A New Year Brings Change to the GLJ
A new year often brings changes, and so it is with us. While our goal for the Journal to cover important topics relating to workers and labour activities around the globe remains the same, we face several departures from the GLJ team and will be welcoming some new faces. This is Jrg Nowak's last issue as Reviews Editor, a position he has held for more than four years. Jrg ensured that reviews of important books on a range of topics in the labour …
Celebrating Ten Years of the Global Labour Journal
Times of Upheaval and Uncertainty: The Year in Review
We live in times of upheaval and uncertainty." In the age of COVID-19, it has become practically obligatory for all of us to include such a phrase in our communications. But we wrote this in our January 2020 editorial, a couple of months before we knew that a global pandemic would turn our world inside out.

Global Labour Studies in the Pandemic: Notes for an Emerging Agenda
Revisiting Conjunctural Marxism: Althusser and Poulantzas on the State
Althusser and Poulantzas explored the nature of the capitalist state against the backdrop of a joint problematic, which concerned the reproduction of class domination.

Whereas Althusser stressed that the state was a "machine" reproducing class domination, Poulantzas increasingly …
The Thatcherite Offensive: A Neo-Poulantzasian Analysis
In The Thatcherite Offensive, Alexander Gallas provides a class-centred political analysis of Thatcherism. Drawing upon Greek state theorist Nicos Poulantzas, he challenges both mainstream and critical accounts of British politics in the 1980s and 90s. He shows that Thatcherism's sucess and novelty, indeed its unity as a political project, lay in the fact that the Thatcher governments profoundly shifted class relations in Britain in favour of cap…
Combating Inequality: The Global North and South
The silent treatment of class domination: Critical' comparative capitalisms scholarship and the British state
This article is a meta-critique, from an Althusserian and Poulantzasian perspective, of critical accounts of the British state. It is based on a 'symptomatic reading' of key texts written by Andrew Gamble, Colin Hay and Chris Howell, which demonstrates that they misconstrue the dynamics of capitalism and the effects of state interventions and class conflict. Against this backdrop, the article outlines an approach to state analysis based on the co…
