Produktinformationen zu „Grounding Globalization (PDF)“
*Winner of the 2009 Distinguished Scholarly Monograph Prize,
awarded by the American Sociological Association Labor and Labor
Movements section* Claims have been made on the emergence of a new labour
internationalism in response to the growing insecurity created by
globalization. However, when persons face conditions of insecurity
they often turn inwards. The book contains a warning and a sign of
hope. Some workers become fatalistic, even xenophobic. Others are
attempting to globalize their own struggles.
* Examines the claim that a new labour internationalism is
emerging by grounding the book in evidence, rather than
assertion
* Analyzes three distinct places - Orange, Australia;
Changwon, South Korea; and Ezakheni, South Africa - and how
they dealt with manufacturing plants undergoing restructuring
* Explores worker responses to rising levels of insecurity and
examines preconditions for the emergence of counter-movements to
such insecurities Highlights the significance of 'place' and
'scale', and demonstrates how the restructuring of multi-national
corporations, and worker responses to this, connect the two
concepts
