Conference: Transformation of Labour Law in Europe 1945–2004 Länk Program Uppsala Forum on Peace, Democracy & Justice has the honour of arranging the conference: Transformation of Labour Law in Europe 1945–2004 on the 15 of January 2010 in Uppsala Transformation of Labour Law in Europe 1945–2004 The labour laws of European democracies all underwent major transformations in the seven decades after the Second World War. Following reconstruction, these laws became an essential element in the building of welfare states; in the 1980s and 1990s they were the target of neo-liberal deregulation,, and at the beginning of the 21st century new ‘flexible’ labour laws have attempted to integrate economic and social policy. These developments are analysed in Hepple & Veneziani (eds) The Transformation of Labour Law in Europe – A Comparative Study of 15 Countries 1945–2004 (Hart Publishing 2009). The book compares the similarities and differences in the ways in which EU Member States reflected and shaped these general developments, in the context of economic, social and political changes over the period. At the conference the findings of the book are presented and discussed. The book is the sequel to Hepple (ed) The Making of Labour Law in Europe – A Comparative Study of Nine Countries up to 1945 (1986). A reprint is now issued by Hart Publishing. Both books are available on www.hartpub.co.uk --- Please send your registration for the conference to sofia.ungh@jur.uu.se The conference is free of charge. Last day to register is 30 December 2009
