We know very little about the context in which cargo shipping operates or the ways in which seafaring labour is organised. Drawing on evidence from South Africa and the Philippines, Waves of Change provides an account of globalization, seafaring labour markets and the state that allows us to understand how processes of globalization unfold in this industry.
Over 90 per cent of the goods we use – from our smartphones to the fuel in our cars – are transported by ships. The cargo shipping industry is the most globalized industry in the world, yet we know very little about the context in which these ships operate or the ways in which seafaring labour is organised. Drawing on evidence from South Africa and the Philippines, Waves of Change provides an account of globalization, seafaring labour markets and the state that allows us to understand how processes of globalization unfold in this industry.

Shaun Ruggunan has a PhD in Industrial, Organisational and Labour Studies. His work has focused on three areas: the global transformation of seafaring labour markets, the changing nature of professional work in South Africa and the need for a critical management studies approach in teaching human resources management.
