A structural approach to labour law

Cambridge Journal of Economics, 2022, vol. 46, issue 3, 447-463

Abstract: This article draws on the scholarly tradition of critical realism to develop a structural approach to labour law that can help equip labour lawyers with the critical tools that will be required if they are to defend labour law against the various ideological critiques to which it is, and has historically been, subject; and if they are to advance structurally informed arguments for reform that are sensitive to the structural constraints that exist both when it comes to what can be achieved in capitalism and when it comes to what can be achieved through law in particular.
