'A rigorous, highly concrete, and geographically sensitive set of studies which examine the structural power of labour, trade union power, labour agency and the labour process in the context of global production, service and logistics networks. This is a must read!' - Doug Miller, Emeritus Professor, University of Northumbria, UK 'In the increasingly crowded field of the study of global value chains, it is crucial that we take more seriously the principal source of value: labour. This theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich book offers powerful new interdisciplinary insights on the study of labour in global value chains.' - Liam Campling, School of Business and Management, Queen Mary University of London, UK 'Putting Labour in its Place is the first robust attempt to situate labour agency within GVC discourses. The conceptual rigor, empirical breadth and multidisciplinary nature of the book will make it appealing to a wide range of scholars and students.' - Christina Niforou, Birmingham Business School, UK 'This welcome and informed book shines a light on the underbelly of Global Production Networks - what does life look like for the workers who make the goods which global markets thoughtlessly consume?' - Raphael Kaplinksky, Open University, UK 'Combining insights from leading researchers in global value chains and labour process theory provides an important and timely contribution to analysis of the rapidly changing dynamics of labour in global production.' - Stephanie Barrientos, University of Manchester, UK
