Abstract

Globalization has done little to fight global poverty and inequality. That can change if those in favor of a freer and fairer global trade and finance system link that regime with core worker rights. This connection will result in a reduction of global poverty and a more equitable distribution of trade gains. Prior to the U.S.-Cambodian Bilateral Textile Agreement (USCBTA), legal architectures linking free trade and global finance with core worker rights have adopted adjudicative or quasi-adjudicative models. By contrast, the USCBTA adopted a regulatory approach. This article analyzes the relative strengths and weaknesses of a regulatory model for international labor law enforcement and offers key recommendations for the future.
