Abstract: | This article describes the authors plans for and designof his research project upon the Personal Work Contracts inEuropean Comparative Law; it seeks consultation with the readershipabout those plans and that design; and it develops two linkedaspects of the theoretical infrastructure for that project,namely the analysis of the family of personal work contractsand the analysis of the personal work nexus. Theanalysis in terms of the family of personal work contractsasserts the validity and utility of the wide and inclusive notionof the personal work contract as a central organisingcategory for individual employment law and of a multi-dimensionalway of viewing and understanding this category as a family ofcontracts within which the contract of employment is of courseimportant but is not an over-dominant paradigm. The analysisin terms of the personal work nexus argues thatthe contracts within this family of personal work contractsmay be better understood if they are placed in the explanatoryframework of the personal work nexus, which isa concept of a yet looser and more comprehensive set of legallinks or connections within which personal work relations maybe cast. Ways are suggested in which these analyses may contributeto the better meeting of the regulatory needs of personal workrelations and in which those analyses might be refined and testedby means of a European comparative methodology. |
