Management techniques, like the use of algorithms, are being tested with a view to exporting across the global economy and it is argued that automation is undermining workers' agency. Although the contractual trick of self-employment has allowed platforms to grow quickly and keep their costs down, yet it has also been the case also that workers have also found they can strike without following the existing regulations. This book develops a critique of platforms and platform capitalism from the perspective of workers and contributes to the ongoing debates about the future of work and worker organising. It presents an alternative portrait returning to a focus on workers' experience, focusing on solidarity, drawing out a global picture of new forms of agency. In particular, the book focuses on three dynamics that are driving struggles in the platform economy: the increasing connections between workers who are no longer isolated; the lack of communication and negotiation from platforms, leading to escalating worker action around shared issues; and the internationalisation of platforms, which has laid the basis for new transnational solidarity. Focusing on transport and courier workers, online workers and freelancers, author Jamie Woodcock concludes by considering how workers build power in different situations. Rather than undermining worker agency, platforms have instead provided the technical basis for the emergence of new global struggles against capitalism. 410 0$aCDSMS (Series) 517 $aFight Against Platform Capitalism 606 $aElectronic commerce 606 $aCapitalism 606 $aInformation technology$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aElectronic commerce. 615 0$aCapitalism. 615 0$aInformation technology$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a331.25729 700 $aWoodcock$b Jamie$0907133 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476950103321 996 $aThe Fight Against Platform Capitalism$93013273 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03336oam 2200685I 450 001 9910787090403321 005 20230607210528.0 010 $a1-136-05128-7 010 $a1-138-46672-7 010 $a1-136-05120-1 010 $a1-315-00066-0 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315000664 035 $a(CKB)3710000000226691 035 $a(EBL)1774343 035 $a(OCoLC)889675889 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001331840 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12414919 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001331840 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11336998 035 $a(PQKB)10143122 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1774343 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1774343 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10921163 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL642167 035 $a(OCoLC)891381511 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB136545 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000226691 100 $a20180706e20022002 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aNATO's Balkan interventions /$fDana H.

Focusing on the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo, it traces the record of early transatlantic failures and later successes as once bitterly divided allies were able, finally, to unite around some basic principles. By the time of the Kosovo intervention in spring 1999, the allies agreed on the necessity of taking sides and using military force in conflicts that were complicated, but far from morally opaque. The book concludes with some lessons around which the transatlantic allies might reason 410 0$aAdelphi papers ;$v347. 606 $aYugoslav War, 1991-1995$xParticipation, Foreign 606 $aKosovo War, 1998-1999 607 $aBalkan Peninsula$xHistory$y1989- 615 0$aYugoslav War, 1991-1995$xParticipation, Foreign. 615 0$aKosovo War, 1998-1999. 676 $a949.703 700 $aAllin$b Dana H.$f1958-,$01555504 712 02$aInternational Institute for Strategic Studies. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787090403321 996 $aNATO's Balkan interventions$93817460 997 $aUNINA
