This book offers wide-ranging insights into the organising capacities of workers in Asia today. Nine case-studies examine workers'' responses to class relations through independent unions, non-government organisations (NGOs) and more (dis)organised struggles. Countering the notion that globalisation holds entirely negative consequences for labour organisation, the authors reveal some of the openings for local activism which can arise from transnational production arrangements.
