Workers, Citizens, Governance

Socio-Cultural Innovation at Work

by Francesco Garibaldo (Author) Mirella Baglioni (Author) Catherine Casey (Author) Volker Telljohann (Author)
©2012 Edited Collection 222 Pages

Summary

This book pursues principal aims. First it describes and reviews current concerns in regard to the conditions of labour markets, production organizations, working conditions, and industrial and employment relations. Prominent among these concerns are the crisis in trade unions and in democratic labour market institutions, and the rise of what many critics regard as technocratic administrative powers in the displacement of democratic practices. Furthermore the book explores aspects of the search for socio-cultural innovation in the wide areas of work, industrial, organizational, management, and employment relations. It therefore deals with participatory democratic practices in the world of work and production, with citizenship, social cohesion, wider participation in education and training, as well as with cultural interests in identity, solidarity and non-market values.
