The book synthesizes ethnographic research, media reviews, and policy analysis to examine how localized forms of offshoring production occur in social, political and economic processes to highlight dilemmas connected to mobility of capital, modernization, social equality and capitalist expansion. The book delineates the complex interplay between Western neoliberalism and a transforming post-socialist Europe, to show the complex ways in which offshoring production infiltrates local communities. Analyzing issues of labor, work and employment, this book engages with current scholarship on critical management, sociology, anthropology, and East European studies.Studies in Critical Social Sciences;volume146.Offshore outsourcingSocial aspectsRomaniaEmployeesRomaniaSocial conditionsLabor and globalizationRomaniaPost-communismRomaniaRomaniaEconomic conditions1989-RomaniaSocial conditions1989-Electronic books.Offshore outsourcingSocial aspectsEmployeesSocial conditions.Labor and globalizationPost-communism658.4058Miszczyński Miłosz1066602NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910511651203321The dialectical meaning of offshored work2549586UNINA03783nam 22006975 450 991052376940332120250616113242.03-030-78184-410.1007/978-3-030-78184-2(MiAaPQ)EBC6852105(Au-PeEL)EBL6852105(CKB)20667617700041(PPN)272921300(DE-He213)978-3-030-78184-2(EXLCZ)992066761770004120220111d2022 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEnabling the Internet of Value How Blockchain Connects Global Businesses /edited by Nikhil Vadgama, Jiahua Xu, Paolo Tasca1st ed. 2022.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2022.1 online resource (209 pages)Future of Business and Finance,2662-2475Print version: Vadgama, Nikhil Enabling the Internet of Value Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2022 9783030781835 Part I: Defining the Internet of Value 1 -- Chapter 1.
