Zusammenfassung:For too long the movement of labour and the labour movement have been studied in splendid isolation. This book addresses their intersection. Karl Polanyi’s intuition that history moves through a double movement of disembedding under market rule followed by re-embedding under societal control underlies the overall argument. In different, but complementary, ways the book’s fifteen chapters address globalization, international migration, and the precarization of work and citizenship along with diverse social movement responses beyond ‘North’ and ‘South’. An interdisciplinary and comparative approach emphasizes the complexity of historically grounded social relations. The first part of the book presents five complementary perspectives on the political economy of migration, precarious labour, and citizenship. Part II analyses labour unions’ historical relations with migrant workers and the current changes in their orientation, and approaches to organization of, with, or by migrants, immigrants, and new ethnic minorities. Part III discusses alternative global norms and institutional propositions by international organizations as they relate to an incipient global framework for the governance of migration.
