New Roles for the Trade Unions

Peer Hull Kristensen and Robson Sø Rocha

Politics & Society, 2012, vol. 40, issue 3, 453-479

Abstract: This article builds on lessons from Denmark and the Nordic area to offer a novel and comprehensive logic of action within the emerging political economy that may be used to assess the possible new roles that unions can take on. The authors argue that unions are capable of “civilizing†globalization and current forms of governance by becoming responsible for pushing for a governance regime in a new and more egalitarian direction.
