本文批判性地评估了劳工机构的概念。首先，我们在人类地理学中简要介绍了结构/代理辩论，以便将代理方式最好地构想。其次，我们提出了一种对劳工机构的更具挑剔的方法，该方法可以解开其许多空间和时间维度。第三，我们制定了劳动力机构的“重新安装”概念，并确定全球生产网络，州，社区和劳动力市场中介机构是要考虑的关键领域。该论文认为，必须始终就这些更广泛的社会关系进行评估工人策略，这表明劳动机构有一个受限制的，多样化的概念。
This article critically evaluates the concept of labour agency. First, we briefly reprise structure/agency debates in human geography in order to distil how agency is best conceived. Second, we propose a more discerning approach to labour agency that unpacks its many spatial and temporal dimensions. Third, we develop a 're-embedded' notion of labour agency and identify global production networks, the state, the community and labour market intermediaries as key arenas for consideration. The paper argues that worker strategies must always be assessed in relation to these wider social relations, suggesting a constrained, variegated notion of labour agency.
