Varieties of Unionism / Carola Frege

Public ISBD Titre : Varieties of Unionism : Strategies for Union Revitalization in a Globalizing Economy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Carola Frege, Auteur ; John Kelly, Auteur Editeur : Oxford [UK] : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2006 Importance : 215 p Note générale : 05.02 FRE Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Syndicalisme Tags : Syndicalisme  Lutte sociale  Histoire ouvrière  Mondialisation Index. décimale : 05.02 Syndicalisme Résumé : As unions face an ongoing crisis all over the industrialized world, they have often been portrayed as outmoded remnants of an old economic structure. This book argues that despite structural shifts in the economy and in politics, unions retain important functions for capitalist economies as well as for political democracy. Union revitalization in the face of their current difficulties is therefore of fundamental importance. This book charts the strategies unions use to respond to global union decline and to revive their fortunes in five countries — the liberal market economies of the US and the UK; the coordinated economy of Germany and the Mediterranean economies of Italy and Spain — thus providing a wide range of institutional settings, union structures, identities, and union responses. Each chapter provides a comparative analysis of a particular strategy, looking in turn at union organizing, social partnership, political action, organizational restructuring, coalition-building, and international action. It provides a rich source of documentation about union activity, but more importantly it goes beyond description to address two of the big questions in comparative research: How can we explain cross-country differences in union responses to global decline? And how effective are these actions in helping to revitalize national labour movements?
