Presentation
My research on labour organization in developing countries was strengthened through participation in several international conferences in Sydney 2009 (International Industrial Relations Research Association’s 15th World Congress), in London 2010 (Royal Geographical Society with Institute of British Geographers, panel on Global Production Network, Development and Labour), and in Seoul 2011 (Workshop on Varieties of Labour Movements in Asian-Pacific Region, Chung-An University). Two conference papers have been published in Geoforum 44 (2013) and the Journal of Industrial Relations (2012). Together with Rene Ofreneo, University of the Philippines, I made a chapter on labour markets in Southeast Asia to the anthology, The New Political Economy of Southeast Asia, edited by Rajah Rasiah, University of Malaya, and Johannes Dragsbæk Schmidt, Aalborg University.
Within the research field of the global automobile industry I made a study for UNIDO in 2009-10 of the impact of the global financial crisis on the automobile industry in developing countries. With VGR Chandran, University of Nottingham Malaysia, we made another study for the ILO on the Malaysian automobile industry with a special focus on labour market conditions and industrial relations. The ILO report was subsequently published in a revised version in The International Journal of Automotive Technology and Management.
Research on innovation systems and processes in developing countries has so far been restricted due to lack of external research funding. One book chapter on the Malaysian manufacturing innovation system has been coauthored with professor Rajah Rasiah and associate professor VGR Chandran of Univesity Malaya, Malaysia and published in an anthology in 2012.
My ongoing interest in research philosophy and methodology was translated into a book chapter on realist research theory and critical realism that appeared in a Danish anthology on these matters within political science, sociology and administration in 2012.
