The book will contribute to debates on ethical codes and labour politics in the global South, and do so within the contemporary neoliberal milieu of corporate governance regimes. It will also speak to debates on the advent of neoliberalism and labour politics by studying the ways in which labour has challenged, shaped and resisted capitalism and capitalist processes within the apparel sector"--
