<br/><br/>Introduction<br/><br/>A New Theory of Strikes: Moving Beyond Eurocentrism<br/><br/>The Political Economy of Mass Strikes in the Global Crisis<br/><br/>A Protracted Struggle: Strikes in the Automobile Sector in India<br/><br/>An Ascending Wave: Mass Strikes in the Brazilian Construction Sector 
<br/><br/> This book explores new forms of popular organisation that emerged from strikes in India and Brazil between 2011 and 2014. Based on four case studies, the author traces the alliances and relations that strikers developed during their mobilisations with other popular actors such as students, indigenous peoples, and people displaced by dam projects. The study locates the mass strikes in Brazil’s construction industry and India’s automobile industry in a global conjuncture of protest movements, and develops a new theory of strikes that can take account of the manifold ways in which labour unrest is embedded in local communities and regional networks.<br/><br/>https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783030053741
