Sinopsis

Dramatic changes in Africa--the anticipated end of formal apartheid in South Africa, the emergence of newly independent nations (e.g. Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Eritrea), and demands to end one-party and military rule--call for a revaluation of the relationship between human rights, economic growth and democracy. To determine the impact of international organizations on human and worker rights and economic development in Africa, this book focuses on the International Labor Organization (ILO). The author's first hand experiences in the ILO and field research in Ghana offer a rare view of African officials and trade unionists. It is a valuable source for practitioners, scholars and students of international industrial and labor relations and African studies.
