Abstract: Rapid transnationalization at the global scale has been transforming the governance structures of nation-states for more than three decades. One of the areas most influenced by transnationalization is the governance of the labour market at the national level. While the ever-increasing pressures to reduce cost in order to stay competitive in the global market have been influencing the labour market policies especially in developing countries, the proliferation and expansion of new modes of regulation such as standards, codes of conduct, certification and monitoring frames has introduced new dynamics into the governance structures.
