AS 230.365 - Labor and Globalization

Institution:

Johns Hopkins University

Subject:

Description:

The course will focus on the ways in which contemporary processes of globalization (including the current crisis) are transforming the nature of work and employment, using a wide range of local case studies from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America. Themes include changes in business organization that impact labor (e.g., automation, outsourcing, subcontracting) and the role of inter- and intra-national labor migration. We will also look at present-day forms of workers’ protest (open and hidden, local and transnational) and how these are shaped by and are shaping global social change.
