520			_a Globalization has adversely affected working-class organization and mobilization, increasing inequality by redistribution upwards from labo ur to capital. However, workers around the world are challenging their increased exploitation by globalizing corporations. In developed countr ies, many unions are transforming themselves to confront employer power in ways more appropriate to contemporary circumstances; in developing countries, militant new labour movements are emerging. Drawing upon ins ights in anti-determinist Marxian perspectives, Verity Burgmann shows h ow working-class resistance is not futile, as protagonists of globaliza tion often claim. She identifies eight characteristics of globalization harmful to workers and describes and analyses how they have responded collectively to these problems since 1990 and especially this century. With case studies from around the world, including Greece since 2008, s he pays particular attention to new types of labour movement organizati on and mobilization that are not simply defensive reactions but are off ensive and innovative responses that compel corporations or political i nstitutions to change. Aging and less agile manifestations of the labou r movement decline while new expressions of working-class organization and mobilization arise to better battle with corporate globalization. T his book will be of interest to students and scholars of labour studies , globalization, political economy, Marxism and sociology of work.
