Papers presented at the 52nd Annual Conference Indian Society of Labour Economics, held at Karnatak University during 17-19 December 2010.
Life: A Tapestry of emotions
The verses in the book represent a variety of emotions, viz. love for a child and a mother, intense longing of a lover, appreciation, even worshipping of beauty, anger and sensitivity relating to inequalities and unjust outcomes in the society, humanity for workers, agony and ecstasy in the spiritual realms, love for nature, among others. Hence the book’s title is, Life: A Tapestry of Emotions.The verses are at once sensuous and spiritual, simple and grand, emotive and philosophical, profound and at times profane, and majestic and commonplace. In a sense, the thematic sections under which the verses are classified reflect the evolution of a ‘person’ in me, from romance to social sensitivity to bhakti. To be sure, they can coexist as they did and do. Most verses are in English and some in Tamizh. I hope the readers enjoy the verses in the book and could possibly ‘relate’ to some experiences or imaginations contained therein.
Perspectives on Neoliberalism, Labour and Globalization in India
This book employs a variety of perspectives such as Institutional, Social Democratic, Marxist, Gender and Informal, Biblical and Dalit, to critically examine the impact of neo-liberal globalisation on both formal and informal sectors of the labour market and the industrial relations system. The narratives not only interrogate current institutions and paradigms, but also outline future developments.
Contemporary Reforms of Labour Market and Industrial Relations System in India
This volume, in honor of Prof L.K. Deshpande, provides rich and comprehensive insights into the contemporary labor law reform debates. Perhaps for the first time, it contains articles primarily from stakeholders in the industrial relations system, namely representatives of trade unions and employers, business consultants, and retired government officials, in addition to a few academics. These contributors bring diverse perspectives from their long-standing field experience, providing insight on the proposed reforms. More than a simple academic read, this volume fills a critical void in the literature on the ongoing debate about labor and governance reforms in India and their impact on both the ease of doing business and workers' rights.
Globalization, Labour Market Institutions, Processes and Policies in India
This book explores the effects of product market and labour market reforms on firms, labour institutions and labour rights in the economic and industrial relations system in India. India has over the years liberalized its economy through a broad range of reforms concerning the product market and complementing these it has also sought to reform the labour market and the industrial relations system. The book assesses the impact of these reforms on both the formal and informal labour markets in India, critically examines the labour processes and uncovers/describes precarious conditions of labour in various industries and occupations, and analyzes the dynamics involved in the making of industrial, employment and labour policies in contemporary India.
Trade Unions in Asia
Offering a comprehensive account of the role played by trade unions in Asia, this book focuses on the strategies they have adopted to represent workers, and discusses the issues surrounding wages and working conditions, health and safety, women‘s employment opportunities and human resource development.
In the Valley of Historical Time
The descent of working class movements that began with neoliberal globalization is nearing completion. However, the ascent is yet to begin. This period is witnessing novel forms of organization and resistance. For students, activists and academics, it is imperative to understand changes in the modus operandi of capital since the 1970s to explain the crisis of conventional trade unionism, as well as the spontaneous outbursts of creativity in movements of informal workers in recent times. Delhi has been a centre of such innovative experiments. In the Valley of Historical Time attempts to understand these new forms and strategies and possibilities of resurgence of working class movements.
