Book Synopsis From Coldwar Communism to the Global Emancipatory Movement by : Peter Waterman
Download or read book From Coldwar Communism to the Global Emancipatory Movement written by Peter Waterman and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2014-12-12 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boaventura de Sousa Santos says: 'This is an admirable memoir of an intellectual activist who has lived most intensely the progressive struggles of the last sixty years of world history, because despite being born in Europe, Peter, in the best tradition of communist internationalism, participated in struggles and movements, not only in Central and Eastern Europe, but also in Africa and most recently in Latin America. But this is much more than a memoir. It is so well documented that in this personal experience there are reflected some of the most decisive events of contemporary history. It is a living history book. But even more than this, this book is so clearly and vividly written that at times it reads like the script for an imaginary documentary of our times. This book should be read by all concerned with our recent history in order to get a much more complex inside view of what happened while it was happening. In particular it should be read by the youth in order to get a close-up of the difficulties and possibilities in building another possible world at a time where there existed a vibrant international communist movement. It is up to such youth to evaluate whether difficulties are now or more daunting, the possibilities less of more luminous.'
Book Synopsis Solidarity: A Structural Principle of International Law by : Rüdiger Wolfrum

This book was released on 2010-03-20 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a high-level scholarly discussion on whether the concept of solidarity functions as a structural principle of international law and to what extent it has become a full-fledged legal principle. Each contributor addresses these questions by examining normative operations of the principle of solidarity in different branches of international law – including international disaster law, international humanitarian law, the law of development cooperation and international environmental law – as well as the relationship between the principle of solidarity and other legal principles such as the responsibility to protect and intergenerational equity.

Book excerpt: In a political climate where loose talk of a "third way" passes for political idealism, Waterman's passionate book examines the possibilities for a new style global solidarity suited to complex capitalist modernity.

Book Synopsis Globalization and Labour in the Twenty-First Century by : Verity Burgmann
Download or read book Globalization and Labour in the Twenty-First Century written by Verity Burgmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.tandfebooks.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license.Globalization has adversely affected working-class organization and mobilization, increasing inequality by redistribution upwards from labour to capital. However, workers around the world are challenging their increased exploitation by globalizing corporations. In developed countries, many unions are transforming themselves to confront employer power in ways more appropriate to contemporary circumstances; in developing countries, militant new labour movements are emerging. Drawing upon insights in anti-determinist Marxian perspectives, Verity Burgmann shows how working-class resistance is not futile, as protagonists of globalization often claim. She identifies eight characteristics of globalization harmful to workers and describes and analyses how they have responded collectively to these problems since 1990 and especially this century. With case studies from around the world, including Greece since 2008, she pays particular attention to new types of labour movement organization and mobilization that are not simply defensive reactions but are offensive and innovative responses that compel corporations or political institutions to change. Aging and less agile manifestations of the labour movement decline while new expressions of working-class organization and mobilization arise to better battle with corporate globalization. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of labour studies, globalization, political economy, Marxism and sociology of work.
Book Synopsis No Truck with the Chilean Junta! by : Ann Jones
Download or read book No Truck with the Chilean Junta! written by Ann Jones and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When lorry drivers in Northampton slapped stickers on their cabs declaring ‘No truck with the Chilean Junta!’ they were doing more than threatening to boycott. They were asserting their own identity as proud unionists and proud internationalists. But what did trade unionists really know of what was happening in Chile? And how could someone else’s oppression become a means to solidify your own identity? The labour movements of Britain and Australia used ‘Chile’ as an impetus for action and to give meaning to their own political expression, though it was not all smooth sailing. Throughout the 1970s, social movements and unions alternately clashed and melded, and those involved with ‘Chile’ were also caught within the unhappy marriage of the cross-cultural left. This book draws together the events and stories of these complex times.

Book Synopsis Beyond Concrete and Steel by : Elisabeth Mayer-Rieckh
Download or read book Beyond Concrete and Steel written by Elisabeth Mayer-Rieckh and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most refugee contexts the critical need for 'protection' is very real. This study focuses on Vietnamese asylum seekers in detention centres in Hong Kong. Particular attention is paid to Vietnamese women and the forms of suffering they endure because of their gender identity. The author aptly discloses the social, economic and cultural constructions which nurture what ought to be considered an embarrassing status quo and she proposes that a relationship exists between the violence Vietnamese women in detention have to endure and the imbalance of power-sharing. The origins of such violence are said to be the functions of the institutions set up for asylum seekers and reflect the cultural norms regarding women as possessions of men. The author sees listening to the voices of the Vietnamese asylum seekers in general and women in particular as a first step to improve their rights and increase their choices. Hence she links self-empowerment of people to understanding of their interests, concerns and needs as well as becoming aware of their resources. Follow-up in the form of a second step must then be dedicated to efforts that make the voices of Vietnamese men, women and children in detention in Hong Kong heard. Such action, the author concludes, might press the international community to respond by working towards a legal and humanitarian framework for asylum seekers and their particular needs that go beyond 'Concrete and Steel'.
