In this path-breaking study, social economist Naila Kabeer examines
the lives of Bangladeshi garment workers in Bangladesh and Britain
to shed light on the question of what constitutes "fair"
competition in international trade. She argues that if the
unhealthy coalition of multinationals and labor movements is truly
seeking to improve the working conditions for women and children in
the "Third World," as well as those of western workers, their
efforts should be directed away from an attempt to impose labor
standards and towards a support for the organization of labor
rights. Any attempt to devise acceptable labor standards at an
international level which takes no account of the forces of
inclusion and exclusion with local labor movements is, she further
argues, likely to represent the interests of the powerful at the
expense of those of the weak.
