At the limits of 'capability
Despite the centrality of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), women migrant workers in Malaysia face an environment inimical to their SRH needs. Drawing on qualitative case study material, we present the first empirical application of the capability approach (CA) to explore the reproductive health needs of women migrant workers in a developing country, offering an original analysis of the capability fo…

Regulating factory safety in the Bangladeshi garment industry
This paper examines how far the workplace inspection program established under the 2013 Accord on Fire and Building Safety has served to improve safety in Bangladesh garment factories, and the extent to which its operation has been influenced by factors that the literature suggests are important in shaping the outcomes of private regulatory initiatives. The findings suggest that such regulation can generate positive outcomes, even in the absence …

They argue that it provides a philosophical justification for a ‘development’ approach to labour regulation, supports the design of policies that promote workers’ wellbeing and validates the institution of worker participation mechanisms. For labour proponents, this is an exciting prospect. This article argues that despite its…
Gramsci, Counter-hegemony and Labour Union-Civil Society Organisation Coalitions in Malaysia
The dramatic outcome of the Malaysian 2008 Elections has been interpreted within a Gramscian framework. We deploy an alternative Gramscian approach, restoring relevant aspects of Gramsci’s theories to the centre of analysis. We therefore focus on mutual perceptions in coalitions between Civil Society Organisations (hereinafter CSO) and trade unions as a key indicator of the strength of counter-hegemonic forces. We conclude that accounts that clai…
The Legal Structuring of Women's Collective Voice in the South Korean Workplace
This article analyses the significant policy issue of how South Korean law structures possibilities for women in paid employment to express their collective views. South Korean women in employment suffer acute versions of problems faced by their counterparts in other countries, including a large gender earnings gap, limited employer-based training and very restricted access to workplace nurseries. The government has recently introduced a range of…
