Remote Work and Labor Institutions

Published Dec. 12, 2025 by Cambridge University Press.

ISBN:: 978-1-009-59702-9

This volume shows how remote work is regulated by a holistic set of arrangements that govern all forms of employment, weaving together labor institutions in complex ways that the book presents and explains. The scholarship assembled here examines the handling of remote work through institutional analysis cutting across national cases and focusing on both fundamental rights and regulatory challenges. The rights that are examined - by analyzing their nteraction with employer powers - include privacy, equality and non-discrimination as well as collective rights and the distribution of responsibilities in the workplace. The book shows how the location of work interacts with new technologies redefining the universe of labor relations and the institutional system governing employment.

A Timely Academic Collection

4 stars

This is a fantastic academic collection, providing a wide variety of up to date research on different aspects of remote work and labor regimes. While I highly recommend the whole book, I especially liked the chapters on the societal value of workplace ties and the challenge of supporting them in a remote environment (Cynthia Estlund) and (perhaps unsurprisingly) the chapter on remote work in Japan before, during, and after the pandemic (Takashi Araki). There are a lot of other great chapters as well, and given how quickly research like this can age I'd suggest reading this soon if you're at all interested in workplace strategy
