"Labour rights, human rights and citizenship in a globalised world: unions, women, and migrant workers"
During her fellowship at IAS-Nantes, Judy Fudge examines how, and the extent to which, human rights and citizenship discourses intersect when it comes to claims making for workers in a globalizing labour market. Using case studies that operate at different scales in distinctive political spaces, Canada and the European Union, this project deploys a multi-disciplinary approach that draws upon political economy, normative political theory, sociological conceptions of rights, and juridical analysis to provide a sociolegal account of the claim that labour rights are human rights. The project focuses on three species of labour rights – collective labour rights and the rights of women and migrant workers – in order to tease out the implications of the claim that labour rights are human rights. The goal is to provide an analysis that goes beyond a normative and juridical account of human rights claims by utilizing sociological and political economy lenses to examine the practice of claiming rights and the construction of cosmopolitan citizenship.
