Download or read book Beyond the Boycott written by Gay W. Seidman and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2007-09-13 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world economy becomes increasingly integrated, companies can shift production to wherever wages are lowest and unions weakest. How can workers defend their rights in an era of mobile capital? With national governments forced to compete for foreign investment by rolling back legal protections for workers, fair trade advocates are enlisting consumers to put market pressure on companies to treat their workers fairly. In Beyond the Boycott, sociologist Gay Seidman asks whether this non-governmental approach can reverse the "race to the bottom" in global labor standards. Beyond the Boycott examines three campaigns in which activists successfully used the threat of a consumer boycott to pressure companies to accept voluntary codes of conduct and independent monitoring of work sites. The voluntary Sullivan Code required American corporations operating in apartheid-era South Africa to improve treatment of their workers; in India, the Rugmark inspection team provides 'social labels' for handknotted carpets made without child labor; and in Guatemala, COVERCO monitors conditions in factories producing clothing under contract for major American brands. Seidman compares these cases to explore the ingredients of successful campaigns, as well as the inherent limitations facing voluntary monitoring schemes. Despite activists' emphasis on educating individual consumers to support ethical companies, Seidman finds that, in practice, they have been most successful when they mobilized institutions—such as universities, churches, and shareholder organizations. Moreover, although activists tend to dismiss states' capabilities, all three cases involved governmental threats of trade sanctions against companies and countries with poor labor records. Finally, Seidman points to an intractable difficulty of independent workplace monitoring: since consumers rarely distinguish between monitoring schemes and labels, companies can hand pick monitoring organizations, selecting those with the lowest standards for working conditions and the least aggressive inspections. Transnational consumer movements can increase the bargaining power of the global workforce, Seidman argues, but they cannot replace national governments or local campaigns to expand the meaning of citizenship. As trade and capital move across borders in growing volume and with greater speed, civil society and human rights movements are also becoming more global. Highly original and thought-provoking, Beyond the Boycott vividly depicts the contemporary movement to humanize globalization—its present and its possible future.

Download or read book Sweden and National Liberation in Southern Africa Solidarity and assistance 1970 1994 written by Tor Sellström and published by Nordic Africa Institute. This book was released on 1999 with total page 920 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1969, the Swedish parliament endorsed a policy of direct assistance to the liberation movements in Southern Africa. Sweden thus became the first Western country to enter into a relationship with organizations that elsewhere in the West were shunned as "Communist" or "terrorist." This book-the first in a two-volume study on Sweden & the regional struggles for majority rule & national independence-traces the background to the relationship. Presenting the actors & factors behind the support to MPLA of Angola, FRELIMO of Mozambique, SWAPO of Namibia, ZANU & ZAPU of Zimbabwe, & ANC of South Africa, it addresses the question why Sweden established close relations with the very movements that eventually would assume state power in their respective countries. The second volume (later this year) will discuss how the support was expressed, covering the period from 1970 until the democratic elections in South Africa in 1994.

Book excerpt: The book that you are about to read are actual events that happen in my life. Only the names of the people have been changed. When I was growing up as a girl, I had dreams of getting a good job and marring a wonderful man and raising a family. And live the fairy tale of living happily ever after. But my life did not take that route.. Instead, I had a whirlwind of marriages gone wrong. Some women, especially single women would ask me what I did to get all those men to marry me. My responds to them was nothing. I met my true love when I was going through a terrible divorce from my second husband. I met Leroy when I was in a difficult situation. My ex-husband played around on me and committed adultery. That is why I filed for divorce. And the bad thing about the whole ordeal is that he really did not love me and he did not want anybody else to love me either. I was just too blind at the time to see. What really made matters worst is, I was still very much in love with my ex-husband. Even though I had filed for a divorce. To make a long story short it ended up breaking Leroy's heart. Therefore, I ended up marring my ex-husband a second time. And that marriage was an even bigger mistake than before. The marriage did not last over two months. But it left a big scare in my life. That is when I went into a whirlwind of marriages that followed. I did not see Leroy until thirteen years later. Leroy went on with his life and married a woman and moved to San Diego, Ca. to start their new life together.
