Dr. Md Saidul Islam

In Social Justice in the Globalization of Production, authors Md Saidul Islam and Md Ismail Hossain offer a powerful, interdisciplinary analysis of how the globalized production system reshapes labor relations, gender dynamics, and environmental sustainability across the Global South.

Using case studies from Bangladesh's garment and shrimp-processing industries, as well as migrant labor in Malaysia and Singapore, the book explores the intertwined injustices faced by workers, especially women, in a global economy that prioritizes profit over human dignity. The authors critically examine the systemic exploitation perpetuated by multinational corporations and unregulated markets, where unsafe working conditions, environmental degradation, and gendered vulnerabilities serve as the hidden costs of consumer goods in the Global North.

Drawing from political economy, feminist theory, global value chain analysis, and Amartya Sen's capability approach, this book presents a compelling framework for achieving social justice. It is a vital resource for scholars, policymakers, and activists seeking to understand and reform the moral failures embedded in the globalization of production.
