Regional aspirations with a global perspective: Developments in East Asian labour studies
Workers in East Asia have shown over the past 50 years that they are capable of challenging capital, despite facing vehement opposition by corporations, oftentimes joined by governments and their militaries, and sometimes even armed thugs.

It identifies today’s movements of capita…

Another Type of Trade Unionism Is Possible: The KMU Labor Center of the Philippines and social movement unionism
Arguing there are alternatives to the generally moribund trade unionism currently found in the United States, this article presents the Kilusang Mayo Uno Labor Center of the Philippines, an exemplar of social movement unionism, as providing one alternative developing among labor organizations in the Global South. It presents a theoretical discussion of social movement unionism. It seeks to ascertain if the KMU is still conducting social movement …
Globalization from Below: Labor Activists Challenging the AFL-CIO Foreign Policy Program
Building on Alberto Melucci's argument that to understand a social movement, we must look at the period before emergence as a social movement, this article examines labor activists' efforts to reform the foreign policy program of the AFL-CIO: has sufficient groundwork been laid that a serious possibility of an alternative globalization movement can emerge from within US Labor? This article discusses general efforts to challenge the AFL-CIO's fore…

It has been unequivocally established that the AFL-CIO has worked to overthrow democratically-elected governments, collaborated with dictators against progressive labor movements, and supported reactionary labor movements against progressive governments.1 In short, the AFL-CIO has practiced what we can accurately call "labor imperialism." The…

Global Economic Crisis, Neoliberal Solutions, and the Philippines
The economic crisis that has been affecting the global economy for the last two and a half years started in East Asia. We've heard story after story about the problems in Thailand, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, and even Japan—but we've heard almost nothing about the situation in the Philippines. Is there something that the U.S. government, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Bank don't want us to know about the situati…
