Constitucionalismo e globalização no contexto transnacional

Abstract

This dissertation is part of a specific line of research entitled Constitutionalism and Production of Law, and its goal is to verify whether the changes in the Constitutional State, in the context of globalization, influence labor relations, deepening knowledge concerning these changes, prompted by the processes of globalization, and analyzing their interferences on labor relations in a transnational context. Due to the enormous advances in Transport and Communications, it is very easy to cross boarders and as a result, companies can choose which country they will set up their branch offices in. Firms choose countries known for their flexible labor laws, weak labor unions, cheap labor costs and low taxes. The State finds itself in a dilemma: either it remains strong, assuring the social rights already conquered by its citizens, or it succumbs to the pressures of the economic sectors. In this sense, considering the transnational demands brought by the process of globalization, the need for a transnational law emerges that will regulate these labor relations in this Transnational State. In terms of methodology, the inductive method was used during the research stage, the Cartesian method in the data processing stage, and the inductive basis for the research report. The investigation techniques used were those of referent, category, operational concepts, bibliographical research, and filing
