This book is the first comprehensive account of the International Labour Organization’s 100-year history. At its heart is the concept of global social policy, which encompasses not only social policy in its national and international dimensions, but also development policy, world trade, international migration and human rights. The book focuses on the ILO’s roles as a key player in debates on poverty, social justice, wealth distribution and social mobility subjects and as a global forum for addressing these issues. The study puts in perspective the manifold ways in which the ILO has helped structure these debates and has made – through its standard-setting, technical cooperation and myriad other activities – practical contributions to the world of work and to global social policy.

Basics of English Academic Writing: The Gateway to International Publications is a coursebook or textbook for the English Academic Writing course at the undergraduate level, which has gained high demand and become the gateway to international publications. This book comprises seven chapters that guide undergraduate students to master the basics of English academic writing, including phrases, clauses, sentences, citations and references, paragraphs, unity and coherence, and essays and journal articles. Each chapter provides objectives, detailed and practical materials, examples from internationally reputable journal articles, exercises, and assignments. Examples from internationally reputable journal articles play roles in embodying detailed materials into practices; exercises and assignments are beneficial to provide students with opportunities to practice. This book begins its explanation with a very basic unit in English academic writing, namely phrases. Students are then gradually introduced to clauses and sentences since many students face challenges in writing effective sentences and identifying clauses and their types, respectively. Students also learn about citations and references, which are vital in academic writing. They subsequently learn how to write effective paragraphs that maintain unity and coherence at the macro-level, meso-level, and micro-level. Ultimately, students are introduced to how to write essays and journal articles.
