Abstract
ABSTRACT This article reflects on the insights generated by the contributions to the special issue on labour conflicts in the Global South. We emphasize first the need to go beyond Eurocentric industrial relations concepts forged in the historically specific circumstances of post-World War II industrialized countries. This also includes going beyond the fetishism of regarding trade unions as the privileged agents of workers’ interests. As the various empirical contributions to this special issue demonstrate, labour struggles against capitalist exploitation in the Global South go beyond the workplace and generally also include organizations different from the traditional trade union form.
