The objective is to understand territorial determinants that affect labor conflict. Specifically, the researchers will explore the economic and government penetration aspects at the territorial level that affect the frequency and characteristics of labor strikes. The specific objectives of the project are: (a) to determine the effect of various territorial economic and political factors on the frequency of strikes; (b) to determine the effect of various economic and political territorial factors on the characteristics of strikes; and (c) to explore the mechanisms through which the characteristics of the territory modify the tactics and strategies employed by strike participants.
