1. Introduction: Labor Contestation at Walmart in Latin America as Test Case of Global Diffusion by Multinationals -- 2. Mediations of Global Diffusion: Walmart Meets National Institutions and Nested Agents -- 3. Testing Distant Waters: Walmart's Early Years in Brazil, 1995-2002 -- 4.

This book explores how the labor practices of the world's largest private employer, Walmart, were contested by unions and regulators in Latin America. With an in-depth case study of Brazil, and a comparative examination of Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, the authors analyze the problematic encounter between diffusion of home-office antilabor practices and evolving national institutional contexts that sometimes enable considerable union and/or regulatory resistance. Walmart's "repressive familial" and "anti-union" model is found to generate costs and conflicts that contributed to its exit from Brazil after 23 years. Scott B. Martin is a Lecturer in International Affairs at Columbia University, and The New School, USA. Joao Paulo Candia Veiga is Assistant Professor and Chair of Political Science of the Universidade de Sao Paulo (USP), Brazil. Katiuscia Moreno Galhera is Visiting Faculty at Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados, Brazil.
