Beskrivning
We are currently witnessing some of the greatest challenges to democratic regimes since the 1930s, with democratic institutions losing ground in numerous countries throughout the world. At the same time organized labor has been under assault worldwide, with steep declines in union density rates. In this timely handbook, scholars in law, political science, history, and sociology explore the role of organized labor and the working class in the historical construction of democracy. They analyze recent patterns of democratic erosion, examining its relationship to the political weakening of organized labor and, in several cases, the political alliances forged by workers in contexts of nationalist or populist political mobilization. The volume breaks new ground in providing cross-regional perspectives on labor and democracy in the United States, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Beyond academia, this volume is essential reading for policymakers and practitioners concerned with the relationship between labor and democracy.

'Building on historical analyses of the role of labor in constructing democracy, this most timely and insightful volume explores how globalized capitalism has endangered unions and created conditions eroding democracy the world over. At the same time, it offers compelling advice on how unions can fight these trends through new alliances and forms of mobilization.' Evelyne Huber, Morehead Alumni Professor of Political Science, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
