Democratization in the developing and postcommunist world has yielded limited gains for labor. Explanations for this phenomenon have focused on the effect of economic crisis and globalization on the capacities of unions to become influential political actors and to secure policies that benefit their members. In contrast, the contributors to Working through the Past highlight the critical role that authoritarian legacies play in shaping labor politics in new democracies, providing the first cross-regional analysis of the impact of authoritarianism on labor, focusing on East and Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Legacies from the predemocratic era shape labor's present in ways that both limit and enhance organized labor's power in new democracies. Assessing the comparative impact on a variety of outcomes relevant to labor in widely divergent settings, this volume argues that political legacies provide new insights into why labor movements in some countries have confronted the challenges of neoliberal globalization better than others.

Acknowledgments

We are grateful to Nancy Mills, then interim executive director of the Solidarity Center in Washington, DC, who generously provided us with space for a work shop for this volume in August 2010. At this workshop, chapter authors presented initial drafts of essays for this volume. These initial discussions were crucial for our project, and we appreciated the insightful comments that Solidarity Center staff shared with us. Ruth Collier offered particularly trenchant comments that helped to give a sharper focus to the volume. From its inception to final publication, this project has spanned several years. We thank the chapter authors for their belief in this volume, for their contribu tions, and for their patience. The final product has benefited greatly from the detailed comments of two reviewers. We thank Frances Benson of Cornell University Press for her guidance and support as we developed this project and Karen Hwa, Emily Powers, and John Raymond for helping to bring the manuscript to print. Finally, Maria and Stephen would like to thank Teri for the inspiration for the volume, and for tak ing the lead in shepherding it through its various stages.
