“…Various authors, moreover, point to the recent role of subcontracting in weakening labour unions, as well as the banding together of corporate and state actors to ensure the smooth circulation of goods despite the occurrence of strikes (Benvegnù et al, 2018;Folkers and Stenmanns, 2019). The propensity for technology to become ever more pervasive (and intrusive) has only added to these troubles, making it difficult for workers to mobilize without attracting personal retributions.…”

“…Nonetheless, it would be erroneous to conclude, therefore, that such remedial actions are sufficient to balance out automation’s encroachment. As Danyluk (2018: 636) reminds,labor-saving technologies and new business practices introduced during the logistics revolution have had devastating impacts on transportation and distribution workers, who have been made to bear many of the real costs of cheap shipping in the form of low wages, harsh working conditions, and precarious employment.Various authors, moreover, point to the recent role of subcontracting in weakening labour unions, as well as the banding together of corporate and state actors to ensure the smooth circulation of goods despite the occurrence of strikes (Benvegnù et al, 2018; Folkers and Stenmanns, 2019).

In recent years, geographers have evinced how infrastructure constitutes the bedrock of supply chain capitalism and its oppressions. This article interrogates how advanced automation – comprising robotics, artificial intelligence and software – is poised to politicize this infrastructural space further on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic. Reflecting on COVID-19 developments, the article shows how logistics is turning to advanced automation to drive productivity outside labour, spur self-service consumption through digital technologies and contest labour’s future. As automated infrastructure threatens to take hold, a configuration of exchange that increasingly places labour, but not profits, outside of capital’s circulations will need to be challenged

“…In Dow’s Freeport, TX facility, marshlands, tidal zones, floodplains, and the activities of farmers and city residents far upstream become sites of infrastructural management that aims to mitigate both sociopolitical and ecological risks to Dow’s control over water in the region ( Reddy et al, 2015 ). Corporate engagements in the production of infrastructural nature may present new possibilities for disruption or ‘logistical resistance’ ( Folkers and Stenmanns, 2019 ), but they also embed logistical networks further into the reproductive infrastructures that sustain human and nonhuman communities, potentially increasing the collateral damage of such disruptions.…”

The assertion that ‘ecosystems are infrastructure’ is now common in conservation science and ecosystem management. This article interrogates this infrastructural ontology, which we argue underpins diverse practices of conservation investment and ecosystem management focused on the strategic management of ecosystem functions to sustain and secure human life. We trace the genealogies and geographies of infrastructural nature as an ontology and paradigm of investment that coexists (sometimes in tension) with extractivist commodity regimes. We draw links between literatures on the political economy of ecosystem services and infrastructure and highlight three themes that hold promise for future research: labor, territory, and finance.

“…This caused an excessive international deliver scarcity of key components and prompted economic losses. As The Economist (2011) wrote withinside the aftermath of the catastrophe, "simply as a few economic establishments proved 'too massive to fail', a few Japanese providers are actually discovered to be too (Folkers & Stenmanns, 2019) essential to do without." After the earthquake, protection professionals emphasized the want for a greater thorough implementation of requirements including the ISO 28000, which prescribes, among different things, the identification of all stakeholders in a deliver chain, consisting of individuals who are simplest in an indirect, mediated courting to a chain.…”

The purpose of this study is to provide ideas in the existing literature from various sources that can be combined with the reality of existing scientific articles. The ideas and results of the research into this scientific article also provide an overview of the variables that can be used in further research such as data confidentiality, financial technology, logistics and government policy regulations. Of the three descriptions in the results and discussion above, there are three variables that can make future research materials or references, namely Financial technology that has been used with consumer confidentiality that is still not maximally maintained, secondly there is a government policy that clearly covers this financial technology so that it can be used. supervised by the government. Third, there are not many logistics companies that use financial technology as a means of payment to consumers, there are many obstacles, especially from management decisions and assistance that may be facilitated by the government with the existence of existing Financial Technology Institutions with cooperation. This qualitative research is still far from perfect, and only as a review material from researchers and as a contribution to the development of science, especially in the field of digital finance, and logistics in general. The research results of this article can provide thought benefits for science for those in need.
