Con el inicio del siglo XX, las sociedades de Europa occidental protagonizaron el decisivo proceso de transición a la política de masas. Los estudios recogidos en este volumen centran la atención especialmente en las experiencias de España, Reino Unido, Italia y Alemania. Analizadas todas ellas desde una perspectiva comparativa, se constata que democratización, nacionalización y socialismo no son sino manifestaciones de un mismo problema, el de la transición a la política de masas, el cual debe entenderse también como transición a la política democrática.

The Polish crisis in the early 1980s provoked a great deal of reaction in the West. Not only governments, but social movements were also touched by the establishment of the Iindependent Trade Union Solidarnosc in the summer of 1980, the proclamation of martial law in December 1981, and Solidarnosc's underground activity in the subsequent years. In many countries, campaigns were set up in order to spread information, raise funds, and provide the Polish opposition with humanitarian relief and technical assistance. Labor movements especially stepped into the limelight. A number of Western European unions were concerned about the new international tension following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the new hard-line policy of the US and saw Solidarnosc as a political instrument of clerical and neo-conservative cold warriors. This book analyzes reaction to Solidarnosc in nine Western European countries and within the international trade union confederations. It argues that Western solidarity with Solidarnosc was highly determined by its instrumental value within the national context. Trade unions openly sided with Solidarnosc when they had an interest in doing so, namely when Solidarnosc could strengthen their own program or position. But this book also reveals that reaction in allegedly reluctant countries was massive, albeit discreet, pragmatic, and humanitarian, rather than vocal, emotional, and political.

La historiografía de nuestra Transición política ha concedido un fuerte protagonismo a los elementos del poder. En las interpretaciones mayoritariamente aceptadas, el papel del Rey, de Adolfo Suárez y de la clase política, en general, ha sido sobradamente reconocido. Por el contrario, no se ha tenido en la suficiente consideración la labor desempeñada por la clase obrera y sus organizaciones que, desde las fases intermedias de la dictadura, se habían embarcado en un constante y creciente proceso de protesta y reivindicación con marcados tintes políticos. La Transición a la democracia no hubiera sido posible en España sin la participación -antes, durante y después- del movimiento obrero y su empeño en acabar con la falta de libertades. Por otra parte, las investigaciones sobre el nacimiento y el desarrollo de las organizaciones obreras durante el franquismo y la Transición han olvidado sistemáticamente a uno de los sindicatos, la Unión Sindical Obrera, que surgió dentro de la órbita cristiana y del campo ideológico socialista, con vocación de autonomía frente a los partidos políticos. Tras las primeras elecciones legislativas de la democracia, una parte del sindicato se integró en la unión General de Trabajadores. Por ese motivo, es imprescindible estudiar su aportación al sindicalismo de orientación socialista. Ese es el objetivo de este libro: analizar la confluencia del sindicalismo socialista, en el complejo panorama del sindicalismo de la Transición.

Capitalism in its modern form has become universal and has a presence in practically every country in the world, including those which once called themselves Communist. This book studies its effects on different labor markets, from those linked to highly tertiary economies (EU-27, USA and Japan, to the most productive economies, such as China, and on to economic models that are in full transition from secondary to tertiary economies, as is the case in several Latin American countries.
