For cutting edge views of what all this means for the labor movement, read Place, Space and the New Labour Internationalisms. – \u003cb\u003eJeremy Brecher\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eco-author of Globalisation from Below: The Power of Solidarity (Southend Press, Boston)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is the first major interpretation of the future of labour internationalism in the wake of the Seattle protests.

He has published widely in academic and political journals, in English and Spanish. Since 1994 he has had visiting positions or fellowships at universities in the UK, US, South Africa and Mexico. He worked for over a quarter century within the labour studies and politics of alternative development strategies programmes of the Institute of Social Studies, The Hague. He took early retirement in 1998. His current interests are: global solidarity movements, in political, communicational, and cultural terms; the life histories of internationalists - and his long-suffering Global Solidarity website. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJane Wills\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in Geography at Queen Mary, University of London.

She has long-term political and research interests in orgasnised labour and has undertaken ESRC-funded research into European Works Councils, union renewal and partnership agreements.\u003c\/p\u003e  Over the last 10 or 15 years there has been a revival of labor and trade union internationalism. This regeneration is attracting the attention of a new generation of committed thinkers who are deploying new types of scholarship. Labor internationalism is looked at not only in terms of political economy or industrial and international relations, but also in terms of social movement theory and in relationship to global civil society. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotions of labor-community alliances, or the alliance of labor with radical-democratic social movements, are being projected onto the world stage. Radical social geographers have made a notable contribution to this debate by focusing on the scaled politics of labor organisation. This collection, co-edited by scholars from an older and younger generation, is a very original attempt to grapple with the challenges of globalization for labor. The collection includes contributions from academics and activists based in the North and South.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989793718501,"sku":"NP9780631229834","price":36.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780631229834.jpg?v=1761785491","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/place-space-and-the-new-labour-internationalisms-isbn-9780631229834","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
