                    Making Globalization                                                                                                                            Making Globalization
                    Socially Sustainable                                                                                                                            Socially Sustainable
                    Globalization is widely seen as a powerful engine that                                                    Making Globalization Socially Sustainable
                    has the potential to promote growth and development. 
                    For many years, however, concerns have also been 
                    raised about the eff ects of globalization on jobs and 
                    wages. This has led to questions about the social 
                    sustainability of globalization.
                    Jointly published by the International Labour Offi  ce and 
                    the Secretariat of the World Trade Organization, with 
                    funding by the International Chamber of Commerce, 
                    this publication consists of contributions by leading 
                    academic experts who analyse the various channels 
                    through which globalization aff ects jobs and wages. 
                    Together, the nine chapters in this volume summarize 
                    state-of-the art knowledge on themes related to the 
                    social dimension of globalization. 
                    The volume, therefore, represents a step in the direction 
                    of a better understanding of the mechanisms through 
                    which globalization aff ects workers and of the measures 
                    that governments can take to give globalization 
                    a strong social dimension. It will be of value to all 
                    those who are interested in the debate on the social 
                    sustainability of globalization, including workers and                                                                                           Edited by
