Labour & Global Justice Conference 2009

          

Organised by CEVI, with the support of the European Science Foundation.

November 19-20, 2009 at Ghent, Belgium.

The domain of Global Justice has substantially grown over the past twenty years, with important contributions from various fields such as political philosophy and International Relations. Practical issues such as poverty reduction and migration have received significant attention. Labour issues however, although connected to poverty reduction and migration, have been underrepresented as explicit issues tackled within global justice debates. This conference aims at drawing attention to labour issues emerging as explicit justice issues within the context of globalization.

Papers on: labour and trafficking, migrant worker experiences, health care migration, policy debates, citizenship, ...
