We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Free Trade and Transnational Labour" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Free trade strategies have increasingly become a problem for the international labour movement. While trade unions in the North especially in manufacturing have supported free trade agreements to secure export markets for their companies, trade unions in the Global South oppose these agreements, since they often imply deindustrialisation. Especially the expansion of the free trade agenda into services, public procurement, investment, intellectual property rights as well as investor to state dispute settlement provisions are considered to be problematic.The purpose of this volume is to understand better these dynamics underlying free trade policy-making in order to explore possibilities for transnational labour solidarity. Bringing together labour academics with trade union researchers and social movement activists, this volume moves from conceptual reflections about the impact of free trade via the analysis of struggles around free trade agreements to considerations of concrete alternatives.This book was published as a special issue of Globalizations.

Free Trade and Transnational Labour

Free trade strategies have increasingly become a problem for the international labour movement. While trade unions in the North, especially in manufacturing, have supported free trade agreements to secure export markets for their companies, trade unions in the Global South oppose these agreements, since they often imply deindustrialisation. Especially, the expansion of the free trade agenda into services, public procurement, investment, intellectual property rights as well as investor to state dispute settlement provisions are considered to be problematic.

The purpose of this volume is to understand better these dynamics underlying free trade policy-making in order to explore possibilities for transnational labour solidarity. Bringing together labour academics with trade union researchers and social movement activists, this volume moves from conceptual reflections about the impact of free trade via the analysis of struggles around free trade agreements to considerations of concrete alternatives.

Rethinking Globalizations

Edited by Barry K. Gills, Newcastle University, UK

This series is designed to break new ground in the literature on globalization and its academic and popular understanding.
