      abstract = {Jrg Nowak has written an ambitious, wide-ranging and very  important book. This impressive work may well become a  major building block for a new interpretation of global  workers struggles. Marcel van der Linden, International  Institute of Social History, The Netherlands In this timely  and important study, Jrg Nowak examines the surge of  worker-based mass strikes in developing countries between  2010-2014. He convincingly challenges the dominant  Eurocentric approach to labour conflict and calls for a new  theory of strikes. Edward Webster, University of  Witwatersrand, South Africa This book explores new forms of  popular organisation that emerged from strikes in India and  Brazil between 2011 and 2014. Based on four case studies,  the author traces the alliances and relations that strikers  developed during their mobilisations with other popular  actors such as students, indigenous peoples, and people  displaced by dam projects. The study locates the mass  strikes in Brazils construction industry and Indias  automobile industry in a global conjuncture of protest  movements, and develops a new theory of strikes that can  take account of the manifold ways in which labour unrest is  embedded in local communities and regional networks. Jrg  Nowak is Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow at the School of  Politics and International Relations at University of  Nottingham, UK. He works on South-South investment, labour  unrest in emerging economies, Labour Geography and  Althusserian Marxism.},
