Drawing on relevant sociological insights, and based on extensive, up-to-date research studies of work and employment, it brings together for the first time in a single volume a range of key topics, including: consumption, work and identity in a globalizing world; work and employment in multinationals; international labour standards; trade unions, labour movements and labour conflict under globalization; gender and inequality; migrant labour; transnational mobility; and the organization of work in global factories. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlobalization and Work\u003c\/i\u003e challenges conceptions of globalization as a project orchestrated by governments, multinational companies and international agencies.
