dc.description.abstract | With the support of the labour geography framework, this study
tries to analyse how the economic geography of capitalism is shaped by
the spatial practices of labour. We look into a model, not upon a global
scale but at a very local scale of organisation and show how organising
locally can, in fact, be an effective strategy during confrontation with
social actors organised at the global and other extra-local scales. The
study raises the need for going against the grain by questioning global
stereotypes with regard to expected economic responses to globalisation.
The position I seek to hold is that labour has been actively involved in
the very process of globalisation itself and the expansion of capital in
general. In this paper I take up this particular thread of argument and
empirically show how it is important and relevant in the globalisation
literature. I deal specifically with one region – Kerala – and particularly
the processes in its labour markets, taking the case of apparel workers in
two units in an export promoting industrial park in Kerala.
Keywords: Globalisation, Kerala, Labour Geography, Local-Global
