| Global Working Class Project |
The global working class has been widely perceived to be on the retreat towards the end of the 20th century under the conditions of neo-liberal restructuring of the global economy. The objective of this project is to analyse this situation and assess the possibilities for a revival of labour internationalism.
The aims of the project are threefold (1) to provide a general overview of the situation of the working class around the world through a selection of countries in all the major regions, (2) to map out the responses of trade unions to the challenges of neo-liberal globalisation and (3) to assess possible strategies for a revival of labour internationalism based on transnational solidarity.
