Labour History in the Semi-periphery. Southern Europe, 19th20th centuries

Introduction
This book contains 14 studies on the nineteenth- and twentieth-century labour history of Southern Europe (expanded to include Austria, the subject of one of the chapters where we also find migrants from Southern Europe). The volume is divided into four parts. Part one contains chapters that examine small enterprises and small ownership in relation to labour. The chapters in part two discuss aspects of formal and informal labour, as well as family patterns. The third part focuses on industrial labour relations in Southern Europe, while in the fourth and final part labour on the sea and in the shipyards of the Mediterranean is investigated.
In this introduction we first explain how we understand the concepts of Southern Europe and the semi-periphery that appear in the title of the book. We then discuss the existing literature and studies of labour history that transcend national borders. We end with a brief presentation of the studies in the volume and their main arguments, which cover four pillars: the tendency towards independent work and the role of culture; forms of labour management (from paternalistic policies to the provision of welfare capitalism); the importance of the institutional framework and the wider political context; and womens labour and gender relations.
