• Resumen

  • The paper provides an overview of the articles published in the years 2020-2022 by journals affiliated to the International Association of Labour Law Journals (Iallj). It aims to identify trends, movements, and developments in the scientific debate, which may be worth highlighting and mentioning to the wider community of labour law scholars. Articles published in the last three years by prominent journals, and in some cases whole journal issues, indicate a propensity to consider the element of space or spatiality within the scope of labour law research. We have noticed it repeatedly, in relation to very diverse topics, such as domestic work, labour mobility and migrations, platform workers’ organizing efforts, corporations’ offshoring strategies, the regulation of remote work, even the rise of nationalisms and protectionisms, to name a few examples. Moreover, some of the articles mentioned in this overview explicitly combine legal research and geography. All in all, we maintain that labour law scholars are beginning to get involved in an emerging legal geography of labour. After reviewing articles published by labour law journals in the years 2020 to 2022, we believe that the integration between labour law and geography may produce intriguing and innovative results
