#LabourRights in Special Economic Zones: Between Unilateralism and Transnational Law Diffusion
Journal of International Economic Law, Volume 24, Issue 2, June 2021,
"Special economic zones (#SEZs) have spread rapidly over the past 20 years, including in many low- and middle-income countries keen to attract private investment for industrial development. But while much debate has focused on their economic performance and success factors, SEZ programmes have often formed the object of contestation over land expropriations, poor labour conditions, and lost public revenues. These concerns are often partly rooted in shortcomings of the legal regimes that govern the creation and operation of SEZs—including, and depending on the circumstances, their perceived failure to protect workers and affected people both within and outside the SEZs, their exempting SEZs from national laws, or their weak arrangements to ensure compliance."
