Abstract

The article examines the epistemic communities that, between 1889 and 1919, developed technical and legal knowledge on labour and anticipated the creation of the ILO. These transnational networks of jurists, engineers, and social reformers promoted models of insurance and labour protection whose effects reached Brazil and contributed to the emergence of social fundamental rights.
