Factors Enabling and Constraining Worker Education Programs' Responses to Neo-liberal Globalisation

Believing that education is vital to improving the conditions of workers in the globalised economy, this international study assesses the factors that are enabling and constraining 18 leading workers education programs' response to the neo-liberal global economy. Two conclusions can be drawn from the findings of this study. This first conclusion is that the constraining factors outweigh the enabling ones, so that unions are still not able to seriously challenge transnational corporations. The second conclusion is that workers' education may be on the verge of a golden age.
