A NEW ILR PRESS TITLE FROM KATE BRONFENBRENNER
GLOBAL UNIONS
Challenging Transnational Capital
through Cross-Border Campaigns
KATE BRONFENBRENNER
“Global Unions address one of the most pressing questions facing labor
and unions in the world today: how can unions confront and address
the implications of globalization?  e distinctive and original feature of
this book is to show in a systematic and sustained way how cross-border
campaigns are generated and how problems arise for unions that try to
implement them. Bronfenbrenner has set the standard for debate on the
eff ectiveness of global unions.”
— Peter Fairbrother, Cardiff University
“Global Unions sets a rigorous new standard for research on global union
campaigns. It is historic, exciting, and a crucial text for readers in several
disciplines such as labor studies, sociology, and political science who are
grappling with the most important question of our era: global inequality
and modes of collective action to advance democracy and justice.”
— Dorian T. Warren, Columbia University
“ is book confronts the received wisdom that global capital is unchallengeable. It looks at globalization from the
perspective of those who actually create the wealth—workers from across the world. Global Unions provides a fascinating
theoretical understanding of the possibilities for uniting across boundaries. Using well-researched case studies,
the book demonstrates the strongest case yet for a new praxis of global unionism.  is is a book for academics and
unionists alike.”
