However, workers around the world are challenging their increased exploitation by globalizing corporations. In developed countries, many unions are transforming themselves to confront employer power in ways more appropriate to contemporary circumstances; in developing countries, militant new labour movements are emerging. Drawing upon insights in anti-determinist Marxian perspectives, Verity Burgmann shows how working-class resistance is not futile, as protagonists of globalization often claim. She identifies eight characteristics of globalization harmful to workers and describes and analyses how they have responded collectively to these problems since 1990 and especially this century. With case studies from around the world, including Greece since 2008, she pays particular attention to new types of labour movement organization and mobilization that are not simply defensive reactions but are offensive and innovative responses that compel corporations or political institutions to change. Aging and less agile manifestations of the labour movement decline while new expressions of working-class organization and mobilization arise to better battle with corporate globalization. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of labour studies, globalization, political economy, Marxism and sociology of work. 410 0$aRoutledge advances in international political economy ;$v27. 606 $aLabor movement$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aLabor and globalization 606 $aCapitalism$xHistory$y21st century 610 $aeconomics 610 $alabor movement 610 $apolitics 610 $alabor and globalization 610 $alabor unions and international relations 610 $apolitical science 615 0$aLabor movement$xHistory 615 0$aLabor and globalization. 615 0$aCapitalism$xHistory 676 $a331.88 700 $aBurgmann$b Verity.$0993013 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136795703321 996 $aGlobalization and labour in the twenty-first century$92273891 997 $aUNINA
