The Handbook of the International Political Economy of Production
offers a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of the changing
world of global production. The book explores the topic in a range
of directions, including the human material 'used' in production
across the globe and alternatives proposed from different
quarters.Chapters cover the geography of why and where jobs are
moving in both manufacturing and services. The doubling of the
world's available labor supply after the opening up of the planned
economies in Europe and Asia has sharply tilted the balance of
power towards giant corporations. Labor and the politics of work is
analyzed in a number of key countries. Possible signs of a recovery
of organized labor's negotiating power on this vastly expanded
playing field are discussed in separate chapters, and a complete
overview is provided of labour research networks currently active.
This important volume addresses topics relating to the human and
natural basis on which production rests, from the consequences of
the exploitation of the body and mind to sex work, biotechnology,
and the prospects for ecological re-balancing. Written by a team of
authors from fourteen different countries and comprising some of
the biggest names in contemporary social science as well as topical
specialists, this Handbook will prove a critical resource to
political economists at all levels, trade unionists and NGO
activists in the labor and human rights sphere, politicians and
journalists. Contributors: J. Baines, A. Bhattacharjee, M. Boyer,
