Abstract:
The volume collects the papers, duly revised and equipped with footnotes, presented at the conference "Values ​​and Techniques in Labour Law", which was held in Florence on 20 and 21 September 2019, with the ambition to bring together in a single debate, although addressed by different perspectives, the topic of values ​​and that of legal techniques, which often tend to proceed on their own ways, without seizing the reciprocal relationships. The volume is divided into four sections ("The values ​​of labour law", "The employer’s powers and their limits", "The dismissals", "The non-standard and flexible contracts"), which explains the diversity of the thematic approaches but also the useful overlaps between the essays and the recurrence of some topics, first of all that of dismissal.

Abstract:
The monograph examines migration processes in the Russian Federation, the use of foreign experience for their regulation. The authors have developed the principles of inclusion of foreign citizens in the social and economic development of regions, methods of using the social order tool in the implementation of the tasks of the state migration policy, methodology for determining the migration potential of Russian regions. Important results of the work were: the author's methodology for assessing the social and economic inclusion of foreign workers in the migration-attractive regions of the Russian Federation; ranking the regions of the Russian Federation by classes of migration attractiveness using mathematical methods of operations research; recommendations on the use of an organized recruitment mechanism to attract foreign workers to work in Russia. For students, postgraduates and teachers of economic universities and faculties, as well as for a wide range of readers interested in migration processes.

Abstract:
The resource squeeze and uncertainty exacerbated by marketization can lead to disorganization trends in employment relations and tight management control in the labor process. This chapter presents findings from interviews with managers, worker representatives, and front-line workers concerning worker voice, pay setting, job insecurity, performance management, professional autonomy, and staff–client interactions. Management control in the labor process is directly related to the quality of the service, since they include the amount of interaction (whether there is a speedup), its nature (whether it is narrowly focused on job outcomes), and its distribution (whether there is creaming and parking). We show that the extent to which these outcomes differ within countries depends on degrees of resource scarcity and uncertainty specific to each market segment.

Abstract:
This article aims to outline how an apparently positive feature of organizational life can also be considered a focus of concern. It starts with an outline of some of the variations in Marxist and Labour Process debates, along with discussion of those debates within political science that have had most impact on discussions in industrial relations, especially the debate on corporatism. The article then moves to a discussion of critical accounts of the broad notion of participation within capitalist economies at various levels. It explains why forms of worker participation are both the subject of political demands by various constituencies, yet are also a cause of concern in the way they have evolved. Finally, the article outlines some of the challenges facing critical and, in particular, Marxist and Labour Process approaches to the debates on participation.

Abstract:
Indonesian labour law was transformed after the fall of Soeharto, with workers granted many freedoms they had been denied under his rule. This chapter explains the rights and duties of workers and employers in Indonesia today, including those relating to conditions of employment, minimum wages, overtime, leave, social security, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity guarantees, and termination of employment (including severance pay). Attention is paid to the rules applicable to women, children, and foreign workers, and to unions, collective bargaining, and the right to strike (including the requirements for legal industrial action). Case studies are provided and sub-contracting rules are covered. The chapter closes with an evaluation of Indonesia’s problematic industrial dispute resolution process, including the much-criticized Industrial Relations Court.

Abstract:
Mixing personal history, interviewee voices, and academic theory from the fields of care work, the sociology of work, medical sociology, and nursing, this book introduces us to the hidden world of family caregivers. Using a multidimensional approach, the book seeks to understand and analyze the types of skilled work that family caregivers do, the processes through which they learn and negotiate new skills, and the meanings that both caregivers and nurses attach to their care work. The book is based on sixty-two in-depth interviews with family caregivers, home and community health-care nurses, and other expert observers to provide a lens through which in-home care processes are analyzed, while also exploring how caregivers learn necessary procedures. Further, the book examines the emotional labor of caregiving, as well as the identities of caregivers and nurses who are key players in the labor process, and gives attention to the ways in which the labor is transferred from medical professionals to family caregivers.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter defends an indirect model of public justification, which relieves ordinary citizens of the burdens of public reason and imposes them only on public officials, and especially on elected partisans. The chapter further defends the view that public officials ought to hold each other accountable with regard to their use of public reasons, without the need for direct scrutiny by ordinary citizens, and that they ought to be responsive to citizens’ non-public reasons, and endeavour to find an internal connection between those and public reasons. This twofold process of horizontal and vertical accountability, the chapter claims, especially applies to elected partisans. The chapter concludes by illustrating how the two most popular electoral systems, first-past-the-post (FPTP) and proportional representation (PR), can be more or less conducive to this bifurcated process of public justification.

Abstract:
This book, in honour of Kaushik Basu, celebrates his contributions over the last four decades. It contains contributions by his present and past collaborators, and research students. Not only has Basu worked on several deeper abstract issues in welfare analysis and decision making, he has also addressed, both as a researcher and as a policy advisor, several policy issues such as rent control, child labour, labour laws, harassment, shared prosperity, and gender empowerment. The contributions from authors in this volume, theoretical as well as empirical, reflect this range of issues in the broader context of interactions between markets, governance, and institutions in the process of economic development. The broader roles of markets as key resource allocation mechanisms cannot be disputed. But they need suitable governance structures and institutions, working both as facilitators and as regulators. The book looks at the complex interactions between these three forces of development. The book has three parts. In Part I, contributors look at various foundational and measurement issues associated with economic development and well-being. Part II deals with the functioning (and non-functioning) of markets in the context of development, showing how we may need to move beyond the market. In Part III, the final part, contributors look at various issues related to governance and institutions in terms of their overall structure and specific designs.

Abstract:
Labor markets have the three R functions of recruiting workers, remunerating them to encourage them to perform their jobs satisfactorily, and retaining experienced and productive workers. Employers in one country and jobs in another complicate these three Rs, especially recruitment, which is why both employers and workers often turn to private recruiters to act as intermediaries between jobs and workers. Recruiters are most deeply involved in the second phase of the four-phase labor migration process—matching workers with jobs. Indeed, the fact that recruiters rarely visit the workplaces to which they send workers, and do not always expect to send more workers to particular employers, reduces their incentives to make good worker–job matches.

Full text
Abstract:
Throughout the industrialized world, international migrants serve as nannies, construction workers, gardeners and small-business entrepreneurs. Labor Movement suggests that the international migration of workers is necessary for the survival of industrialized economies. The book thus turns the conventional view of international migration on its head: it investigates how migration regulates labor markets, rather than labor markets shaping migration flows. Assuming a critical view of orthodox economic theory, the book illustrates how different legal, social and cultural strategies towards international migrants are deployed and coordinated within the wider neo-liberal project to render migrants and immigrants vulnerable, pushing them into performing distinct economic roles and into subordinate labor market situations. Drawing on social theories associated with Pierre Bourdieu and other prominent thinkers, Labor Movement suggests that migration regulates labor markets through processes of social distinction, cultural judgement and the strategic deployment of citizenship. European and North American case studies illustrate how the labor of international migrants is systematically devalued and how popular discourse legitimates the demotion of migrants to subordinate labor. Engaging with various immigrant groups in different cities, including South Asian immigrants in Vancouver, foreigners and Spätaussiedler in Berlin, and Mexican and Caribbean offshore workers in rural Ontario, the studies seek to unravel the complex web of regulatory labor market processes related to international migration. Recognizing and understanding these processes, Bauder argues, is an important step towards building effective activist strategies and for envisioning new roles for migrating workers and people. The book is a valuable resource to researchers and students in economics, ethnic and migration studies, geography, sociology, political science, and to frontline activists in Europe, North America and beyond.

Abstract:
This chapter examines labour rights under Article 17 of the Declaration, showing that Article 17 was intended to guarantee to indigenous peoples and individuals fair and equal treatment under labour law at both the international and domestic levels. As was clear from the drafting process, Article 17 opens up the protection afforded under the wider standards adopted by the United Nations and by the International Labour Organization (ILO), among others, to indigenous and tribal peoples as they endeavour to support themselves and their families. Moreover, Article 17 reaches into existing human rights law on labour matters and incorporate those concepts in the broad and comprehensive treatment of indigenous rights covered by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). It also draws attention to the need to apply generally applicable international labour law, as well as domestic labour law, to these peoples who so often are neglected in its application.

Full text
Abstract:
Division of labor involves task division and task allocation. An extremely important consequence of task division and allocation is the creation of interdependence between agents. In fact, division of labor can be seen as a process that converts interdependence between tasks into interdependence between agents. While there are many ways in which the task structure can be chunked and divided among agents, two important heuristic approaches involve division of labor by activity vs. object. I show that a choice between these two forms of division of labor only arises when the task structure is non-decomposable, but the product itself is decomposable. When the choice arises, a key criterion for selection between activity vs. object-based division of labor is the gain from specialization relative to the gain from customization.

Flint, Colin. Geographic Perspectives on World-Systems Theory. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acrefore/9780190846626.013.196.

Full text
Abstract:
World-systems theory is a multidisciplinary, macro-scale approach to world history and social change which emphasizes the world-system as the primary (but not exclusive) unit of social analysis. “World-system” refers to the inter-regional and transnational division of labor, which divides the world into core countries, semi-periphery countries, and the periphery countries. Though intrinsically geographical, world-systems perspectives did not receive geographers’ attention until the 1980s, mostly in economic and political geography. Nevertheless, geographers have made important contributions in shaping world-systems perspectives through theoretical development and critique, particularly in the understanding of urban processes, states, and geopolitics. The world-systems theory can be considered as a sub-discipline of the study of political geography. Although sharing many of the theories, methods, and interests as human geography, political geography has a particular interest in territory, the state, power, and boundaries (including borders), across a range of scales from the body to the planet. Political geography has extended the scope of traditional political science approaches by acknowledging that the exercise of power is not restricted to states and bureaucracies, but is part of everyday life. This has resulted in the concerns of political geography increasingly overlapping with those of other sub-disciplines such as economic geography, and, particularly, with those of social and cultural geography in relation to the study of the politics of place.

Arneil, Barbara. Domestic Colonies. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198803423.001.0001.

Full text
Abstract:
Colonization is generally defined as a process by which states settle and dominate foreign lands or peoples. Thus, modern colonies are assumed to be outside Europe and the colonized non-European. This volume contends such definitions of the colony, the colonized, and colonization need to be fundamentally rethought in light of hundreds of ‘domestic colonies’ proposed and/or created by governments and civil society organizations initially within Europe in the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries and then beyond. The three categories of domestic colonies in this book are labour colonies for the idle poor, farm colonies for the mentally ill, and disabled and utopian colonies for racial, religious, and political minorities. All of these domestic colonies were justified by an ideology of domestic colonialism characterized by three principles: segregation, agrarian labour, improvement, through which, in the case of labour and farm colonies, the ‘idle’, ‘irrational’, and/or custom-bound would be transformed into ‘industrious and rational’ citizens while creating revenues for the state to maintain such populations. Utopian colonies needed segregation from society so their members could find freedom, work the land, and challenge the prevailing norms of the society around them. Defended by some of the leading progressive thinkers of the period, including Alexis de Tocqueville, Abraham Lincoln, Peter Kropotkin, Robert Owen, Tommy Douglas, and Booker T. Washington, the turn inward to colony not only provides a new lens with which to understand the scope of colonization and colonialism in modern history but a critically important way to distinguish ‘the colonial’ from ‘the imperial’ in Western political theory and practice.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter provides a transnational analysis of the ways in which migrant workers are placed at the sharp end of migration control based on gendered and racialized notions of domestic labour. Migrant women from the Philippines to Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia are routinely subjected to an extensive and diffuse process of surveillance and social sorting beyond the geographic border and criminal justice system. In their country of origin, women’s mobilities are conditioned by their willingness to produce a documented identity as good women and disciplined workers. In their countries of destination, they are subjected to a range of state and non-state monitoring processes that seek to racially assign and keep different sorts of migrant women in their place as foreign residents and disposable workers. Ultimately, differential inclusion remains underpinned by a criminal justice system that can bear down heavily on migrants through the threat of criminalization, detention, and deportation.

Full text
Abstract:
Chapter 1 establishes Michael Jackson’s deindustriality, which is too frequently ignored in favor of white artists like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever or Bruce Springsteen. Jackson is the exemplary transitional subject of the deindustrial; his popularity peaked as manufacturing sector contractions became increasingly visible as national problems. His racial assertiveness and virtuosic dancing marked his own extraordinary social mobility while conjuring an industrial imaginary that was both fictively racially inclusive and apparently in the process of collapsing. Jackson simultaneously incarnated the trope of the human motor—one of the defining figures of industrial modernity—and offered a compelling, cruelly optimistic spectacle of the exceptional individual’s ability to glide away from this collapse with pleasure, precision, and hard work. The chapter also offers a theory of virtuosity as a relational process linking performers to audiences and, in Jackson’s case, accounting for his status as an icon of deindustrial mobility.

Full text
Abstract:
The European Network on Regional Labour Market Monitoring publishes annual anthologies to gather perspectives from all over Europe and beyond on current topics related to regional and local labour markets. In the anthology of 2021, over 30 network members from ten countries reflect on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and state interventions or other measures in different localities and circumstances. They provide analyses on a variety of framework conditions of regional and local labour markets and their influence on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the authors shed light on state interventions and other measures from a comparative perspective. Discussions on the acceleration of social inequality, digitalisation and structural changes during the COVID-19 pandemic complement their multifaceted approaches. Overall, the authors provide information on data, as well as methodological and conceptual approaches that can be applied in regional and local labour market observatories to help regions and localities in their processes of digital, social and sustainable transition.

Abstract:
Communism, envisaged as a society of free and equal individuals succeeding capitalism, arises from the latter’s contradictions and is the outcome of the workers’ self-emancipatory revolution, which starts with their gaining political power as the first step in an ongoing process of revolutionary transformation up to the appearance of the new society. The latter is classless, hence stateless, and its mode of production is marked by the absence of private ownership in the means of production, of commodity production, including money, and of wage labour. The new mode of appropriation is collective and the labour of the individual is directly social. As regards the mode of distribution, society itself takes charge of allocating total labour time—dead and living—across the economy and of dividing the total product between production and consumption needs, and of determining the share of personal consumption in proportion to the individual’s share in common labour.

Full text
Abstract:
Basic theory analyses the entrepreneur's role in the economic system. Of the four conventional factors of production, namely: land, labour, capital, and organization (or entrepreneurship), objective demand and supply schedules are possible for the first three. By contrast, a demand curve for entrepreneurship cannot be drawn, as it is for the entrepreneurs themselves to decide whether or not to enter the production process as a freelancer. Harvey Leibenstein, a development economist, however, constructed a supply curve for entrepreneurs, linking their anticipations of per capita income growth with the rate of expansion of entrepreneurship in terms of their contribution to such growth in incomes. Hence many theorists portray the corporate drives of entrepreneurs as forward-looking ones. How, then, can biographies most satisfactorily discuss such drives in a chronological narrative of a life from cradle to the grave? Childhood influences, such as premature responsibilities through a parent's death, and struggles for recognition in early adulthood have to be brought out, as well as the precise explanation of finally winning through.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter examines the evolution of gendered division of labor in the factories and at home. In the 1940s and 1950s, potteries hired increasing numbers of women to fill more and more roles in the production process. The fact that pottery wages fell behind steel wages in these decades contributed to the declining percentage of men in the potteries as they sought a family wage. At home, women and men fell back into more familiar gender roles as they produced their own food, made their own clothing, and built their own houses. Rural-industrial workers believed in “making do” to stretch their family income, performing self-help activities that harked back to older work patterns on the farms that many of them had left behind. Thus, there were two gender divisions of labor operating in parallel: one at home and another in the factory, one derived from rural self-sufficiency and the other from industrial production.

Abstract:
This chapter examines how Puerto Ricans in Hawaiʻi filed labor complaints and protests. It shows that, unlike other labor groups in Hawaiʻi, Puerto Rican intra-colonials never had a dedicated local government representative—a leadership vacuum that resulted in both negative and positive effects on the Puerto Rican community in the islands. It describes the slow, cumbersome, and apathetic bureaucratic colonial communication hierarchy that Puerto Rican laborers had to endure in their home region, Washington, D.C., and the Territory of Hawaiʻi when they filed complaints about life in the islands. This is evident in the case of Pedro Guzman and twenty-five other Puerto Ricans who filed their complaint in 1919. The absence of an effective regional representative, coupled with the hierarchical grievance process, meant that Puerto Rican intracolonial needs were often ignored or disregarded. However, the lack of an official leader in the islands also gave Puerto Rican labor migrants a degree of control and independence over their labor experiences in Hawaiian sugar plantations.

Abstract:
Chapter 1 defines the volume’s key terms: domestic colonization as the process of segregating idle, irrational, and/or custom-bound groups of citizens by states and civil society organizations into strictly bounded parcels of ‘empty’ rural land within their own nation state in order to engage them in agrarian labour and ‘improve’ both the land and themselves and domestic colonialism as the ideology that justifies this process, based on its economic (offsets costs) and ethical (improves people) benefits. The author examines and differentiates her own research from previous literatures on ‘internal colonialism’ and argues that her analysis challenges postcolonial scholarship in four important ways: colonization needs to be understood as a domestic as well as foreign policy; people were colonized based on class, disability, and religious belief as well as race; domestic colonialism was defended by socialists and anarchists as well as liberal thinkers; and colonialism and imperialism were quite distinct ideologies historically even if they are often difficult to distinguish in contemporary postcolonial scholarship—put simply—the former was rooted in agrarian labour and the latter in domination. This chapter concludes with a summary of the remaining chapters.

Abstract:
In 1958, Britain and Denmark both advocated closer European cooperation through the looser framework of the Free Trade Area (FTA) rather than membership of the nascent European Economic Community (EEC). By 1972, however, the situation had changed drastically. The FTA was a long-forgotten concept. Its replacement, the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), was deemed economically and politically inept. Now, at the third time of asking, both countries were on the verge of joining the EEC as full members. This book offers a compelling comparative analysis of how the European policies of the British Labour Party and the Danish Social Democrats (SD) evolved amid this environment. Based on material from twelve archives in four countries, it updates our knowledge of how the parties reacted to key moments in the integration process, including the formative stages of the EEC in 1958–60 and the negotiations for British and Danish EEC membership in 1961–63, 1967 and 1970–72. More innovatively, this book argues that, amid an array of national and international constraints, the reciprocal influence exerted by Labour and the SD on each other via informal party contacts was itself a crucial determinant in their European policymaking. In so doing, this work sheds light on the sources of Labour European thinking, the role of small states like Denmark in the European integration process, and the place of Anglo-Scandinavian relations in the broader story of contemporary British foreign policy.

Abstract:
Writings on women workers in the global economy have generally taken as their starting point the rise in female employment in industries in the light manufacturing for export sector. Another issue covered by the literature on gender and labor is migration, where the racialized as well as gendered nature of employment is thrown into sharp focus. Migration has been a major concern in much of the recent feminist literature on gender and employment is because one of the most significant features of contemporary processes of migration has been the feminization of these flows. But given the ways in which women workers both in export sector factories and as migrant domestic workers are subject to harsh workplace practices, social stigmatization, and systems of intense workplace control, the possibilities for resistance and change for some of these groups of workers are considered as well. Three intersecting literatures that focus on the topic of resistance to regimes of labor control in a variety of different workplaces (including the household) are discussed: first, those that focus on “everyday” forms of resistance; second, those that look more at resistance as an organized political strategy taking the form of trade union activism or involving nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); and third is a literature that considers the possibilities and limitations of a wider politics of resistance offered by things like corporate codes of conduct and corporate social responsibility.
