Handbook of Research on the Global Political Economy of Work

This 724-page Handbook develops a global and intersectional approach to the political economy of work, labour relations and workers. It examines exploitation, class formation, capital accumulation, migration, digital and reproductive labour, trade unionism, workers’ resistance and social movements. Contributors address workers’ control, self-management, the gig economy, climate struggles, global value chains, informal labour and the connections between work in the Global North and South. The volume combines theoretical debates with case studies from Asia, Africa, South America and other regions. Editors: Maurizio Atzeni, Dario Azzellini, Alessandra Mezzadri, Phoebe Moore and Ursula Apitzsch. Publisher: Edward Elgar, 2023.
