Abstract

While globalization has led to what can – with reference to Karl Polanyi – be referred to as a
disembedding of the labour market from its nationally segmented settings, recent decades bring
about a development identifiable as a ‘countermovement’. As the text shows, drawing on the
example of European Works Councils and International Framework Agreements, this process of
‘re-embedding’ takes place through a network of different measures of labour regulation. It is for
this reason that establishing a relational perspective on cross-border phenomena in the field of labour relations can count as a central future aim in this strand of research.
