Susan L. Kang analyzes comparative case studies of campaigns by trade unions to link local labor rights disputes to international human rights frameworks. She finds that contingent political incentives, rather than normative arguments, compel governments to make reforms to better protect these fundamental human rights.


Susan L. Kang teaches political science at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York.
