Informality, Labour Mobility and Precariousness
Supplementing the State for the Invisible and the Vulnerable
Gebonden Engels 2021 9783030824983Samenvatting
From the erosion of state legitimacy in Lebanon to the use of smartphones in Kyrgyzstan, from a Polish suburb to the music scene in Azerbaijan, this volume attempts to explain why, in a variety of world regions, a substantial number of people tend to ignore or act against state rules.
We propose to look at informality beyond simplistic associations of the phenomenon with a single category such as "informal labour" or "corruption".
By doing this, we propose to look for a correlation between the emergence, and persistence, of some informal practices and the quality of governance in a given area. We also suggest that a better understanding of the variety of informal practices present in a region can help conceptualising more adequate interventions and eventually improve the socio-economic conditions of its inhabitants.
