Labor Unrest and Capital Mobility in Global Industries: A Comparitve Analysis of Auto, Mining and Textiles

这是为女性科学家和工程师设立的研究计划资助项目下的一个奖项。本研究将以二十世纪的汽车、纺织和采矿业为研究对象，研究劳工动乱与产业结构调整的关系。她将把她以前在这个主题上的工作扩展到更广泛的行业，构建一个世界范围的数据库，并提出更多的假设，为后续的研究做准备。更大的项目，将试图测试各种假设背后的力量，产业结构调整和搬迁。该奖项将启动研究，对改变现代世界制造业和就业的力量提供重要启示。因此，这个项目具有潜在的政策重要性，因为它可以帮助我们了解在什么条件下公司会或不决定搬迁或重组。除了这项研究的科学成果和社会重要性外，该奖项还将在很大程度上帮助年轻研究人员为更大的项目做准备，从而为加强女性科学家和工程师的国家基础作出贡献。

This is an award under the Research Planning Grant program for women scientists and engineers. The researcher will study the relationship between labor unrest and industrial restructuring in the automobile, textile, and mining industries in the twentieth century. She will extend her previous work on this topic to a broader range of industries, construct a world-wide data base, and formulate additional hypotheses as preparation for a subsequent, larger project that will attempt to test a variety of hypotheses about the forces behind industrial restructuring and relocation. This award will initiate research which should shed important light on the forces that are transforming manufacturing and employment in the modern world. As such this project has potential policy importance in that it may help us understand under what conditions companies do or do not decide to relocate or restructure. In addition to the scientific gains and social importance of this research, this award will materially assist a young researcher to prepare for a larger project, thereby contributing to the strengthening of the national base of women scientists and engineers.
