Greven, Thomas (2005): Social Standards in Bilateral and Regional Trade and Investment Agreements. Instruments, Enforcement, and Policy Options for Trade Unions
Despite efforts of the ILO, no viable multilateral labor rights regime has been
established. At the same time, an increasingly global economy requires such
regimes in order to prevent ruinous competition between countries competing in
similar product markets on the basis of a similar set of production factors.

rights may be used as source of competitive advantages, even if such advantages
are marginal. So-called ‘core labor rights’ can enable domestic actors to fight for
improved standards.
