As the person who invented the concept of Social Movement Unionism, around 1985, I welcome what I would consider to be the first serious attempt to surpass it. Anthony Ince considers the concept too general and prefers to consider a broad range of new labour movement phenomena. I have only one or two initial qualifications, or questions, in mind. The first is something Ince himself admits, that he doesn't go into his subject matter at international/global level. The second might be: OK, this range of phenomena is recognisable, and the relations between them sensitively shown, but how do we advance the new movement(s)? And how - given the differences he argues between national situations - could we develop the disparate phenomena into a global movement. Source: European Library for Social Transformation.
