Abstract

This essay makes a case for integrating an international political economy (IPE) perspective into the field of labor studies to improve current theories of labor politics. I argue that viewing labor studies through an IPE lens means taking real structural barriers to collective action into account while also analyzing how labor is empowered, not just despite macroeconomic constraints, but also sometimes, paradoxically, by such constraints. I further argue that a combined IPE/labor studies approach offers insight into labor's potential for collective action, especially when one considers the politics of international trade and finance from a historical perspective.

劳动再估价与全球化：对未来工作的当代思考

本文将国际政治经济学(IPE)的视角纳入劳动研究领域，以完善现有的劳动政治理论。我认为，通过国际政治经济学的视角来看待劳动研究，意味着在考虑集体行动的真正结构性障碍的同时，也要分析劳动是如何被赋予权力的，不仅是在宏观经济约束的情况下，有时还会矛盾地受到这些约束。我进一步认为，将国际政治经济学和劳工研究结合起来，可以洞察劳工集体行动的潜力，特别是当人们从历史的角度考虑国际贸易和金融政治时。

期刊介绍： The Labor Studies Journal is the official journal of the United Association for Labor Education and is a multi-disciplinary journal publishing research on work, workers, labor organizations, and labor studies and worker education in the US and internationally. The Journal is interested in manuscripts using a diversity of research methods, both qualitative and quantitative, directed at a general audience including union, university, and community based labor educators, labor activists and scholars from across the social sciences and humanities. As a multi-disciplinary journal, manuscripts should be directed at a general audience, and care should be taken to make methods, especially highly quantitative ones, accessible to a general reader.
