Integration through Exploitation: Syrians in Turkey
(Reiner Hampp Verlag, 2019)
This book is about the largest displacement crisis and resettlement of our time. However, it is not another piece that elaborately describes the appalling situation of Syrian workers in Turkey, but explores how they are integrated into the lower ends of the value chain in several sectors. The book seeks answers of what has been largely overlooked in the literature on the question of how labor processes have been shaped in various labor-intensive sectors by class and identity.

The Containment of Labour Unrest in the Post Socialist China
(2011-07-25)
Due to its transition from the socialist mode of production to the capitalist mode, workers in China have been exposed to the exploitative class relations that they hardly experienced before. The working class is now assuming a subordinate position in the relations of production while the capitalist class remains in the dominant position.

Beyond the Prototypical Male Migrant
(2010-06-07)
The primary theoretical accounts of migration have been largely unaffected by the feminisation of migration. But this does not mean that they are gender neutral.

(Rainer Hampp Verlag, München, Mering, 2013)
Given the substantial and increasing encroachment of trade agreements into almost every aspect of economic
and social life, there is a pressing need for research that provides a more coherent framework for understanding
the source and effectiveness of organised labour ’s power and capacity to influence international trade policy.
Taking the union protests against the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) as a case study, this
research uses core concepts derived from social movement theory to analyse the ...

Opportunities and constraints of peri-urban buffalo and dairy cattle systems in Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan
(ICDD, International Center for Development and Decent Work, University of Kassel, 2012-01)
In the big cities of Pakistan, peri-urban dairy production plays an important role for household
income generation and the supply of milk and meat to the urban population. On the other hand,
milk production in general, and peri-urban dairy production in particular, faces numerous problems
that have been well known for decades. Peri-urban dairy producers have been especially neglected
by politicians as well as non-government-organizations (NGOs).
Against this background, a study in Pakistan’s third largest city, ...
