Results and ProspectsReviewsThis book will be a basic reference work for the next decade. For labour organizers and educators, students and academics, it is going to be at the centre of debate on international labour and labour internationalism!' - Peter Waterman, author of 'Globalization, Social Movements and the New Internationalisms' 'Trade unions now have an existential question to answer: What is their role in the 21st century where national solutions no longer have meaning but an effective labour response to globalization still awaits theory, let alone practice' Ronaldo Munck's important new book is the best discussion of this major issue. Taking argument well beyond the tired 20th century Cold War discussion of labour internationalism he asks challenging questions about the new cliches thrown up by the localist protectionists associated with anti-globalization and the Seattle protest movements. There is only one important question in politics - how to make the world fair, democratic and peaceful. This book is a major contribution to answering that question and should be read by all who believe that working people should have some say over how the 21st century is shaped.' - Denis MacShane, MP, House of Commons 'A truly global perspective on 'globalisation', combining sensitive critical discussion of competing theories with a wealth of information on trends in work and labour struggle around the world.' - Richard Hyman, Professor of Industrial Relations, London School of Economics and Editor of the European Journal of Industrial Relations 'This is an important book. Ronaldo Munck has one core theme - the centrality of labour to the project of economic globalisation. Here under sharp focus are the key issues being faced by a global labour movement looking hard at its future.' - Stuart Howard, Assistant General Secretary, International Transport Workers Federation Author InformationRonaldo Munck is professor of political sociology and director of the Globalization and Social Exclusion Unit at the University of Liverpool.
