Labor Politics in the Oil Industry: New Historical Perspectives

University of Padua, October 23-24, 2014

The importance of labor in the history of national and international oil politics has been largely overlooked by scholars. Yet, as recent events in Libya, Algeria and Nigeria show, oil workers play (and have played) a crucial role in blocking or rederecting the flow of oil, while labor policies have often been central in defining relations between international oil companies and oil-producing states.

Pantarei Editions (Milan) has recently published ‘Un socialismo di rito Ambrosiano-Emiliano: The constituent congresses of the Italian Socialist Party (1891-1893)’ the fifth volume of the series Individual and collective biographies of the Italian working-class movement (348 pages, 25.00 euros). Should you wish to purchase this work, you can do so at 30% off the cover price by ordering directly from ourselves or from the publishers.

The main theme of the worklab conference 2014 is the question, how labour museums can find and redefine their position in a changing social, political and economic environment.

Conference subthemes

In order to make the conference theme as strong as possible, we have decided that all papers should fit within the general theme of the conference, respectively following subthemes:
