The Social Impact of Trade and Production Networks on Labour and Local Communities in Asia

Chapter 1 in Trade, Labour and Transformation of Community in Asia, 2009, pp 3-23 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A crucial aspect of globalization is the impact of international trade and global production networks on local business organizations, workers, and wider communities in which these activities are embed-ded. Conceptualizations of ‘community’ have always been subject to considerable debate in the social sciences, particularly in the disci-plines of anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies. These debates have recently been reengaged with reference to the transformation of various forms and meanings of community through globalization.
