Book Description:
|
Drawing from case studies from the Eastern and South-eastern frontiers of the EU, this book examines the changes in geography of European production in labour-intensive industries. It investigates the multitude of processes, as well as diverse consequences of global integration upon industries, regions, enterprises and employees. The book also defines and analyses multiple causes of decentralization, arguing that it is not simply the pursuit of cheaper and more adaptable labour.
