Both workers and employers must come to grips with capitalism’s spatial organization, and how they do so shapes the kinds of political behaviors in which they engage. In this article the authors explore how two different groups of European workers—dockers and seafarers—have responded to liberalization efforts and suggest that their differential success in resisting labor market deregulation can be explained, at least in part, by how they are spatially embedded in particular places and what this means for their abilities to make common cause with others across space
