Book description
The world is undergoing enormous change involving politics, the
economy and society, however the position and place of the state and the
significance of state policy in this process is heavily contested. Globalisation, State and Labour presents a timely opportunity to review
and re-assess the modern state in regard to labour.
Using major studies from four countries (UK, Denmark, Australia and New
Zealand) the contributors to this volume challenge many preconceptions
regarding globalization and labour organization including the notions that
the state is being marginalized by the processes of globalization and trade
unions are becoming irrelevant. The essays, written by leading researchers
in the area, develop a new theoretical framework which puts work, workers
and their organizations at the heart of analysing state restructuring.
This book is an important corrective to much recent work on work, employment
and restructuring and the role of organized labour. Combining a new
theoretical approach with comparative analysis this book will be of vital
interest to anyone concerned with globalization debate, the future of the
state and organized labour.
