〔英訳〕A.ホネット著 労働と民主的シティズンシップ
Honneth, Axel,
The Working Sovereign: Labour and Democratic Citizenship. Tr. by D. Steuer. 238 pp. 2024:9 (Polity Pr., UK) <727-81>
ISBN 978-1-5095-6128-5 hard ¥7,969.- (税込) US$ 35.00
What role does the organisation of labour relations play in the health of a democratic society? Axel Honneth's major new work is devoted to answering this question. His central thesis is that participation in democratic will formation can only proceed from a transparent and fairly regulated division of labour.The social world of work - where we spend so much of our time - is almost unique in being a space in which we have experiences and learn lessons that we can use to influence the attitudes of a political community. Therefore, by shaping working conditions in a particular way, we have a prime opportunity to foster cooperative forms of behaviour that benefit democracy, both by making mental room for these to flourish and by using the workplace as a rehearsal for democratic interaction in wider society.A job cannot be so tiring that a worker cannot think about political events; a job cannot pay so little that one cannot engage in political activity in his or her free time; a job cannot demand subordination which inhibits deserved criticism of one's superiors: economic independence, intellectual and physical autonomy, reduction of strain and crushing boredom, sufficient free time, self-respect and the confidence to speak up, and the chance to practice democratic interaction are all things which we must encourage in order to unblock access to democratic participation. Honneth argues that the reality of labour today increasingly undermines this participation - and he sets out the conditions necessary for a reversal of this injustice.Tracking the development of labour conditions since the birth of capitalism, this important book engages with a vital topic that has been neglected in democratic theory. It will be of great interest to students and scholars in philosophy, sociology, politics and the humanities and social sciences generally.

アジア太平洋における労働の将来
Dhakal, Subas P. / Nankervis, Alan / Burgess, John (eds.),

ISBN 978-1-03-245870-0 hard ¥39,946.- (税込) GB£ 135.00
Bringing together informed analyses on the challenges of critical skill shortages (CSS) in the Asia Pacific Region, this book provides 14 country reports to discuss the critical jobs and skills to achieve long-term policies and approaches towards realising the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).The contributors of the volume discuss the workforce projections and planning, existing programs that address the skills and jobs needed, and workforce policy challenges that need to be addressed to achieve the SDGs. The book identifies two types of critical skill shortages present in the workforce: one being skilled labour shortages in existing industries, and the second being soft skills like critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Extending the discussion beyond immediate skill shortages, the book assesses longer term policies and approaches to tackle the 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development.This book will interest researchers in the fields of human resource management and development, international business, development studies, and policy makers from the Asia-Pacific region.

Flores, Lori A.,
Awaiting Their Feast: Latinx Food Workers and Activism from World War II to COVID-19. (LatinX Histories) 320 pp. 2025:1 (U. North Carolina Pr., US) <727-241>
ISBN 978-1-4696-7986-0 paper ¥6,818.- (税込) US$ 29.95
Though Latinx foodways are eagerly embraced and consumed by people across the United States, the nation exhibits a much more fraught relationship with Latinx people, including the largely underpaid and immigrant workers who harvest, process, cook, and sell this desirable food. Lori A. Flores traces how our dual appetite for Latinx food and Latinx food labor has evolved from the World War II era to the COVID-19 pandemic, using the US Northeast as an unexpected microcosm of this national history. Spanning the experiences of food workers with roots in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Central America, Flores's narrative travels from New Jersey to Maine and examines different links in the food chain, from farming to restaurants to seafood processing to the deliverista rights movement. What unites this eclectic material is Flores's contention that as our appetite for Latinx food has grown exponentially, the visibility of Latinx food workers has demonstrably decreased. This precariat is anything but passive, however, and has historically fought-and is still fighting-against low wages and exploitation, medical neglect, criminalization, and deeply ironic food insecurity.

Greene, Julie M.,
Box 25: Archival Secrets, Caribbean Workers, and the Panama Canal. 192 pp. 2025:1 (U. North Carolina Pr., US) <727-242>
ISBN 978-1-4696-7948-8 paper ¥6,363.- (税込) US$ 27.95
When acclaimed labor historian Julie M. Greene researched her book The Canal Builders, which went on to be nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 2009, she explored a cache of first-person essays written in 1963 by the Afro-Caribbean people, mainly Jamaican and Barbadian, who migrated to the Isthmus of Panama to work as diggers, track shifters, or domestic servants in the Canal Zone. Held at the Library of Congress and stored in Box 25 of the Isthmian Historical Society Collection, they constitute the best primary source in existence on Caribbean workers' experiences during the construction project. Now Greene returns to this fascinating archive, and in this book, shares what it was like to be a migrant laborer on the construction of the Panama Canal. Caribbean workers faced life-threatening illnesses, accidents, racial discrimination, and culture clashes as well as the opportunity to materially improve their lives. Greene offers new details on the strategies of the people who built the canal and examines how colonialism, xenophobia, and racism shaped the process of writing and archiving the testimonies into Box 25.

Helfen, Markus / Delbridge, R. / Pekarek, A. et al. (eds.),
Essentiality of Work. (Research in the Sociology of Work) 260 pp. 2024:10 (Emerald, UK) <727-243>
ISBN 978-1-83608-149-4 hard ¥30,056.- (税込) US$ 132.00
The Covid-19 pandemic both popularized and politicized the designation of essential work. Interrogating the dialectics of essential work, this volume of Research in the Sociology of Work presents original research that explores the essentiality of work and highlights the experiences of essential workers during the pandemic, drawing on empirical studies in Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. Demonstrating an enduring struggle for recognition and dignity, as well as for revaluing and materially rewarding essential work, contributors examine the emotional labour involved in gendered care work, the impact of COVID-19 on residential care work, the politics of essentiality and the diversity and intersectional inequality of essential workforces. The final chapters are the first of a new recurring section spotlighting ethnography by presenting both new empirical research and in-depth reviews of extant contributions. Raising pressing questions about the essence of work and its place in contemporary society, Essentiality of Work inspires new debates about the centrality of the work experience and how labour is understood in modern life both for those undertaking work as well as those who benefit.

Kelan, Elisabeth,
Patterns of Inclusion: How Gender Matters for Automation, Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work. 274 pp. 2024:10 (Routledge, UK) <727-245>
ISBN 978-1-03-273172-8 hard ¥39,946.- (税込) GB£ 135.00
ISBN 978-1-03-266989-2 paper ¥9,761.- (税込) GB£ 32.99
It is widely presumed that digitalisation, automation and artificial intelligence (AI) shape the future of work. Yet gender is rarely considered in those debates. This path-breaking book, written by a leading thinker on gender, inclusion and organisations, Elisabeth Kelan, is based on in-depth research to show which patterns of gender and digitalisation emerge. By weaving together these different patterns, is it possible to understand the dynamic and complex ways in which gender and digitalisation in the work context are intertwined?The book highlights how futures of work are imagined between automation and augmentation. It shows which tasks are expected to be done by machines and where humans are expected to have a competitive advantage over machines. The book showcases how algorithmic bias is constructed as ultimately fixable and it analyses in/visibilities in AI production processes. Above all, the book shows how patterns relating to gender and inclusion are shaped and could be re-shaped.This innovative book provides a stimulating and provocative read for those who are interested in how automation and AI shape the future of work in regard to gender and what this means for inclusion.

Roche, William K. / Teague, Paul / Currie, Denise,
The Reconstruction of Workplace Conflict Resolution: The Road to the Workplace Relations Commission in Ireland. (Routledge Research in Employment Relations) 200 pp. 2024:9 (Routledge, UK) <727-247>
ISBN 978-1-03-285017-7 hard ¥39,946.- (税込) GB£ 135.00
Many attempts have been made in recent decades by liberal market economies to reconstruct public workplace conflict resolution agencies in response to major changes in patterns of workplace conflict. These have often been hampered or stymied by political schisms, stalemate or inertia. The radical reconstruction of conflict resolution in Ireland marks out a major exception to the international pattern and represents a case of successful adaptation and innovation in conflict resolution services and supports. Drawing on detailed primary research, and aimed at scholars, policy makers, professionals and students, the book examines the drivers of innovation in the Irish case and shows how the new state agency for workplace conflict resolution, the Workplace Relations Commission, operates and maintains the confidence of employers, unions, people at work and government. The Irish case is considered in comparative context and current strategic challenges facing the Workplace Relations Commission are assessed.

Steffan, Belinda,

ISBN 978-1-03-257413-4 hard ¥39,946.- (税込) GB£ 135.00
Drawing on a unique dataset of real women and their experiences of engaging in paid and unpaid work, Women in Work in Mid-Life explores the specific challenges that women in the UK workforce face, including women's health, pay inequality, gender bias, and the struggle to balance work and family life.From pay inequality and gender bias to the struggle to balance work and family life, the experience of women in the UK workforce is complex and multifaceted. We live in an economic climate where the population and workforce is ageing, and the over 50s are encouraged by governments to engage more fully in paid work. However, the path to achieve this is unclear. Through interviews with women in work, as well as an examination of policies and initiatives that can help support women's career development and encourage workplace retention, it points to a future for this demographic in employment.Women in Work in Mid-Life is an invaluable resource for professionals and policy makers seeking to promote gender equality and create a more inclusive workplace culture in the UK, as well as undergraduate and graduate students in psychology and the social sciences.

Bajcar, Beata,
Understanding Procrastination at Work: Individual and Workplace Perspectives. (Routledge Advances in Management and Business Studies) 262 pp. 2024:9 (Routledge, UK) <727-239>
ISBN 978-1-03-272822-3 hard ¥39,946.- (税込) GB£ 135.00
Understanding Procrastination at Work focuses primarily on procrastination in the workplace, offering a synthetic and comprehensive review of major theoretical concepts and empirical findings on general procrastination and its specific manifestations, causes, and consequences in the workplace. Building on theoretical insights and empirical research, the book proposes and empirically verifies an expanded conceptual framework that integrates individual and work-related factors contributing to work procrastination and mechanisms explaining this phenomenon. It sits at the intersection of two disciplines, integrating psychological and management knowledge so that a wider audience can benefit from its content. Thereby, it sheds more light on sources and explanatory mechanisms underlying procrastination as a universal behavior in the work setting, with meaningful implications for individuals and organizations alike. Overall, the monograph can serve as a contemporary compendium of knowledge that enables for scientific community and organizational practitioners to better understand procrastination behavior and its implications in professional settings. From the theoretical and empirical perspectives, the monograph provides practical cues to develop prevention and intervention strategies to effectively address and manage procrastination and enhance employee productivity in the organization.
