From Migrant to Worker
What happens when local unions begin to advocate for the rights of temporary migrant workers, asks Michele Ford in her sweeping study of seven Asian countries? Until recently unions in Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand were uniformly hostile towards foreign workers, but Ford deftly shows how times and attitudes have begun to change. Now, she argues, NGOs and the Global Union Federations are encouraging local unions to represent and advocate for these peripheral workers, and in some cases succeeding. From Migrant to Worker builds our understanding of the role the international labor movement and local unions have had in developing a movement for migrant ...
Velfærdsinnovation
I disse år begynder arbejdet med innovation inden for velfærdsområdet at brede sig, men der mangler fortsat viden om, hvordan velfærdsinnovation kan gribes an, og hvordan vi mere systematisk kan lære af hinandens erfaringer. Velfærdsinnovation. En introduktion har som hensigt at udbrede kendskabet til velfærdsinnovation. Der er behov for at forny vores måde at indrette vores velfærdssamfund på. Jo hurtigere, jo bedre. For demografien i Danmark skriger på det, og konkurrencesituationen i den globale verden gør det samme. Skal Danmark fortsat være et velfærdssamfund, så skal samfundet hele tiden udvikle sig, og her vil mere velfærdsinnovation være et af de vigtigste redskaber. Bogens særlige ambition er at gøre det nemmere for nuværende og kommende velfærdsmedarbejdere at få en hurtig og overskuelig introduktion til velfærdsinnovation. Derfor gennemgår Velfærdsinnovation. En introduktion en række eksempler, som viser, at mulighederne for at realisere innovationer af velfærdssamfundet er mangfoldige.

Precarious Workers
The recent vast upsurge in social science scholarship on job precarity has generally little to say about earlier forms of this phenomenon. Eloisa Betti’s monograph convincingly demonstrates on the example of Italy that even in the post-war phase of Keynesian stability and welfare state, precarious labor was an underlying feature of economic development. She examines how in this short period exceptional politics of labor stability prevailed. The volume then presents the processes whereby labor precarity regained momentum— under the name of flexibility— in the post-Fordist phase from the early 1980s, taking on new forms in the Craxi and Berlusconi eras. Multiple actors are addressed in t...
