Contemporary scholars debate the factors driving despotic labour
conditions across the world economy. Some emphasize the dominance
of global market imperatives and others highlight the market's
reliance upon extra-economic coercion and state violence. At the
Margins of the Global Market engages in this debate through a
comparative and world-historical analysis of the labour regimes of
three global commodity-producing subregions of rural Colombia: the
coffee region of Viejo Caldas, the banana region of Uraba, and the
coca/cocaine region of the Caguan. By drawing upon insights from
labour regimes, global commodity chains, and world historical
sociology, this book offers a novel understanding of the broad
range of factors - local, national, global, and interregional -
that shape labour conditions on the ground in Colombia. In doing
so, it offers a critical new framework for analysing labour and
development dynamics that exist at the margins of the global
market.
