Drawing from a study  of Bangladeshi construction workers in Singapore, as well as on comparative  material in the region, Bal shows that migrant labour politics are  significantly influenced by the specific form of production politics as well  as their variable outcomes. In contrast to contentious politics approaches,  this book sheds light on the extent to which migrant labour regimes can be  contested by workers and civil society groups and explains the recent rise in  migrant labour unrest in the region.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-09-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137548580\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-54859-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 250\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752467886220,"sku":"9781137548580","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137548580.jpg?v=1776691659","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137548580","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
