Fallen heroes in global capitalism (eBook, PDF)

Workers and the Restructuring of the Polish Steel Industry

• Format: PDF

Through the prism of 'Nowa Huta', a landmark of socialist industrialization, Trappmann challenges the one-sided account of Poland as a successful transition case and reveals the ambivalent role of the European Union in economic restructuring. An exemplary, suggestive case of multi-level analysis research.
