Call for Papers

ANNOUNCING THE LAUNCH OF THE
Asian Labour Review

 

The new review’s objective is to be an independent platform for analysis, exchange and debate around critical issues confronting workers and labour movements in Asia. It is hosted at Sogang University, South Korea, and explores the development and continuous transformation of capitalism across Asia that challenge labour movements to analyse and intervene to protect the survival and dignity of workers. It raises questions about how we understand, strategise and counter neoliberal, statist and other forms of capitalism so that the labour movement can push back against these assaults by local and transnational capital in collusion with authoritarian and quasi-democratic regimes.

We will explore issues of a changing working class that shapes the orientation of the labour struggle including increased precarity, gig and platform work, and organizing among the growing number of informal workers. We will explore the hidden exploitation, discrimination and barriers to organizing found in the gendered nature of work, the role of reproductive labour and racialised migrant labour regimes. Research will be aimed at revitalising and strengthening independent and grassroots trade unions and exploring emerging forms of worker organization, including organizing that engages with young workers at the forefront in youth-led democratic movements.

We seek contributions on a range of labour issues in Asia, such as labour organising strategies and tactics, strikes and protests, un(der)employment and precarisation, gendered and racialised nature of work, reproductive labour, platform and logistics labour, labour migration, the restructuring of global supply chains, changing labour regimes and industrial relations systems, a labour solution to the ecological crisis, trade union reforms, state repression and more.

The Asian Labour Review will publish one issue a year. The next deadline is January 31, 2023. We accept submissions of 5,000 words or more, written in an accessible style for an informed, general labour audience. If you would like to pitch an idea or submit an article, please email us: editor@labourreview.org
