Since 1984, I have written and been published on a wide number of subjects–as of this date, I have published over 275 separate articles and book reviews, including peer-reviewed articles, and four books.

My academic work is divided into books, Ph.D. dissertation, peer-reviewed academic articles, and book/movie reviews.

My articles that have been published in specialty and serious popular publications–in hard copy, in hard copy and on web sites, and sometimes only on a web site–are listed by Subject: Miscellaneous Publications; Chicago; International Political Economy; Neoliberal Economic Policies around the Globe; Environmental/Ecological Politics; Urban Politics; Media; Social Movements; War/Military/Empire; Philippines; Venezuela; Labor Theory; Building Grassroots Labor Internationalism; International Labor (not Philippines ; US Labor (not including AFL-CIO Foreign Operations); and AFL-CIO Foreign Operations. (With the broad exception of book/movie reviews, there is little overlap of the articles in the above-listed categories–and, whenever possible, electronic links to articles are provided.)

However, I later created a new category, Neo-liberal Economic Policies around the Globe, to bring together my writings on this subject from the Philippines, South Africa, Venezuela and the United States (from different categories)–each based on personal field research.
