Transnational trade union action has expanded significantly over
the last few decades and has taken a variety of shapes and
trajectories. This book is concerned with understanding the spatial
extension of trade union action, and in particular the development
of new forms of collective mobilization, network-building, and
forms of regulation that bridge local and transnational issues.
Through the work of leading international specialists, this
collection of essays examines the process and dynamic of
transnational trade union action and provides analytical and
conceptual tools to understand these developments. The research
presented here emphasizes that the direction of transnational
solidarity remains contested, subject to experimentation and
negotiation, and includes studies of often overlooked developments
in transition and developing countries with original analyses from
the European Union and NAFTA areas. Providing a fresh examination
of transnational solidarity, this volume offers neither a romantic
or overly optimistic narrative of a borderless unionism, nor does
it fall into a fatalistic or pessimistic account of international
union solidarity. Through original research conducted at different
levels, this book disentangles the processes and dynamics of
institution building and challenges the conventional national based
forms of unionism that prevailed in the latter half of the
twentieth century.
