Lavoro e Diritto

About the Journal

Lavoro e Diritto was founded in 1987 by Umberto Romagnoli, Luigi Mariucci and Gian Guido Baldani, directed until 2016 by Romagnoli, then until 2020 by Mariucci and Baldani. For a couple of decades, Lavoro e Diritto proposes itself as a point of reference for the development of new methodologies as regards the legal culture of labour while keeping the rigour of the tradition to which it belongs. The Journal has widened the scope of the area marked by the terms “labour” and “law”, including the industrial relations and the different systems of social protection, in a frame which has never been exclusively domestic but has always paid attention to the European dimension and to the globalization of economy. The new organization of labour connected to Information Technologies, the so called Society of Services and, again, Europe and the Global world impose a new notion of citizenship, the elaboration of which is the background of the research activity developed by the journal. The crisis that has hit the world economy has not spared labour and the rules that govern it, particularly in Europe and even more so in Italy, and this calls for a reflection capable of combining the prudence of the jurist with the disenchantment of the legal politician. Within this framework, the defence of the autonomy of labour law, in scholar debate as well as in the concrete legislative, jurisprudential and negotiating implementations, constitutes an essential point of reference for the editorial activity of Lavoro e diritto.

 Since 2022, the Review has been published alongside with a Digital Bookshelf where classic labour volumes from the catalogue of Il Mulino are freely available.

Lavoro e Diritto belongs to the International Association of Labour Law Journals, a development of an idea conceived by the founders of the journal — particularly by Professor Marco Biagi. For the years 2007–2010 Lavoro e Diritto holds the Presidency of the Association. Lavoro e Diritto was one of the journals that promoted the Marco Biagi Award, an initiative that still strongly supports.
