Canada ; Capitalism ; Collective bargaining ; Economic restructuring ; Industrial organization ; Industry ; Production ; Tradeunionism ; Work organization
The paper begins with a brief overview of how researchers have theorized the effects of capital's (re)organization of production on the geographies of tradeunionism. Following a conceptual outline of the emergence of community unionism, two

This article highlights the role of Dispute settlement mechanisms (DSMs) in free trade agreements, especially in relation to the World Trade Organization (WTO), and draws out some implications for local development. The study reviews literatures
that have addressed the mandate and rationale of the WTO's formal and legalistic DSM, paying especial attention to the realist perspective on international trade, the issue of fairness, and implications of asymmetric power relations for local development
. Economic geographers need to incorporate free trade institutional architectures in contemplations of local development.
