The analysis is clear: falling labor standards are not the outcome of globalization but the result of the neoliberal mode of growth that has come to dominate the world economy. In Rohini Hensman's fascinating study, the message is equally straightforward: workers of the world, join the struggle to resist exclusion and insist on inclusion.

Workers, Unions, and Global Capitalism provides a much-needed look at India's working class and its organizations. The book argues for the importance of union democracy and international solidarity as a means to workers' power in today's changing world economy. Rohini Hensman places this in the context of an analysis that sees globalization as a new phase in the development of capitalism. Her work promises to move the debate over globalization and its impact on workers beyond the limits of 'pro' and 'con.'

Workers, Unions, and Global Capitalism addresses what are unquestionably important topics, with appropriately nuanced arguments. Rohini Hensman is careful to avoid the kind of blanket condemnation of globalization that appears in so much critical literature, and part of her originality is showing very clearly that the problems of the labor movement in India are not the result of globalization, but have a much longer history.
