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
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. At the time, we noted such developments as the rise of the far right in many nations, the global climate crisis, increasing precarity, protes…

Immigration detention
Over the last twenty-five years, immigration detention policies and practices have proliferated around the globe. We look at four liberal democratic countries with the largest immigration detention systems—Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States—and identify components of an immigration detention policy ‘package’ as well as historical parallels in the early adoption of detention in these countries. This ‘Anglo model’ of deten…
Introduction to a Special Issue on the Impact of Immigrant Legalization Initiatives
This article is the third in a series to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the ILR Review. The series features articles that analyze the state of research and future directions for important themes the journal has featured over its many years of publication. In this issue, we also feature a special cluster of articles and book reviews on one of the most critical labor market issues across the globe—the legalization and integration of immigrants i…
Portugal's Immigration and Integration Policies
Continuity Despite Change
Economic pressures led Latin American governments to restructure their economic and social policies in the 1980s and 1990s. They also threatened to transform labor laws. Scholarship on labor law change focused on this reform period, tracking where change occurred and trying to explain labor law outcomes. Yet researchers found that labor law proved remarkably resistant to large-scale change. And despite similar pressures for “flexibilization,” con…
Bringing the Worker Back in
This collection of 'new studies of work' from Mexico represents one of several directions in research on labor and work in Latin America in recent years. Although firm-level, national, and transnational studies remain important, this research stream centers on individual workers, their web of relationships, and the reconfiguration of spaces of work, identities, and processes

Humanitarian Aid Is Never a Crime
I analyze the case of humanitarian pro-migrant activists in southern Arizona between 2000 and 2010 to explore how contending groups wield law and legality claims in a dynamic policy environment. Humanitarian activists both evade and engage the law. They appeal to a higher law to elude charges that they are acting illegally, while seeking assurances that their actions are within the law. Law enforcement agents rely on the authority and technical n…
The Advocate’s Dilemma
This article identifies and explores the dilemma of migrant advocacy in advanced industrial democracies, focusing specifically on the contemporary United States. On the one hand, universal norms such as human rights, which are theoretically well suited to advancing migrants' claims, may have little resonance within national settings. On the other hand, the debates around which immigration arguments typically turn, and the terrain on which advocat…
Parties and Unions in the New Global Economy
Parties and Unions in the New Global Economy. By Katrina Burgess. Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 2004. 224p. $27.95. In Mexico, Spain, and Venezuela during the 1980s and 1990s, labor-backed political parties in power adopted market-oriented reforms that strained the parties' alliances with their union base, generating a “loyalty dilemma” for labor leaders. In response, unions in all three countries initially pursued strategies of dem…
Occupational Rights and New Employment Regimes in Emergent Economies
This article looks at the interaction between states and labour representation in the surfacing of new economic rights in emergent economies (EEs). Economic liberalisation in the 1980s and 1990s profoundly changed the governance of labour markets in EEs. The division between formal and informal sectors was blurred as employment shifts became more frequent and volatile. A traditional site-based approach to conceptualising employment problems is no…
Labor Unions, Partisan Coalitions, and Market Reforms in Latin America
Labor Reform and Dual Transitions in Brazil and the Southern Cone
The sequencing of transitions to democracy and to a market economy shaped the outcome of labor law reform and prospects for expanded labor rights in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. Argentina and Brazil experienced democratic transitions before market economic reforms were consolidated in the 1990s. During the transition, unions obtained prolabor reforms and secured rights that were enshrined in labor law. In posttransition democratic governments, m…
Organizing Immigrants
Recruiting the growing numbers of immigrants into union ranks is imperative for the besieged U.S. labor movement. Nowhere is this task more pressing than in California, where immigrants make up a quarter of the population and hold many of the manual jobs that were once key strongholds of organized labor. The first book to offer in-depth coverage of this timely topic, Organizing Immigrants analyzes the recent history of and prospects for union org…

The Politics of Economic Restructuring
The Politics of Economic Restructuring
Rapid economic restructuring during the 1980s and early 1990s had major consequences for state-society relations in Mexico. The de la Madrid and Salinas administrations broke decisively with post-1940 import-substituting development policies by promoting an economic strategy based on the privatization of state-owned firms, systematic market liberalization, and international economic opening. These changes significantly redefined the state's role …

Mexican State-Labor Relations and the Political Implications of Free Trade
Throughout Latin America, organized labor has been seriously affected by a decade of economic crisis and neoliberal economic restructuring that has resulted in increased unemployment, declining real wages, and reduced union prerogatives. In Mexico these economic changes have been accompanied by a dramatic reduction in organized labor's political influence and the virtual destruction of union militancy and autonomy. Plant closures, layoffs, and th…

Politics within the State
Brazil was one of the most successful examples of state-led industrialization in the post-1945 era. Yet the Brazilian bureaucracy is very fragmented, personalized, and ad hoc. Turnover is high, all policy-relevant positions are subject to political appointment, and officials spend only a short time in positions for which they often lack expertise. How can such a state function, let alone foster rapid economic transformation? To solve this riddle,…
