Increasingly, working relations are regulated primarily by contract; workforces are fissured and fragmented. What are the consequences of this? How should we respond? Ruth Dukes and Wolfgang Streeck argue that the time is ripe to restate the principles of industrial democracy and citizenship for the post-industrial era. Considering developments within political economy, employment relations and labour law since the postwar decades, they trace the rise of globalization and the ‘dualization’ of labour markets – the emergence of a core and periphery of workers – and the progressive insulation of working relations from democratic governance. What these developments amount to, they argue, is an urgent need for political intervention to tame the new world of ‘gigging’ and other forms of highly precarious work. This, according to the authors, will require far-reaching institution-building designed to fill legal concepts such as ‘employment’ with political substance. This eloquent call for a reimagining and renewal of the institutional and material conditions of freedom of association and the reinvention of industrial democracy will be crucial reading for anyone interested in work in the twenty-first century.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 139mmItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 256gGenre: Business & FinanceTopic: Society & Culture, Social SciencesSubtitle: Contract, Status and Post-Industrial JusticeAuthor: Ruth Dukes, Wolfgang StreeckRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
