ILWCH on Strikes and Social Conflicts
A special issue of International Labor and Working Class History (83, Spring 2013) tackles the theme Strikes and Social Conflicts. Social conflicts form a major axis of 20th century history and should constitute an important line of academic research and writing, according to ILWCH issue editors and IISH research fellows Sjaak van der Velden and Raquel Varela. They should be studied in an interdisciplinary, global, long term historical and non-Eurocentric perspective.
