The International Labour Organization in the Portuguese labour law: repercussions and constraints of a socio-legal paradigm
The International Labour Organization plays a central role in the development of labour law and labour relations systems. This project aims to increase knowledge about the coordination dynamics between the different socio-legal spaces and levels in the production and application of labour law, specifically the result of how the ILO has contributed to the settlement of labour law and labour relations in Portugal. In pursuing that aim, this project seeks to understand the extent to which the ILO normativity is experienced at the national level. At same time seeks the analysis of the Portuguese labour law and the Portuguese labour relations systems process of consolidation and transformation, contextualised by the international trends of human rights promotion and labour governance. Preference is given to three structural dimensions of labour law reality: conflict resolution, working conditions and work quality. In each of these labour areas, three topics that are considered critical indicators of the specificity of labour law were respectively chosen, respectively: collective bargaining, compensation for occupational risks and contractual arrangements.
