THE "LOGISTICS REVOLUTION" - A transnational approach to an emerging storage industry

A talk by Delphine Mercier Director of Research at CNRS Laboratory of Economics and Sociology of Work. Warehouses hold a distinctive place in abandoned or overlooked territories, where they form true enclaves outside local law. They are also sites of innovation that reveal deep changes in labor relations and the organization of job markets. By combining rational stock management, employment flexibility, and multi-scale distribution networks, these spaces offer a privileged vantage point for understanding the ongoing transformations of transnational economies.
