This invaluable review focuses on employment law and labour protection issues that are central to understanding the complex development of private international law and its broadening challenges. The text also discusses timeless questions that reflect specific features and fundamental issues of this ever-changing subject area, whilst drawing attention to the broader regulatory framework and significant challenges to traditional approaches under way. This will be of great interest to both labour law and private international law scholars and practitioners who deal with cross-border work.

Accessibility at the local scale: how it constrains our ability to ‘live locally’

Research Handbooks in Transport Studies series

Cecília Silva

This chapter builds an argument emphasising the loss of accessibility levels at the local scale in the last decades, as a result of a fixation to improve accessibility through mobility gains. In considering mobility improvement as necessary and even sufficient to enhance accessibility, we have, unwillingly contributed to the loss of accessibility at the local scale, even though accessibility at the regional level might be improving. The chapter sets out the relevance of building awareness on local accessibility levels and their shifts over time, exploring the current main challenges to measuring accessibility at the local level. Special attention is given to need to develop tools which allow for comparison between the local and regional levels, particularly in the absence of a track record of past levels serving as benchmarks.
