This book offers a timely analysis of work and labor processes and how they are rapidly changing under globalization. The contributors explore traditional sectors of the U.S. and world economies - from auto to steel to agriculture - as well as work under new production arrangements, such as third world export processing zones. Many chapters analyze changing dynamics of gender, nationality, and class. The contributors explain why more intensified forms of control by the state and by capital interests are emerging under globalization. Yet they also emphasize new possibilities for labor, including new forms of organizing and power sharing in a rapidly changing economy.

Industry Reviews

Berch Berberoglu has edited a useful and intelligent text on the political economy of the labor process in the age of the ascendancy of global capitalism. The essays illustrate the varied forms of labor control and exploitation by the transnational corporations of the dominant imperialist states. Both in scope and depth, this book provides an informed and comprehensive overview of the field of labor studies in the age of imperialism.--James Petras, Professor of Sociology, State University of New York at Binghamton
