Abstract

Abstract Welfare expansion in the global South is partly in response to the social crises caused by neoliberal restructuring since the 1980s, with the 2008 global financial crisis escalating them, and the covid-19 pandemic further exposing the impact on the most precarious working populations. What are the new dynamics of labor struggles against these structural, industrial, and health crises under the expansion of social protection or the lack thereof? How do the state and non-state actors manage recurring and new capitalist crises by reconfiguring labor and social policies? The contributions in this special issue address these questions by engaging with workers’ lived experiences across the global South and post-communist states. They show that current labor and social policies fail the test under various crises. We argue that the neoliberalization of labor and welfare reconfigurations and the recurring crises of global capitalism have reproduced each other in these global South countries.
危机中的福利:全球南方的劳动和社会保护
发展中国家的福利扩张在一定程度上是为了应对20世纪80年代以来新自由主义重组引发的社会危机,2008年全球金融危机加剧了这一危机,新冠肺炎疫情进一步暴露了对最不稳定的劳动人口的影响。在扩大或缺乏社会保护的情况下,工人斗争反对这些结构性、工业和健康危机的新动态是什么?国家和非国家行为体如何通过重新配置劳动和社会政策来管理反复出现的和新的资本主义危机?本期特刊的文章通过探讨全球南方国家和后共产主义国家工人的生活经历来解决这些问题。它们表明,目前的劳动和社会政策在各种危机下都无法经受住考验。我们认为,劳动和福利重新配置的新自由主义化与全球资本主义反复出现的危机在这些全球南方国家中相互复制。
