Abstract
In the previous chapter we searched in some exemplary studies within labour studies for labour, for working men’s and women’s thoughts, feelings, and experiences of working life. In this chapter we outline other theories informing our analysis in relation to production processes under neoliberal globalising conditions. To understand the broader contexts in which workers’ daily lives unfold we need to examine theories on globalisation, and world-system theory and spatial theory, which grasp the processes within which transnational corporations (TNCs) operate and which they simultaneously shape.
