Globalization and labour

a review of the literature

Abstract

In this review I study the debate on globalization and its relation with labour in the contem­porary world. Mainly including British authors that represent the most important theoretical approches on this subject, it stresses critical views about the dominant notion of globalization. Besides, I show that different conceptions of globalization imply in different ways of under­standing the very relationship between globalization and recent changes on labour. Finally, I suggest how to deal with this relationship from a critical point ot view.
