摘要本文分析了为什么在全球生产网络的“边缘”工作的非正式劳动者缺乏“结构性”和“联合性”权力。它这样做是为了更好地了解他们的物质和政治条件的潜在变化，并作为将劳工置于发展研究中心的更广泛呼吁的一部分。这篇文章关注的是印度南部以农村为基础的劳动者，他们以农业劳动者和非正式工厂工人的身份相对不显眼地工作，以及一个“全球城市”（班加罗尔）的建筑工地。它部署了一个三方劳动控制制度框架，其中包括：(1)宏观劳动控制制度，它最终由资本主义生产关系定义，在印度的特点是特别高的非正式性（不稳定和基本上不受管制的工作）和分割（由于种姓的零碎影响）；(2)当地的劳动力控制制度，指的是特定地区的阶级关系是如何由积累和工作模式（它们本身是由农业生态、灌溉和远离非农业劳动力市场的差异决定的）、阶级和种姓的分布以及国家的不平衡存在所塑造的；(3)劳动过程，越来越多的标志是由劳动中介组织的“远程控制”。关于宏观劳动管制制度和劳动过程的辩论已经建立，但关于地方劳动管制制度的讨论却很少，这些制度在这里是新定义的，并根据“湿地/循环区”和“旱地/通勤区”之间的差异进行了讨论。这篇文章指出了劳动力具有更大的潜在结构和联合力量的地方。这些地区工人组织的增加可能会在更多“不知名”的地方产生连锁反应。
Abstract This article analyses why informal labourers working ‘at the margins’ of global production networks lack ‘structural’ and ‘associational’ power. It does so in order to better understand potential changes in their material and political conditions, and as part of broader calls to put labour at the centre of development studies. The article focuses on rural-based labourers in south India who work relatively invisibly as agricultural labourers and informal factory workers, and on the construction sites of a ‘global city’ (Bangalore). It deploys a three-way labour control regime framework that encompasses (1) the macro-labour control regime, which is ultimately defined by capitalist relations of production, and characterised in India by particularly high levels of informality (precarious and largely unregulated work) and segmentation (due to the fragmentary impact of caste); (2) the local labour control regime, which refers to how class relations in specific places are shaped by patterns of accumulation and work (themselves shaped by differences in agro-ecology, irrigation, and remoteness from non-agricultural labour markets), distributions of classes and castes, and the uneven presence of the state; and (3) the labour process, which is increasingly marked by forms of ‘remote control’ marshalled by labour intermediaries. Debate on the macro-labour control regime and on the labour process is well established, but little has been said about local labour control regimes, which are newly defined here and discussed in terms of differences between ‘wetland/circulation zones’ and ‘dryland/commuting zones’. The article identifies locations where labour has greater potential structural and associational power. Increased worker organisation in these areas could have knock-on effects in more ‘obscure’ sites.
