New Labor Movements in Emerging Economies (2018_2_40_009)
Outline
Our research tries to understand the dynamism of "new labor movements," which are sometimes referred to as "social movement unionism," in emerging economies, including Brazil, China, India, the Philippines, and South Africa. This study discusses the backgrounds and factors behind such movements, their methods, their effects on workers and citizens, their sustainability, their relations with mainstream labor movements/trade unionism, and how such relates to policymaking at the national level. By doing this, we will aim to elucidate the various phases of trade unionism/labor movements in emerging economies.
