The Autonomy of Labour Law

To what extent is labor law an autonomous field of study? This book is based upon papers written by a group of leading international scholars, delivered at a conference to observe Professor Mark Freedland's retirement from his teaching fellowship in Oxford. The chapters explore the boundaries and connections between labor law and other legal disciplines, such as: company law, competition law, contract law, and public law; labor law and legal methodologies, such as reflexive governance and comparative law; and labor law and other disciplines, such as ethics, economics, and political philosophy. In so doing, this festschrift represents a cross-section of the most sophisticated current work at the cutting edge of labor law theory.
