'Free trade' strategies have increasingly become a problem for the
international labour movement. While trade unions in the North
especially in manufacturing have supported free trade agreements to
secure export markets for their companies, trade unions in the
Global South oppose these agreements, since they often imply
deindustrialisation. Especially the expansion of the free trade
agenda into services, public procurement, investment, intellectual
property rights as well as investor to state dispute settlement
provisions are considered to be problematic. The purpose of this
volume is to understand better these dynamics underlying 'free
trade' policy-making in order to explore possibilities for
transnational labour solidarity. Bringing together labour academics
with trade union researchers and social movement activists, this
volume moves from conceptual reflections about the impact of 'free
trade' via the analysis of struggles around free trade agreements
to considerations of concrete alternatives. This book was published
as a special issue of Globalizations.
