Capital Cities at War: Volume 2, A Cultural History

Cet ouvrage étudie les rapports entre les bases départementales ou fédérales des différents courants de la C.G.T. à la veille de la scission. L’étude, pour l’essentiel quantitative, s’appuie sur l’emploi de l’analyse factorielle des correspondances qui permet d’appréhender un nombre élevé de variables. Les luttes syndicales pendant la première guerre mondiale apparaissent comme un facteur déterminant de la scission syndicale de 1921, où se trouvent — tout autant que dans la scission du congrès de Tours — les origines du communisme français.

La scission syndicale de 1921

The Emergence of European Trade Unionism examines the pre-1914 development of trade unions in different European countries, including France, Germany, Britain and The Netherlands. Part one examines trade unionism in the iron, steel and textile industries, as well as the Dockers unions in the ports of London. A variety of locations is considered, large to medium towns, and textile and machine making cities. Part two continues with assessments of major aspects of industrial relations in these countries. Collectively the essays provide a fresh reassessment of Western European trade unionism in the four decades before the First World War. By taking such an overtly comparative position in terms of subject matter, geographical coverage and approach, the book offers intriguing insights and unusual perspectives into the national, international and transnational themes that run through the history of early twentieth century trade unionism.
