Addressing a number of 'missing links' in the analysis of labour and its geographies, this volume examines how theoretical perspectives on both labour and the organizations of the labour movement can be refined. Issues of agency, power and collective mobilizations are examined via case studies from the 'global north' and 'global south' in order to develop a better understanding of labour market processes in developed and developing countries.
