description In Mexico, the sociology of work was born out of a demand for critical thinking and a desire to link economic and productive restructuring processes to the transformation of work. The institutionalisation of the discipline developed against a backdrop of globalisation. regional economic integration (North American Free Trade Agreement) and hegemonic neoliberal thinking. The end result was that the research agenda, in its early days, focused on analysis of the productive reorganisation processes typifying certain strategic sectors; the impact of market liberalisation on collective bargaining (including in state-owned enterprises); and maquiladora industry characteristics. It remains that the robustness attributed to the sociology of work in Mexico would run up against its limits in interpretations of the plurality of activities and working experiences that exist outside of the framework of salaried work.
