title = {Informalisierung und Arbeitskämpfe in Indien. Eine zeithistorische Perspektive auf die Gegenwart},
year = {2014},
note = {After sketching out briefly the development of industrial labour and
industrial relations in India, this essay examines the impact of
processes of informalisation on forms of industrial dispute. Examples
are drawn, in particular, from two industries, i.e. the automotive
industry and the “power loom” textile sector. For while the first
represents, as it were, the “inner front” of informalisation (i.
e. informalisation within the “formal sector”), the second stands
for the “outer front” of informalisation (i. e. the
decentralisation of industries that were regulated “formally”
before). The essay argues that:        (1) informalisation has reduced
the efficacy of industrial disputes that follow the laid down legal
procedures.         (2) labour law, despite its growing
non-implementation, continues to provide the elements of ideas of
social justice among workers.         (3) legally regulated forms of
industrial conflict are being overshadowed, at least partly, by
seemingly “primitive”, “archaic” forms of labour struggles.
Their brutalisation and relatively unorganised appearance can,
however, be explained against the background of contemporary processes
of “globalisation”.},
