Manfred Weiss. A Legal Scholar without Borders. Selected Writings and Some Reflections on the Future of Labour Law

This volume collects some of the most significant works by Manfred Weiss. They are preceded by an interview made by Michele Tiraboschi to Prof. Weiss about the origins of the German and European culture of work. Manfred Weiss has been a pioneer of comparative labour law and a role model for labour law scholars who met him in the early stages of their academic career. With his work, he paved the way for a new approach to legal research, standing up for the weakest and those who struggle to have their voices heard. Manfred Weiss has showed us that we can engage in research and share the results of our work, promoting academia not only in terms of individual careers but as an area contributing to the future of work and benefitting institutions and people.
