Organization and Regulation of Employment Relations in Transnational Production and Supply Networks. Ensuring Core Labor Standards through
International Framework Agreements?
The purpose of the research is to increase our understanding of International
Framework Agreements (IFAs) negotiated by transnational corporations (TNCs)
and Global Union Federations as instruments for regulating labor standards and
employment relations within TNCs and throughout their global supply networks.
The research program is based on in-depth case studies and will focus on the
questions of motivation for and implementation of IFAs.
