Organized Labour in the 21st Century

Edited by A.V. Jose

Publisher : International Institute of Labour Studies, Geneve.

Click to Enlarge		The last quarter of the twentieth century was a period of profound social and economic transformation which has far-reaching implications for organized labour. In many countries, the numerical strength of unions declined, and the viability of labour market institutions, which unions helped establish, has been called into question.
Globalization and its ramifications present a formidablechallenge which requires new approaches and strategies on the part of the labour movement if it is to remain a major actor influencing social policy. This volume presents a representative sample of the comparative research undertaken by the International Institute for Labour Studies to study the ways in which trade unions have responded to challenges arising from globalization. The essays in this volume include selected country case studies on the theme "Trade union responses to globalization".
