Description
This book deals with the political and economic dimensions of 20th-century industrialized formations. Its main focus is on Britain, but there is also coverage of North America, Japan and continental Europe. The section of the political dimensions looks at the process of democratization, the practice of citizenship, and the impact of new social movements on political culture. The economic section looks at the organization of production - Fordism, neo-Fordism and flexible specialization - changing national and international divisions of labour and their impact on class, gender and race relations, and the experiences of control and power in work. Each chapter is supported by selected readings from major classical and contemporary social theorists.
