The Globalization of Organized Labour

Myconos explores the ways in which organized labour has globalized since 1945. Using two \'touchstone\' indicators - the extent of cross-border integration, and the autonomy vis-a-vis the state - the book reveals a counterintuitive process: network globalization involves a continuing orientation towards the state. The book not only seeks to identify organized labour\'s trajectory on the macro plane, but also to provide a more precise meaning of the term \'globalization\' as it relates to agency.
