Abstract

Various theoretical approaches to economic globalization and social security are highlighted. There also is a special focus on the role of accidents at work – with contributions by several authors featured. In addition several new approaches are developed and it becomes obvious that the links between economic globalization and social security are more complex than is often considered in the relevant literature. Globalization contributes to economic convergence and growth; social security can contribute to better human capital formation and this in turn could contribute to economic growth.
