520 This book considers the transformative impact of global
trade and production networks on local economies, work and
labour organisation, andnotions of 'community'. The idea
of 'community' and the transformationof its various forms
and meanings under globalisation is the subject of
considerabledebate in the disciplines of anthropology and
sociology.Parallel to this interest, there is a growing
body of research from economic geographers, political
economists, and labour studies scholars on how global
trade and corporate production networks are re-shaping
economies, regulatory structures, labour organisation, and
the lives of workers. This volume utilises comparative
analysis and case studies to engage with these themes, by
examining socio-economic transformation in Asia and the
restructuring of manufacturing industries, ports, the
information technology sector, and small to medium scale
commodity production networks. This book is essential
reading for all interested in developmentstudies,
political economy, Asian studies, industrial relations and
labour studies.&|160; &|160;
