Research Profile

Ronaldo Munck completed his PhD in political sociology at the University of Essex in 1976 under the supervision of Ernesto Laclau. Since then he has developed a broad set of overlapping interests under the general rubric of political sociology and, more recently, the globalisation problematic.

His work on Latin America has been a constant from his first book Politics and Dependency in the Third World: the case of Latin America (1984) which was one of the early developments of the dependency perspective in the area of politics. This was followed by Latin America: The transition to democracy (1989) which promoted a critical engagement with the transition to democracy problematic then in vogue. The successful introductory overview Contemporary Latin America went through three editions (2002, 2007, 2012) and established itself as a key text. This strand of work culminated in Rethinking Latin America: Development, Hegemony and Social Transformation (2013) which brought a Gramscian perspective to bear and sought to provide a critical understanding of current politics from a broad historical perspective.

Professor Munck’s engagement with Irish political sociology was a result of his first academic post at the University of Ulster. This resulted in an overview of Irish history written at one of the most critical phases of the war Ireland: Nation, State and Class Conflict (1985) and was followed by one of the first oral histories Belfast in the Thirties: An Oral History (1987) which examined the republican and labour struggles of another pivotal era.  This was followed by one of the first all-Ireland analyses of the economy The Irish Economy: Results and Prospects (1993) which was widely disseminated. More recently, since being based in Dublin, he has engaged with the new migration which resulted in the path-breaking collection co-edited with Bryan Fanning  Globalisation, Migration and Social Change in Ireland: After the Celtic Tiger (2011).

A constant theme in his research has been the sociology of work and labour movements from a broad comparative and global South orientation. An early statement of a new field then emerging was The New International Labour Studies (1988) set the tone for the new comparative labour studies from below. There was also a still influential overview of Argentina’s powerful labour movement Argentina: From Anarchism to Peronism: Workers, unions and politics 1855-1985 (1986). His work with international colleagues who were an active community of practice in the new labour studies resulted in the collection co-edited with Peter Waterman Labour Worldwide in the Era of Globalisation: Alternative Unions Models in the New World Order (1998). This strand of work culminates with the widely cited Labour and Globalisation: the new ‘great transformation’ (2002) which brought to bear the insights of Karl Polanyi on the transformations caused by globalisation.

The impact of globalisation on his work followed a period in South Africa in the mid- 1990s and resulted in a series of texts seeking to go beyond the sociological wisdom of the time with a more critically engaged perspective. This research programme resulted in Globalisation and Social Exclusion: A Transformationalist Perspective (2005) and Globalisation and Contestation: The Great Counter-Movement (2006) both influenced by Karl Polanyi’s double movement thesis and seeking to foreground the importance of agency.  This approach was also applied to the issue of migration resulting in Globalisation and Migration: New Conflicts, New Politics (2008) and that of human security in the wide ranging collection co-edited with Honor Fagan  Globalisation and Security, 2 vols (2009).

Ronaldo Munck’s more general interest in the area of political sociology and social theory are reflected in The Difficult Dialogue: Marxism and Nationalism (1986) and Marx @ 2000: Late Marxist Perspectives (2000) which sought to renew Marxism in conversations with post-modernism. His consistent interest in critical development theory resulted in an influential collection co-edited with Denis O’Hearn Critical Development Theory: Contributions to a New Paradigm (1999), Water and Development: Good Governance after Neoliberalism (2015)  and (with Honor Fagan) the Handbook of Development and Social Change (2016). His most recent book is Marx 2020: After the Crisis (2016) which seeks to show the renewed relevance of Marxism for an understanding of the world and as a tool to seek a better future.

Ronaldo Munck has also played a consistent role in critical development studies, which resulted in a landmark collection co-edited with Denis O’Hearn, Critical Development Theory: Contributions to a New Paradigm (1999), the influential study of Water and Development: Good Governance After Neoliberalism (2015), and (with Honor Fagan) the wide-ranging Handbook for Development and Social Change (2018). Most recently, he has published a wide-ranging review of development theories in Rethinking Development: Marxist Perspectives (2021).

His book Marx 2020. After the Crisis (2016) seeks to show the renewed relevance of Marxism for an understanding of the world and to seek a better future. His influential book Rethinking Global Labour: after neoliberalism addresses the impact of globalisation on the workers of the world (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rethinking_Global_Labour:_After_Neoliberalism).

Professor Munck’s book on Social Movements in Latin America: mapping the mosaic offers a wide-ranging overview of the topic and has been described as a ‘tour de force’ and ‘a vibrant account that has it all’. Most recently, Ronaldo has published a set of essays inspired by Raymond William’s classic Keywords: Global Futures. Key Concepts for Social Transformation described by Pablo Pozzi as "An impressive effort to explore the concepts necessary to transform the world. This book is a tour de force. It helps us explain and reconstruct the ‘keywords’ or concepts we take for granted. It challenges us to rethink our understanding of the world. An essential book for the activist thinker."
