Globalization, Knowledge and Labour

This book begins from the central premise that progressive social change requires collective struggle underpinned by a clear strategy, and that processes of neoliberal globalization have altered the cartography upon which social struggle takes place. Drawing on insights from the knowledge-production processes of labour movements around the world, this research seeks to highlight the central importance of knowledge production and the processes of learning within social movements.

Providing both a comprehensive theoretical and empirical introduction to the relationship between globalization, knowledge and social movement strategy, the authors contend that the production and dissemination of alternative knowledge is central to a resurgence of working-class power. By presenting a wide range of case studies, the book highlights the centrality of knowledge production and circulation processes to the potential expansion and revitalization of the role of civil society in the promotion of social democracy. The chapter contributors include activist-scholars, whose work represents a broad perspective on labour, including the unemployed, the self-employed at the margins of the labour market, the unorganized, and those who work in the informal economy.

Delivering work which is at once theoretically rich and yet empirically informed this work will be of interest to students and scholars from a range of disciplines including International Relations, Development Studies, Critical Labour and Social Movement Studies, and Education. It will also be of relevance to activists and practitioners engaged in strategy development and education in various social movements.

Mario Novelli is Senior Lecturer in International Development at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. He is also a founding member of the UK-based Colombia Solidarity Campaign.

Anibel Ferus-Comelo has been engaged in labour research, education and training for the past ten years. She lives in India where she develops labour education material and continues research on corporate geography and labour standards in the Information Technology (IT) and the tourism industries.

Rethinking Globalizations

Edited by Barry K. Gills, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK

This series is designed to break new ground in the literature on globalization and its academic and popular understanding. Rather than perpetuating or simply reacting to the economic understanding of globalization, this series seeks to capture the term and broaden its meaning to encompass a wide range of issues and disciplines and convey a sense of alternative possibilities for the future.
