Description
Summary:"The implications of globalization for labour are more often asserted than analysed. This collection, and its companion volume The Global Economy, National States and Regulation of Labour, edited by Paul Edwards and Tony Elger, seek to remedy this deficiency by presenting contemporary research on the relationship between the globalization of production and the regulation of labour. It examines the relationship between specific patterns of labour control (production regimes) and approaches to national labour relations (regulatory regimes). The contributors assess the nature and form of labour resistance and accommodation across a range of manufacturing industries in different national contexts."--back cover.
