Opis

This book examines Chinese workers' experiences and shows how disenchantment with the legal system drives workers from the courtroom to the streets.

Recenzje

'Gallagher's book provides an invaluable guide to evaluating the impact of any new labor legislation that might be put forward. But the volume also has a broader reach. It should be of interest to any who are concerned with rule of/by law in China and the contradictions of autocratic governance more generally.' Manfred Elfstrom, Law & Social Inquiry
