To investigate the mechanisms of such persistence, this book reconceptualizes informalization as \u003ci\u003ea\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003etool of labour\u003c\/i\u003e control and therefore as the result of a continuous negotiation between workers and employers at the workplace level. Theoretically, the analysis draws on a combination of Global Production Networks (GPNs) studies and Labour Process Theory (LPT); empirically, it focuses on garment-footwear GPNs in (Southern) Italy and Albania and draws on extensive, multi-sited fieldwork, interviews and focus groups with workers, unionists, managers, labour inspectors, NGO representatives, policymakers, and other stakeholders.\u003cbr\u003eThrough a multilevel study of of anti-informality policies, social contexts, sectoral structures and workplace dynamics, the book explains differentiated informalization patterns within GPNs as the combination of forbearance policies, devaluing social norms and socially embedded struggles between workers and employers at the workplace level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 274\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 8.25 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 21, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45892840882373,"sku":"9788869774874","price":33.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/coGz8RvAo39788869774874.webp?v=1771918746","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/manufacturing-informality-global-production-networks-and-informalized-labour-regimes-in-europes-peripheries-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
