It also incorporates a variety of cross-cultural situations ranging from foreign-owned production facilities to migrant labour, from border manufacturing towns to international joint ventures. Salient themes within the course highlight major issues such as: globalization, deindustrialization, the division of labour, social status, gender, resistance, movement, ethnic identity, political systems, unemployment, as well as planning, structure and control in the workplace. Ethnographic case studies featured in the readings and lectures cover a wide geography that includes: Ireland, France, China, Hungary, South Korea, England, Puerto Rico, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Japan and the USA.
