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. 410 0$aStudies in Critical Social Sciences;$vvolume146. 606 $aOffshore outsourcing$xSocial aspects$zRomania 606 $aEmployees$zRomania$xSocial conditions 606 $aLabor and globalization$zRomania 606 $aPost-communism$zRomania 607 $aRomania$xEconomic conditions$y1989- 607 $aRomania$xSocial conditions$y1989- 615 0$aOffshore outsourcing$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEmployees$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aLabor and globalization 615 0$aPost-communism 676 $a658.4058 700 $aMiszczyn?ski$b Mi?osz$01493827 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793761603321 996 $aThe dialectical meaning of offshored work$93717038 997 $aUNINA
