There has been a recent resurgence in interest in the theorization
of labour regimes in various disciplines. This has taken the form
of a concern to understand the role that labour regimes play in the
structuring, organization and dynamics of global systems of
production and reproduction. The concept has a long heritage that
can be traced back to the 1970s and the contributions to this book
seek to develop further this emerging field. The book traces the
intellectual development of labour regime concepts across various
disciplines, notably political economy, development studies,
sociology and geography. Building on these foundations it considers
conceptual debates around labour regimes and global production
relating to issues of scale, informality, gender, race, social
reproduction, ecology and migration, and offers new insights into
the work conditions of global production chains from Amazon's
warehouses in the United States, to industrial production networks
in the Global South, and to the dormitory towns of migrant workers
in Czechia. It also explores recent mobilizations of labour regime
analysis in relation to methods, theory and research practice.
