Labour internationalism is often viewed as impossible or
inevitable, depending upon political perspective. O'Brien argues
for a more nuanced, diverse understanding of labour
internationalism, identifying six different 'faces', shaped by the
national or global orientation of particular groups in the fields
of production, regulation and ideas. Providing a general view of
labour's global activity and a case study of the Southern
Initiative on Globalisation and Trade Union Rights (SIGTUR), the
book illustrates how the productive and regulatory structures of
the global economy are pushing labour internationalism in
particular directions. It details how leftist unions in Argentina,
Australia, Brazil, India, the Philippines, South Africa, and South
Korea have tried to bridge their differences and launch collective
actions. Drawing upon twenty years of participant observation,
O'Brien reveals a specific Global South approach based upon
anti-imperialism, anti-capitalism and empathetic internationalism.
