Overview

"Can organized labour survive in a globalizing world? ""Going Global"" explores the impact of increasingly globalized manufacturing on the labour movement in the industrialized West. In a detailed comparative study of metalworking and textiles unions in the United States, Sweden and Germany James A. Piazza reveals an international labour movement under threat, crippled by falling union membership and waning political influence. Piazza illustrates - through statistical analysis and industry-specific case studies - organized labour's urgent need for effective structures of collective bargaining, strong political connections and democratic workplace institutions. ""Going Global"" should be of great interest to scholars of international political economy and industrial relations seeking a blueprint for organized labour's survival in the new global economy."
