Opis

This work provides a systematic introduction to, and exploration of, the emerging system of industrial relations in China and draws on the authors' extensive research and direct involvement in the developments taking place. The authors argue that there are both unifying and fragmenting elements to the ongoing development of industrial relations, but overall it is one in which the state continues to maintain a major and direct influence. Divisions between workers and managers may be escalating with increased open conflicts, but this book reveals that the picture is far more complex and contradictory than to assume that the solution is convergence with western-style industrial relations systems. The authors conclude that the industrial relations institutions and processes still act within a political context of the guiding hand of the Chinese Communist party.
