Dynamics of Globalization: Transnational Capital and the International Labor Movement
The chapter explores the theoretical, historical, & economic transformations informing the current dialectic between the globalization of capital & international labor's response to the transnationalization of social relations & working-class exploitation. While the fledgling transnational labor movement is as yet split between reformist & radical factions, the emergence of a "new popular internationalism" nonetheless indicates progress in coalition building beyond nation-specific labor interests, enhancing worldwide political as well as labor-class consciousness.
