    Description
    Globalisation, or the expansion of international trade and investment experienced since the early 1980s, has brought gains to some countries and groups of workers, while marginalising and excluding others. This paper argues that some of the causes of and the solutions to the UK's recent employment problems lie at the international level. Such problems as job insecurity, erosion of workers' rights, and growing income inequality are being experienced in many other countries, as a consequence of the process of globalisation. There is an important advocacy role for international alliances of community-based and civil organisations in reforming the international trading and investment system to ensure that all workers receive their fair share of the fruits of economic progress.

    The export button (to the right?) will allow you to export the search results of the entered query to a CSV file. To export the items, click the "Export" button.

    There are two options to select the items you want to export to a CSV. Either you export all results from a search query, or you select a subset of items from the search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" in the Export menu.

    After making a selection, click the 'CSV' button. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to 'CSV'.

    The amount of items you can export is limited, but authenticating will increase this limit.
