Labour and the Challenges of Globalization. What Prospects For Transnational Solidarity?

Labour and the Challenges of Globalization breaks new ground by anchoring the response of labour to globalization in the strategies of individual labour movements. Through ten excellent country reports, leading labour scholars show how new struggles are emerging in the face of hyper-competition and the expanding informalisation of work. It is a persuasive plea for a new form of transnational solidarity that goes beyond traditional trade unionism.' Eddie Webster, Professor of Sociology, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa   'In an era when capital strikes back globally, old tools are no longer enough. The book Labour and the Challenges of Globalization makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the situation of the working class today.' Clas Linder, First Vice President, Swedish Transport Workers' Union
