SUMMARY:Workshop: Untangling the Circulation of Ideas: Historical Perspectives on Dispute Resolution and Enforcement in Labour Law
DESCRIPTION:A system of modern labour law comprises three broad mechanisms: a process by which labour rights and standards are determined and set as legal norms; mechanisms whereby information about the observance of labour standards is obtained and fed back into the system; and processes and mechanisms by which standards can be enforced where necessary. \nWhile there has been extensive historical research concerning the development of labour standard setting\, there has been less investigation of the second and third mechanisms of labour law – what we might call labour law enforcement. Different bodies are charged with ensuring labour law’s enforcement. For example\, trade unions and labour inspectorates may monitor conditions in the workplace. Enforcement also takes place through dispute resolution bodies (such as arbitration and conciliation bodies as well as labour or industrial courts and tribunals); through trade unions calling industrial action; through other informal trade union and worker action; deployment of administrative sanctions by state agencies; or availability of court sanctions such as penalties. \nFrom the outset\, the development of national labour law was influenced by international networks and exchanges\, in which both problems and solutions were discussed. Ideas circulated here\, inspiring each other\, being further developed\, and being adapted to the respective national contexts. This circulation of ideas extended to how to ensure compliance with and enforcement of labour law. However\, little is known about the history of these international networks or the paths and ideas of their protagonists. \nThis Workshop\, organized by Johanna Wolf (Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory)\, John Howe (University of Melbourne) and Rebecca Zahn (University of Strathclyde)\, explores the history of international and transnational ‘entanglements’\, networks\, links and other modes for the circulation and exchange of ideas across borders and jurisdictions which shaped labour law enforcement practices\, focusing particularly on the 19th and early 20th centuries. \nInterested scholars and researchers are invited to attend this workshop as audience members. Attendance (including lunch) is free of charge. \nIf you would like to attend\, please email rebecca.zahn@strath.ac.uk by Monday 1 September 2025. Please note that audience member spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come\, first served basis. \nThe Workshop is being financially supported by the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory\, the University of Strathclyde\, and the Centre for Employment and Labour Relations Law\, Melbourne Law School. \n  \nPROGRAMME\nThursday\, 11 September\n1.30pm Welcome and Introductions \nJohn Howe\, Johanna Wolf\, Rebecca Zahn\, Untangling the circulation of ideas: historical perspectives on dispute resolution and enforcement in labour law \n2pm – 3pm Panel 1: The emergence of female inspectors and inspection systems \nChair: Jim Phillips (University of Glasgow)\nPetra Herzfeld Olsson (Stockholm University)\, How the idea of a female labour inspectorate took off – walking in the footsteps of Kerstin Hesselgren\nJonathan Zeller (University of Zurich)\, From England to Zurich: Transnational Roots of Female Inspectors \n3.00 – 3.30pm Coffee\n3.30pm – 5pm Panel 2: Enforcement and Compliance \nChair: Ruth Dukes (University of Glasgow)\nLouis Debersaques (Vrije Universiteit Brussel)\, Coming down like a ton of bricks?
