This book investigates the efficacy and institutionalization of Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) as a regulatory mechanism for protecting labor rights within global supply chains. Ingrid Landau, a scholar specializing in labor law and corporate accountability, utilizes a legal and socio-political framework to evaluate how HRDD has transitioned from a voluntary corporate social responsibility concept into a formal instrument of transnational labor governance. The text analyzes the tension between corporate self-regulation and the actual enforcement of worker protections in complex, multi-tiered production networks.

Experts identify this work as a rigorous contribution to the study of transnational labor law and corporate accountability. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which is well-suited for legal scholars and policy researchers interested in the mechanics of global supply chain regulation.
