dc.description.abstract
Yearly published competitiveness indexes make possible immediate comparisons
of investment and productivity climates around the globe. Against the backdrop
of an increasing linkage between competition, “good governance” and poverty
alleviation within development rhetoric and practices, this article places the
agenda of competitiveness in the context of political struggle. Based on
extensive interviews, I situate the “global” discourse of competitiveness in
the diverse conditions of two Central American countries, Costa Rica and
Nicaragua, in order to explore articulations and legitimacy claims of business
associations and labor organizations respectively in processes of labor market
flexibilization and economic change. Focusing on labor–capital and
state–market relations, the study contributes to the understanding of how
principles of competition are promoted, negotiated and contested within
transnational divisions of labor.
