Technology, Institutions and Labor

Meer over het boek

Labor responses to technological change in the Global South are shaped significantly by political institutions, as argued by Fulya Apaydin. The book introduces a novel theoretical framework for understanding labor mobilization and demobilization, emphasizing vocational education as crucial for manufacturing labor consent. It systematically compares skill formation schemes across federal and unitary systems, using Argentina and Turkey as case studies to illustrate how technology has led to varying levels of labor unrest, including strikes and protests.
