Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper explores the transnational regulatory structures governing the experiences of women workers in a garment export manufacturing complex in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It addresses their resistance to abuse outside the formal legal regimes of audits, grievances, and legal challenges. It then traces their experiences through the transnational regulatory framework which structures their work, as a means of testing the theorisation of emerging transnational legal models. In particular, the article will discuss the interactions of Vietnamese domestic law, international law, and private regulation by the factory owners and Nike, a prominent buyer, with respect to the specific placement of women in garment export manufacturing and their capacity to organise and gain legal relief. It concludes by stating that the privatisation of regulatory forms and procedures underway in the development of the transnational legal order significantly erodes workers’ legal rights and claim-making capacities, but countercurrents of grassroots resistance are also identifiable.

“我们有声音,但我们不能真正说话”:跨国私有化和全球出口制造业中妇女就业的(非)正当性——以越南汉赛有限公司为例
摘要本文探讨了越南胡志明市一家服装出口制造企业中女性工人的跨国监管结构。它解决了他们在审计、申诉和法律挑战的正式法律制度之外对虐待的抵制。然后,它通过构建他们工作的跨国监管框架来追溯他们的经验,作为测试新兴跨国法律模式理论化的一种手段。特别是,文章将讨论越南国内法、国际法以及工厂所有者和著名买家耐克的私人监管在服装出口制造业中的具体安排以及她们组织和获得法律救济的能力方面的相互作用。报告最后指出,在发展跨国法律秩序的过程中,监管形式和程序的私有化严重侵蚀了工人的合法权利和索赔能力,但基层抵抗的逆流也是可以识别的。

期刊介绍: The objective of Transnational Legal Theory is to publish high-quality theoretical scholarship that addresses transnational dimensions of law and legal dimensions of transnational fields and activity. Central to Transnational Legal Theory''s mandate is publication of work that explores whether and how transnational contexts, forces and ideations affect debates within existing traditions or schools of legal thought. Similarly, the journal aspires to encourage scholars debating general theories about law to consider the relevance of transnational contexts and dimensions for their work. With respect to particular jurisprudence, the journal welcomes not only submissions that involve theoretical explorations of fields commonly constructed as transnational in nature (such as commercial law, maritime law, or cyberlaw) but also explorations of transnational aspects of fields less commonly understood in this way (for example, criminal law, family law, company law, tort law, evidence law, and so on). Submissions of work exploring process-oriented approaches to law as transnational (from transjurisdictional litigation to delocalized arbitration to multi-level governance) are also encouraged. Equally central to Transnational Legal Theory''s mandate is theoretical work that explores fresh (or revived) understandings of international law and comparative law ''beyond the state'' (and the interstate). The journal has a special interest in submissions that explore the interfaces, intersections, and mutual embeddedness of public international law, private international law, and comparative law, notably in terms of whether such inter-relationships are reshaping these sub-disciplines in directions that are, in important respects, transnational in nature.
