Book Synopsis Globalism/Localism at Work by : Jorge Carrillo Viveros
Download or read book Globalism/Localism at Work written by Jorge Carrillo Viveros and published by Jorge Carrillo Viveros. This book was released on 2004-12-30 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume the focus is on the interrelations of the global and the local in their consequences for work. The process of restructuring of work is analyzed as an ongoing, locally situated process in which actors within work organizations play an important role. Nevertheless, when taking the context of work organizations into account, the increasing importance of the global on the local processes is obvious. Local practices keep their central importance, but the global doesn't function only as a context for the local anymore but forms more and more a practice of itself in which an increasing number of actors play their part.As we can see on the World Wide Web, people and firms are both emitters and receptors and act on the local and global level at the same time. Local diversity in a world with increasing interdependencies is shown in a number of contributions from different parts of the world. These contributions are clustered around two main themes: Labor markets in global and local scenarios - From industry to services; Global industries - Restructuring and local jobs. The many case studies presented shed light to the diversity that occurs in different local situations.

Book Synopsis Globalism, Localism and Identity by : Tim O'Riordan
Download or read book Globalism, Localism and Identity written by Tim O'Riordan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global economic and social forces are affecting everyone, everywhere. However, their influence is shaped by local communities' interpretation of these forces and responses to them. Social identities provide a guide; they are the product of history, culture, economy, patterns of governance and degree of community cohesion. How the global and the local connect and reconfigure at various scales and through different cultures is explained in this forward-looking volume. The book's thesis, namely that localism is the crucial complement to globalism, is supported by a range of European case studies. Local responses to globalizing forces depend on the nature of the interlinkages in governance from international structures, through multilateral organizations to nation states, regions and localities, as these are mediated through social-local identity. The contributors draw on numerous themes in examining the interaction between the global and the local, such as decay and revitalization, local identity and empowerment, opportunism through sustainability and governance for the transition. This is a pioneering publication utilizing an innovative person-centred methodology. It makes an original and important contribution to the study of contemporary societies and is aimed at anyone interested in the social, economic, political, cultural and environmental implications of any move towards sustainability.

In den 1970er Jahren war aus einem lokalen Familienbetrieb einer der weltweit führenden Hersteller geworden.0Die von der Firma gesponserte Fußballmannschaft spielte in der ersten Liga. Einige Jahre später war der Name FACIT verschwunden ? aufgerieben vom internationalen Kapitalismus. The FACIT Model betrachtet diesen merkwürdigen Auswuchs der unternehmerischen Moderne anhand der Drucksachen, die in den hauseigenen Druckereien von FACIT entstanden sind. Schriftmuster, Anleitungen, Werbebroschüren und Produktkataloge zeugen von einer Kultur, in der viele Codes und Formen der heutigen Arbeitswelt bestimmt und erfunden wurden. 'The FACIT Model' dokumentiert die visuelle Forschung, die Our Polite Society im Archiv von FACIT AB durchgeführt hat. 00Exhibition: Stichting fanfare, Amsterdam, Netherlands (06.04 - 22.04.2019) / FACIT Museum, Åtvidaberg, Sweden (01.07. - 29.09.2019).
Book Synopsis Localist Movements in a Global Economy by : David J. Hess
Download or read book Localist Movements in a Global Economy written by David J. Hess and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1990s, more than 100 local business organizations have formed in the United States, and there are growing efforts to build local ownership in the retail, food, energy, transportation, and media industries. In this first social science study of localism, Hess adopts an interdisciplinary approach that combines theoretical reflection, empirical research, and policy analysis. His perspective is not that of an uncritical localist advocate; he draws on his new empirical research to assess the extent to which localist policies can address sustainability and justice issues.

Book Synopsis Globalization and Culture at Work by : Stuart C. Carr
Download or read book Globalization and Culture at Work written by Stuart C. Carr and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-01-16 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behaviour at work can no longer be stereotyped as global or local – modern or traditional – with very little in-between. Instead work behaviour is a complex interplay between Global and Local values. It takes place in a Glocality. Thus individual achievement co-exists with group aspirations, pay diversity takes place in a social context, teamwork reflects cultural narrative, and labour mobility is bound by community bias. Globalization and Culture at Work: Exploring their Combined Glocality breaks new ground by exploring such glocalities, and the implications they create for managing human potential better. The volume is essential reading for researchers, managers, culturalists and consultants of work behaviour alike.

Book Synopsis Social Regionalism in the Global Economy by : Adelle Blackett
Download or read book Social Regionalism in the Global Economy written by Adelle Blackett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-12-20 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regional trade agreements have expanded exponentially over the past decade, and have become a significant, if controversial, factor in the expanse of economic globalization. Social Regionalism in the Global Economy attempts to take a fresh, interdisciplinary approach to addressing labour regulation by drawing upon insights from industrial relations, comparative capitalism, and new governance schools of thought. It stands for the proposition that an interdisciplinary study of regional regulation holds the potential to offer a fuller account of social regionalism. Its focus is to consider how institutions and labour market actors reconstruct and renegotiate regulatory space in a changing economic environment characterized by regional impulses. It argues that there is a dynamic interplay between institutions and actors of social regulation. This interplay occurs at many levels. The book therefore maps both how actors shape institutions as well as how institutions shape social actors’ ability to affect regulatory processes. The editors bring together leading international specialists willing to move beyond textual analyses of regional agreements to offer alternative accounts of regional integration. The work emphasizes that institutional context and social actors at multiple governance levels are integral to the progressive construction and regulation of regional space. It further contributes to the literature by combining insights from overlooked regional entities in transition and developing countries with original analyses from the European Union and the NAFTA. These aims will be achieved by combining original research that is empirically grounded with theoretically informed analysis.
