Industrial relations in Chinese multinational corporations in Europe
As an introduction to the special issue titled ‘China’s Influence on Industrial Relations in Europe and Beyond’, this article sets the scene by providing an overview of the emerging influence of Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) in Europe. With a critique of the institutional approach, an approach which has dominated debates about FDI behaviour, and its implications for industrial relations in host countries, we employ a regional lens to ex…
The Rise and Fall of Student Labour Activism in Authoritarian China
Pension Systems and Labour Resistance in Post-socialist China and Vietnam
Situated within the literature on welfare regimes, this article investigates workers' contestation of pension arrangements in post-socialist, authoritarian China and Vietnam, and considers the effects of their actions. Scholars have highlighted economic, cultural, political regime type and political institutions as factors crucial to understanding the welfare regimes of China and Vietnam. However, the "labour factor" – that is, how worker resista…
From production to reproduction
Workers in the global South are becoming increasingly sensitive to their pension rights. In recent years, rural migrant workers in China have staged a series of protests to fight for pension protection. Drawing from two in-depth case studies conducted in the Pearl River Delta, we explain why workers staged pension strikes, what these protests looked like, how the employers and the government responded, and how these protests differed from previou…
Movement-oriented labor organizations in an authoritarian regime
How do labor organizations with a movement orientation arise in an authoritarian regime? How do they organize workers collectively in a repressive society? What movement roles do they play? What challenges do they face? To answer these questions, I use synthesized social movement theories to examine movement-oriented labor non-governmental organizations in China. Based on qualitative data collected through triangulated sources, I find that moveme…
Labor-related civil society actors in China
Hegemonic Transformation
This book contends that the Chinese economic reform inaugurated since 1978 has been a top-down passive revolution, in Gramsci's term, and that after three decades of reform the role of the Chinese sta
Putting the Chinese State in its Place
The Chinese party-state has been depicted in three major forms by the existing studies – the authoritarian state, developmental state and corporatist state. These depictions, however, only offer a partial understanding of the Chinese party-state and have failed to grasp its totality. Drawing upon the theoretical insights of Antonio Gramsci, this article contends that Chinese economic reform inaugurated in 1978 has been a top-down passive revoluti…
Bringing Class Struggles Back
This article finds both the ‘weakening-state’ hypothesis of neo-liberalism and the ‘state as autonomous actor’ approach adopted by many current China studies dissatisfying towards an understanding of the Chinese state. The authors have therefore conducted a Marxian investigation of the Chinese state. We argue that the state is socially embedded; it is the field and condensation of class struggle. The gulf separating global capital and internal mi…
