Book
The New Transnational Activism
TL;DR: The New Transnational Activism as mentioned in this paper shows how even the most prosaic activities can assume broader political meanings when they provide ordinary people with the experience of crossing transnational space, and this emphasis on activism's relational structure means that transnational activists draw on the resources, the networks and the opportunities in which they are embedded, and only then - if at all - on more distant transnational links.

Global Capitalism and Commodity Chains: Looking Back, Going Forward
TL;DR: The authors assesses the achievements and limitations of commodity chain research as it has evolved over the last decade and conclude that closer attention to the larger institutional and structural environments in which commodity chains are embedded is needed in order to more fully inform our understanding of the uneven social and developmental dynamics of contemporary capitalism at the global-local nexus.

Financialisation and capital accumulation in the non-financial corporate sector:A theoretical and empirical investigation on the US economy: 1973–2003
TL;DR: The authors explored the relationship between financialization in the U.S economy and real investment at the firm level and found a negative relationship between real investment and financialization, which may have crowded out real investment by changing the incentives of firm managers and directing funds away from real investment.

Sustainable development in a post-Brundtland world
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the concept and practice of sustainable development (SD) remains salient in confronting the multiple challenges of this new global order, yet how SD is conceptualized and practiced hinges crucially on: the willingness of scholars and practitioners to embrace a plurality of epistemological and normative perspectives on sustainability; the multiple interpretations and practices associated with the evolving concept of "development"; and efforts to open up a continuum of local-to-global public spaces to debate and enact a politics of sustainability.

The Making of the English Working Class
R. Currie,R. M. Hartwell +1 more
TL;DR: The main controversialists in the standard-of-living debate have come from the fringes of the established academic world, from areas remote from agreed courses and acceptable topics; their work, criticized as polemical, is certainly spirited, even aggressive as discussed by the authors.
