Over 90 per cent of the goods we use - from our smartphones to the
fuel in our cars - are transported by ships. The cargo shipping
industry is the most globalised industry in the world, yet we know
very little about the context in which these ships operate or the
ways in which seafaring labour is organised. Drawing on evidence
from South Africa and the Philippines, Waves of Change provides an
account of globalisation, seafaring labour markets and the state
that allows us to understand how processes of globalisation unfold
in this industry. The author shows that globalisation does not
always mean a 'race to the bottom' for workers: labour solidarity
and interventionist states shape globalisation as much as ship
owners do. Scholars, policy makers, students and those with a
general interest in globalisation and labour will find Waves of
Change a revelatory account of an industry about which little is
generally known.
