Social Clauses and International Trade (1983) provides a comprehensive survey of working standards in international trade: the clauses in international trade agreements that call for minimum standards for those working to produce the goods being traded. The author looks at the historical background to social clauses and goes on to analyse clauses affecting trade union rights, wages, child labour, hours of work and safety at work. This is followed by a comparison of social clauses with alternative trade policy measures. The economic effects of social clauses are evaluated, and the author attempts to work out some measure of equivalence between these and other more traditional forms of protectionist policy.
