The renowned international labour law scholars contributing to this incomparable volume use the term ‘game changers’ to refer to evolutions, concepts, ideas and challenges that are having, or have had, major impacts on how we must understand and approach labour law in today’s global economy. The volume derives from an international conference organized by the Institute for Labour Law at the University of Leuven, Belgium in November 2017. This initiative is pursued in the spirit and with the methods of the late Emeritus Professor Roger Blanpain (1932–2016), a great reformer who continuously searched for key challenges in the world of work and looked as far as possible into the future,...

All over the world countries face the challenge of inadequate social security coverage for workers without an employment contact. In countries of the global south, this phenomenon is a natural consequence of large informal economies. Countries in the global north increasingly witness the same issue, due to growing labour market flexibility (flex contracts, dependent self-employment, digitization of labour).

En 1970, l'historien Hubert Gerbeau publiait Les esclaves noirs. Pour une histoire du silence. II y posait la question des sources d'une histoire de l'esclavage qui prendrait davantage en compte le point de vue des esclaves en eux-mêmes. Et cela à l'encontre d'une historiographie plus officielle, celle des maîtres et des représentants du pouvoir. Deux ans plus tard, en 1972, dans un exposé sur " la révolte des esclaves à l'île Bourbon au XVIIIe siècle ", Jean Barassin (spiritain) soulignait le phénomène du marronnage qui prit à Bourbon un caractère plus tragique et désespéré qu'à l'île Maurice. Depuis une trentaine d'années, la recherche a évolué grâce à une meilleure exploitation des archives. En s'appuyant sur les acquis de cette recherche et en particulier sur les témoignages des esclaves eux-mêmes, Prosper Eve développe longuement dans son livre : Les esclaves de Bourbon, la mer et la montagne, deux formes de résistance, la fuite par mer et le marronnage. La première offre une clé pour saisir le fait que le Réunionnais tourne le dos à la mer, et la seconde montre que les Hauts ont été pour les esclaves l'espace de la renaissance.
