  • "This volume features essays on labour relations at national, local, and workplace levels, as economic and political actors cope with the similar challenges associated with economic adjustment measures and the impact of 'globalization'"
  • "The Politics of Labor in a Global Age analyses and compares changing patterns of labour relations in late-industrializing and post-socialist economies. The volume features original and timely essays on the distinctive responses to common economic pressures associated with globalization as late-developing economies engage in economic liberalization and post-socialist economies cope with the dismantling of command economies. - ;The Politics of Labor in a Global Age is one of the first works to analyse and compare recent shifts in patterns of industrial relations across late-industrializing and post-socialist economies. The volume features original and timely essays on labor relations at national, local, and workplace levels, as economic and political actors cope with the similar challenges associated iwth economic adjustement measures and the impact 'globalization'. The authors reveal that while globalization has threatened the position of organized labour and prompted business and state elites to accommodate greater labor market flexibility, the legacies of past institutions remain evident in distinctive trends in labor politics within and across late-industrializing and post-socialist settings. The comparisons suggest that globalization is best understood not as a source of convergence but at a set of common pressures that are mediated by specific historical inheritances, that spur varied responses on the part of industrial relations actors, and that facilitate quite diverse institutional outcomes."

The authors reveal that globalization has weakened organized labor, yet they explain that distinct labor institutions persist despite similar economic adjustment measures."
