Title | Worker safety and human security: the case for global governance |
Authors | Hough, P. |
Abstract | The annual global death toll from accidents at work far outstrips that accrued in acts of war or terrorism but the phenomenon struggles to command anything like the prominence of these traditional priorities of international security in global politics. Whilst the ‘securitization’ of many non-military issues, such as climate change and disease, has come to be accepted in some sections of the academic and ‘real’ political world, this status has very rarely been granted to accidents. This seems to be because of the perception that a) accidental deaths cannot be equated to deaths inflicted directly by enemies (including non-human ones) and b) protecting worker is a domestic rather than international political concern. |
