact analysis of the evolution of national systems in the context of the ILO’s 1978 Labour Administration Convention. The case studies of the reforms and innovations in labour administration presented here, for eight countries on different continents with differing economies, make it essential reading for scholars and practitioners alike.’
