Beskrivning
Labor in Hard Times examines how organized labor in Turkey and the United Kingdom turned to international human rights law in response to domestic repression and neoliberal restructuring. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and a unique database of labor rights cases, the book traces how workers used litigation at the European Court of Human Rights not just to win legal victories, but to build political pressure, assert legitimacy, and reclaim space for collective action. Focusing on public sector unionists in Turkey and blacklisted construction workers in the UK, it offers a rare view of how grassroots activists and lawyers mobilized international law as a tactical resource: Workers engaged rights discourse strategically to pursue concrete goals, while remaining rooted in class-based solidarity. With vivid case studies, this book speaks to readers interested in international courts, human rights, and the evolving strategies of labor movements in an era of democratic backsliding and global inequality.

Recensioner i media

'Labor in Hard Times is much more than a book about workers' legal mobilization at the European Court of Human Rights. It is a study of the relationship between domestic movements, their governments, and international courts. Kahraman employs a combination of paired comparison, historical analysis, and a study of the court's records to show how these actors interact, both in general, and in the archetypical cases of Turkey and the United Kingdom. This fine book should be on the bookshelves of scholars of comparative labor movements, international courts, and the relations between them.' Sidney Tarrow, author of Power in Movement (Cambridge University Press)
