Pension Withdrawals and the Paradox of Social Protection in Vietnam
This paper examines the ongoing challenge of Vietnam's pension reforms: despite the promise of long-term security, increasing numbers of employees have chosen to withdraw their benefits prematurely. Drawing on interviews with factory workers in Hồ Chí Minh City, the paper analyzes pension withdrawals within workers’ household strategies and against the institutional logics underpinning reform trajectories. It argues that Vietnam's pension scheme …
Who's Eating Rice? Gay Vietnamese American Men's Experiences With (Sexual) Racism
Recent studies on the experiences of gay Asian men demonstrate that members of these groups experience both subtle and blatant forms of racism within lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) communities. This study expands on previous research by examining how gay Vietnamese American men experience racism within the gay community of Southern California, how racism affects members of this group mentally and emotionally, a…
Law and Precarity
Why do some people invoke the law (or resist it) as a way to solve their problems and achieve more stability in life, only to end up in another challenging and uncertain situation? This book offers an original understanding of the important, but understudied, paradoxical effects of law on the survival strategies of Vietnamese people who are caught to live and work in precarious circumstances. It demonstrates how precarity influences the way peopl…
Addressing gender discrimination in Vietnam's light manufacturing industry
Unfulfilled Justice
Through a case study of workers’ protests to demand owed wages and social insurance benefits after foreign management had suddenly fled the country, this article discusses the moral and legal dynamics of labor dispute resolution in Vietnam. It examines the local government’s use of extralegal measures, which combine a tactical deployment of the law and moral responsibility, in brokering a resolution. The article argues that these measures, while …
Law and Precariousness in an Authoritarian State
While sociolegal research in authoritarian regimes has examined the cultural and regulatory factors accounting for why and how people bypass, manipulate, or resist the law, little attention has been paid to an important double‐edged effect of law in legitimating and sanctioning subversive or illegal behavior. Through an examination of illegal house construction in peri‐urban Vietnam, this study fills this gap by drawing attention to the relations…
Coping with Precariousness
This article examines the role of social insurance law in the survival strategies of factory workers in Vietnam, especially when they are faced with pressing family needs and an uncertain future. Despite the official discourse of the law which encourages employees to accumulate social insurance for their pension benefits, workers in this study have considered their social insurance fund as a form of saving and opted to gain early access to it whe…
Legal Reform and Struggles Against Precarity
This paper contributes to the literature on precarity in Asia by examining the way in which state law interacts with social, political, and ideological factors in shaping experiences of precarity. Different from studies of precarity that see law as a set of state regulations underpinning the precarious economic and political status of individual workers, this paper adopts a socially grounded view of law that incorporates workers' understandings o…
Labour Law and (In)justice in Workers' Letters in Vietnam
This article explores whether and how labour law matters in factory workers' grievances and demands in their letters sent to the unions and state authorities in Đồng Nai Province, an industrial hub in the south of Vietnam. An examination of the letters demonstrates that the legalistic language of rights and other provisions in the Labour Code plays little role in shaping workers' accounts. A majority of letter writers instead referred to moral as…
Workers’ Strikes in Vietnam from a Regulatory Perspective
The persistence of factory strikes in Vietnam has strained the country’s industrial relations system. This paper examines workers’ strikes from a regulatory perspective to evaluate the effects and limitations of labour law in establishing harmonious labour relationships. In Vietnam, the Labour Code regulates employment relations on a contractual basis, stipulating certain rights and obligations for both employers and employees. Workers’ struggles…
Pun Ngai, Migrant Labor in China
The lives and struggles of the working class in China have never ceased to be a fertile ground for scholarly exploration. Pun Ngai, one of the most cited scholars in this field, will again fascinate the readers with her recent book Migrant Labor in China: Post-Socialist Transformations. Her book covers a topic that has received wide coverage, yet this work displays the vigour and passion of an activist scholar who used to complete her ethnography…
Labour Unrest in Vietnam and China
This article reviews three recent books on labour politics in Vietnam and China: Angie Tran’s Ties That Bind: Cultural Identity, Class and Law in Vietnam’s Labor Resistance; Jeffrey Becker’s Social Ties, Resources and Migrant Labor Contention in Contemporary China: From Peasants to Protesters, and Eli Friedman’s Insurgency Trap: Labor Politics in Post-Socialist China. These three books capture the changing patterns of labour unrest and labour ins…
Rethinking State-Society Relations in Vietnam
The growing private sector in the post-reform Vietnamese economy and its new forms of mobilisation have led to newly emergent social forces that have shaped internal state agendas and political deliberations. With a view to exploring the nature of institutional change in Vietnam, I argue that business associations have played a crucial intermediary role between the state and the private sector over past decades. These associations and the spaces …
Business associations and the politics of contained participation in Vietnam
The development of the private sector in Vietnam since the mid-1990s has accompanied the emergence of organised business interests, which is recognised as vital to pursuing the agenda of economic modernisation. This article aims to explore the significance of the interactions between the state and business associations representing small-and-medium enterprises. It demonstrates that business associations have transformed state–business relations i…
