Globalisation opens up many new choices for employers, both to
relocate work and to tap into a flexible labour pool through the
use of migrant workers. There is a complex interplay between the
movement of jobs to people (offshore outsourcing) and the movement
of people to jobs (migration). As well as examining the spatial
dynamics of offshore outsourcing, this collection explores some of
the ways that both jobs and workers are becoming more mobile, and
looks not only at the implications of this for the careers and
conditions of workers in footloose employment but also what it
means for the workers who are left behind when global forces snatch
away their more geographically rooted jobs. Drawing on research
carried out in Eastern and Western Europe, North and South America
and Asia, this collection brings together a diverse range of
studies, in the process providing important new insights into both
the barriers to and the enablers of employers' access to a global
reserve army of labour. It also demonstrates that global spatial
restructuring is not necessarily a single one-off process but
typically involves complex mutual adaptation at a local level.
