Rising labour unrest is changing Chinese governance from below; Elfstrom shows that this is occurring in unexpected and contradictory ways.

Recenzje

'Manfred Elfstrom has written an innovative and compelling book on worker resistance and industrial relations in China … Elfstrom's book is a significant and successful attempt to bridge the gaps between different streams of literature. … this book is an outstanding one about the pioneering attempts to understand the new developments in labor politics and its broader implications on the Chinese economy, society and politics. It is very successful in providing rich case studies, statistical analysis and substantial policy implications and recommendations. It is a precious resource for researchers and policymakers.'
