Starting from a broad definition of labour relations as the full
range of vertical and horizontal social relations under which work
is performed, both within and outside the household, this volume
examines the way states have shaped and interacted with labour
relations in a wide range of periods and places, from the
sixteenth-century silver mines of Potosi in the Andes to late
twentieth-century Sweden, and from seventeenth-century Dzungharia
to early twentieth-century colonial Mozambique. The articles
presented look at very different types of states, from local and
regional power holders to nation states and empires, and explore
the activities of these states and their impact on labour relations
in three roles, as conquerors, employers and arbiters. The volume
finds diversity, but also a remarkable degree of similarity across
space and time in the mechanisms deployed by states to extract and
allocate the labour required to carry out their essential tasks.
