Interdisciplinary essays on theoretical issues and case studies in the labor movement emphasize neo-institutional and class-conflictual approaches in the study of contemporary labor politics in primary sector industries. The theoretical section provides an overview of the economic and organizational dynamics that undermine the capacity of labor interests to revive their institutions. Case studies look at political, economic, and organizational factors in the development of trade union politics. Paper edition (unseen), $17.50. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
