Labour Law and New Economy Discourse Joanne Conaghan*

Australian Journal of Labour Law, 16 pp 175 – 209 2003 Not Published Version

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to explore the emergence of conflicting narratives of the New Economy and their applicability / relevance in a labour law context. In particular, the article highlights shifting theoretical characterisations of labour law, with corresponding implications for labour law’s context and scope, and considers the significance of New Economy and globalisation discourses in this context, with particular reference to recent developments in Australian labour law and elsewhere.
