Förlagets beskrivning
Global Unions? examines the role of unions in an increasingly global
political economy. Labour issues have recently jumped on to the agenda of
international relations and industrial relations and unions have been active in
trying to influence policies of international organizations such as the World
Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and
trade agreements in the Americas. This volume first considers various
theoretical approaches that can advance understanding global union issues,
discusses national and macro regional labour responses to global challenges and
examines the constraints on labour internationalism, union responses in the
South, labour and the architecture of international economic institutions, the
global labour standards debate and labour as a global social force. The book
includes case studies on: * The geography of labour struggles in the United
States. * Trade Union training on globalization in the UK and Brazil. *
Transformation in US and Canadian union international policies. * Labour and
regional integration in the Americas, Europe and the Asia-Pacific. This innovative collection of international relations and industrial
relations experts conclude that the challenges and opportunities for unions
operating in a global environment are immense. It will be of interest to trade
unions, labour activists and labour research institutes as well as students and
researchers in the fields of IPE, IR and Industrial Relations. Examines the interaction between industrial relations and international
relations in the global economy and analyses the key developments in union
strategy on a local, national, regional and global level.
