| Abstract: | This paper looks at four possible devices by which international organisations might facilitate international labour standards and assesses their relative merits. Three of these draw on models already in use by the World Trade Organisation, the International Labour Organisation and the International Organisation for Standardisation, respectively. The fourth, the United Nations Global Compact, represents an innovation that borrows aspects of each of the first three. By combining attention to self-interest and to legitimacy in a novel way, the Global Compact represents the most promising avenue for institutionalising labour standards in the global economy. |
