  Spanish syndicalism within the framework of international relations

  The case of the General Workers Unions (1888-1986)

  The emergence of a labour movement, of socialist obedience, more specifically, in Spain, goes hand in hand with internationalism. From its creation, in 1888, the General Union of Workers (UGT) has tried to incorporate the international labour movement. Thus, through time, UGT joined the main organizations such as the International Federation of Trade Unions, the World Federation of Trade Unions, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and the European Trade Union Confederation. The UGT also takes part in the work by the International Labour Organization and fosters relations with other foreign organisations. Finally, the UTG is involved with international solidarity groups and organisations dealing with social security like the Democratic Solidary organisation in Spain. To this day, few studies have been conducted on the importance of those links on the growth of the UGT, notably at some crucial moments of its existence such as the Francoist dictatorship and the transition towards democracy. These relations played a decisive part in the survival of  socialist trade unions.

  Wages, labour markets, solidarity in European construction since the end of the 1960s

  The financial crises faced by Greece, Italy and Spain since 2010 have caused a vast movement of reforms both at European and national levels. Three aspects are of particular importance : increasing public financial transfers through the institution of intervention funds to support the economies of the States in difficulty ; the reduction of the deficits and debts of Member States ; reforms of labour markets and social protection in the States in difficulty. It is on this last point that this working Group intends to focus in a historical perspective. This working Group will seek to consider how patterns of negotiation among European States have emerged from the late 1960s and early 1970s on this issue.

  Labour, Migrations And Sovereignty

  Le colloque portera sur la construction transnationale des politiques de migration et de travail. À travers ces objets, il s’agira d’étudier la dialectique entre échanges internationaux – d’idées, de personnes et de biens – et dynamiques d’appropriation nationales voire locales. Les réflexions de ces journées, alliant histoire sociale et relations internationales, concerneront notamment le statut des populations et des immigrants, la dialectique entre les droits sociaux des nationaux et ceux des étrangers, l’interaction entre politique sociale et politique économique, ou encore le rôle des organismes internationaux entendus au sens large, jusqu’à l’Union Européenne.

  Section « Études féministes » - cinquième congrès international Marx

  « Un autre monde est possible », mais quel autre monde ? Appréhendées sous l'angle des rapports sociaux de sexe, ces questions impliquent un détour. En tout premier lieu, un retour critique sur le concept de mondialisation. Les études féministes, en produisant de nouveaux outils, de nouveaux concepts, font apparaître de nouveaux problèmes et entre autres, la nécessité de penser non pas la juxtaposition des rapports de genre, de classe, de race, mais leur intrication ainsi que l'articulation du global et du local. Intrication, articulation, qu'on ne peut passer sous silence si on veut comprendre quels sujets politiques peuvent mener les luttes, qui donneront sens et contenu à ce que pourrait être un monde nouveau.
