While discussion of the future of work is often focused on technological issues, whether working from home or the rise of AI, the new policy study “A progressive politics of work for the age of unpeace” published by the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS), argues that work is and always has been, a political problem. Political forces shape the contours of its future, particularly in a world grappling with a global pandemic and geopolitical shifts.
The ‘age of unpeace’ is marked by global interconnection, hostile competition, and the ever-present threat of confrontation. Through consultations with trade unions, experts, and social democratic representatives, a progressive politics of work is taking shape, addressing the complexities of continental war, geopolitical competition, climate crisis, deglobalisation, and increased state intervention.
