Labor and Capital in the Age of Globalization: The Labor Process and the Changing Nature of Work in the Global Economy

This is an analysis of the work and labour processes and how they are rapidly changing under globalization. The contributors explore traditional sectors of the US and world economies - from auto to steel to agriculture - as well as work under new production arrangements, such as third world export processing zones. Many chapters analyze changing dynamics of gender, nationality and class. The contributors explain why more intensified forms of control by the State and by capital interests are emerging under globalization. Yet they also emphasize new possibilities for labour, including new forms of organizing and power sharing in a rapidly changing economy.
