Call for papers Internationally coordinated themed collection sponsored by Global Labour Journal Partecipazione e Conflitto Revista Latinoamericana de Estudios del Trabajo The Economic and Labour Relations Review Editors: Maurizio Atzeni, Centre for Labour Relations, CEIL/CONICET, Argentina Jenny Chan, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong Devi Sacchetto, University of Padua, Italia Internationally coordinated themed collection In this proposed collection, we aim to include papers exploring different forms of workers’ conflict and organization, and their relation to emerging forms of collective solidarity. We welcome labour scholars of different disciplinary traditions. We are particularly interested in the following areas: how the intersections between the spheres of production and reproduction shape or are shaped by labour conflict; the labour process in economic circuits providing essential services, such as logistics, food processing, health, and care; the role of the state in facilitating migration and proletarianization, labour legislation, and collective rights protections; the roles of the social composition of the labour force (by gender, race, nationality, legal status) and working-class culture and politics on the forms of workers’ organizations; formal/informal work and labour regimes in border areas, special economic zones, economic clusters, global commodity chains, and production circuits; welfare and social security policies and their role in supporting or managing labour conflict; new technologies and new forms of control and solidarity; workers’ structural power and working-class composition at choke points in logistic chains; intersections between the struggles of social movements and labour movements; and intersections between the spatiality of labour processes, accumulation models, and national politics in creating opportunities for workers’ mobilization. Deadlines Call for papers: 31 August 2021 Abstracts (500 words): 30 November 2021 Selection of abstracts: 31 December 2021 Full papers (8,000 words, including notes and references): 31 July 2022 Final submission (to one of the four journals): 30 September 2022 Publication: 2023 (in accordance with the schedules of the four journals) Selection of papers Papers will be assessed using the peer review mechanisms normally implemented by each journal. To effectively collaborate with journal editors and an international community of scholars, we set three stages of selection and evaluation preceding the formal evaluation: abstracts, peer discussion, and review of full papers at conferences (people not attending will receive feedback via email). We believe that this selection and evaluation can produce high quality submissions. For inquires and further information: conflictandclass2021@gmail.com PDF
