The seminar deals with actors, structures and processes of transnational interest representation of workers. In terms of actors we will look at regional and global interest associations of labour both inside (like Eurpean Works Councils or Global Works Councils) and outside (like Global Union Federeations) transnational companies and discuss their strategies of interest represenation and the ways these actors are linked together. In terms of structures we will focus on the resources of transnational actors and on the way they are organised as well as on regional and global regulations concerning labour standards and labour relations. And in with respect to processes, finally, we will look at the developments of global labour actors and their perspectives of interest representation in a globalised economy.

Please note, that this is a third-year-course in the BA Sociology so that you will either need a general education in social science or be willing to put in extra hours in order to successfully pass the course.
