"The second half of the twentieth century witnessed the worldwide (re)emergence of the non-factory forms of industrial labor. Academic studies predominantly emphasize the economic and political globalization to explain this phenomenon. This thesis investigates the local urban dynamics of this `proliferation of the industrial labor practices' with a field research in Istanbul, Turkey."
