Additional Information
How have processes associated with globalization ¿ including increased flows of capital and information, reconfigured patterns of labor migration, privatization and deregulation ¿ affected work in the U.S. and internationally? In taking a sociological approach to the problem, we will see that micro-level changes in work must be contextualized in a broader analysis of economic, political, and cultural shifts which have occurred at the regional, national, and transnational levels. In particular, we will investigate the varying experiences of different social groups, and how they have each fared with the increased precarity and demands for flexibility that are the hallmarks of new work regimes emerging under globalization.

Additional Information
This course focuses on the evolution, current trajectories and new ideas of methods to improve labor standards in global supply chains. Taking a global value chains perspective, we will first trace the early history of consumer activism that has resulted in the burgeoning of corporate codes of conduct regarding labor practices in a variety of different industries. We will examine current approaches and their effectiveness, critically evaluate monitoring approaches and explore alternative and new strategies to address global labor practices by corporations, suppliers, sourcers and others. In particular a goal of the class is to present the often contradicting views of multiple stakeholders, representatives of whom will be invited to speak to the class. Thus, we will have speakers from global corporations, critical NGOs, Unions, Monitoring Firms, and others. The course will end with an evaluation of current and innovative approaches in this area, such as the Accord and Alliance in Bangladesh, the Designated Supplier Program and new approaches that involve the inclusion of human rights in global supply chains.
