| Description: |
This book revisits Cox and Harrod's conception of 'unprotected workers' through theoretical reflection and empirical explorations of the rise of millennialism, prostitution and the sex industry, the politics of migration, the interstices of class and gender, and trade union politics. |
| Synopsis: |
The RAND Corporation, the World Bank, cosmopolitan liberals, trade unionists and anti-globalization movements all agree that global poverty and 'the underclass' constitute essential dimensions of world politics. Yet, systematic analyses of how the 'global poor' intervene in world politics are scarce. Revisiting Cox and Harrod's conception of 'unprotected workers', this book critically examines prevailing assumptions about the sources of conflicts often associated with global poor. By focusing specifically on the relations between work and the power relations in societal and global arenas, Poverty and the Production of World Politicslinks together debates about migration, human rights, the feminization and flexibilization of labour markets, and the rise of the 'informal economy' in innovative and provocative ways. It does so theoretically through a critical engagement with mainstream IR as well as Marxism, feminism and post-colonial theory.It does so empirically through explorations of the rise of millennialism; prostitution and the sex industry; the politics of the interstices of gender, labour, and migration in Southern Africa and Latin America; and contemporary trade union politics. |
