The role of unfree labour has been central to the debate on colonialism and the spread of global trade in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Much has been written about particular colonies, but little examines colonial labour as part of a global phenomenon. This project does so by comparing companies, workers and the state across a number of European colonies. It asks theoretically innovative questions, syntheses extant research, and requires new archival research. Findings, to be published in international journals and monograph series, will contribute to historical and contemporary debates on the impact of globalisation on labour.

非自由劳动力的作用一直是世纪末和二十世纪初关于殖民主义和全球贸易扩张的辩论的中心问题。关于特定殖民地的著作很多，但很少将殖民地劳动作为全球现象的一部分进行研究。这个项目通过比较欧洲一些殖民地的公司、工人和国家来做到这一点。它提出了理论创新的问题，综合现有的研究，并要求新的档案研究。研究结果将发表在国际期刊和专著系列上，将有助于关于全球化对劳动力影响的历史和当代辩论。
