This issue brings together important research from Europe, Australia, North America, Latin America and Asia and considers
·How can the global knowledge economy be conceptualised to enable us to understand the current transformations of work taking place globally?
·What is the relationship between global forces and differing national models of capitalism?
·How are global value chains being restructured? And are service industries now following the patterns set by manufacturing in the past?
·Are we seeing the birth of a network economy in which small firms can thrive, or a new phase of consolidation by global transnational corporations?
·What are the impacts for regional development? for working conditions? and for workers' ability to organise?
