  This article analyses migration decisions and labour market manoeuvring of Latvian migrants to Norway, as well as the economic and social conditions that influence their choices. How do they adapt to the labour market in Norway? Do they practise circular migration, or do they aim for more permanent settlement? For some circular migrants, ‘reinforced’ motivation for migration emerges gradually, partly related to differences in working conditions – lower workload, better enforcement of work-safety regulations and opportunities for specialising in their field. Family and networks can influence both return and permanent settlement, depending on whether these are based in the home country or in Norway.

  Addressing a number of 'missing links' in the analysis of labour and its geographies, this volume examines how theoretical perspectives on both labour in general and the organizations of the labour movement in particular can be refined and redefined. Issues of agency, power and collective mobilizations are examined and illustrated by a wide range of case studies from the 'global north' and 'global south' in order to develop a better and fuller appreciation of labour market processes in developed and developing countries.

  Rapporten er en empirisk analyse av erfaringene med Namibias fem år gamle eksport-produksjonssone. Bedriftsetableringene, deres omfang og produksjon analyseres på bakgrunn av den uttalte strategien. Sentralt i analysen står arbeidsforholdene for de ansatte, og diskusjonen om unntaket fra Labour Act bør fortsette etter prøveperioden.
