Reforming labor studies in a long-term and global context This 2003 book is based on a major database on labor unrest in the world to show how local labor movements have been linked to political, economic and social processes worldwide since the late 19th century. Through an in-depth empirical analysis of selected global industries, this illustrates how the main sites of labor unrest have shifted from country to country with shifts in the geographical location of production.
It shows how the main sites of labor unrest have changed over time along with the rise / fall of the new leading sectors of capitalist development, and shows that labor movements have been deeply rooted (both as a cause and effect) in global political dynamics. The book concludes by exploring the possible forms of emerging labor movements in the 21st century..
