Myconos explores the ways in which organized labour has globalized since 1945. Using two 'touchstone' indicators - the extent of cross-border integration, and the autonomy vis-à-vis the state - the book reveals a counterintuitive process: network globalization involves a continuing orientation towards the state. The book not only seeks to identify organized labour's trajectory on the macro plane, but also to provide a more precise meaning of the term 'globalization' as it relates to agency.

Reviews for The Globalizations of Organized Labour: 1945-2005 (International Political Economy)
'He [Myconos] convincingly demonstrates that, despite globalisation's increasing momentum, labour has not followed suit in incorporating a much more explicity international agenda. On this basis alone I recommend The Globalization of Organized Labour to anyone interested in labour studies or internationalism generally.' - Millennium Journal of International Studies
