Synopsis

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online

Whistleblowing and Freedom of Expression in Working Life examines how the right to blow the whistle is regulated across various national contexts. With contributors from Europe, the United States, Australia, and Africa, the chapters focus on factors that influence how different countries design and implement their whistleblower protection laws.

The book approaches the issues from a range of academic and methodological perspectives across labour law, political science, and sociology and including comparative institutional mapping, legal analysis, qualitative interviews, and surveys. Topics include attitudes to freedom of expression, trade union involvement, regulatory agencies, enforcement mandates, handling processes and comparative studies of transpositions of the EU Whistleblowing Directive (2019/1937).

A sharp volume of social research in this increasingly important area, this work will appeal to scholars of sociology, labour studies, political science and law.
