Book Review Symposium: The future of the International Labour Organization in the global economy, by Francis Maupain: Introduction

Brian Langille and Guy Mundlak

International Labour Review, 2015, vol. 154, issue 1, 68-72

Abstract: type="main">

The short papers in this book review symposium are based on the authors' contributions to a workshop held in Montreal in May 2014, where they were invited to comment on Francis Maupain's (2013) book The future of the International Labour Organization in the global economy. The workshop took place within the framework of the International Conference “New frontiers for citizenship at work” organized by the Interuniversity Research Centre on Globalization and Work (CRIMT).

At the heart of this book is a daunting question: how can an organisation whose structure, mandate and resources were developed almost a century ago pretend to retain relevance and effectiveness in the face of realities that have virtually nothing in common with those of its origins?
