Recent developments in the world economy, including
deindustrialisation and the digital revolution, have led to an
increasingly individualistic relationship between workers and
employers, which in turn has weakened labour movements and worker
representation. However, this process is not universal, including
in some countries of Asia, where trade unions are closely aligned
with the interests of the dominant political party and the state.
This book considers the many challenges facing trade unions and
worker representation in a wide range of Asian countries. For each
country, full background is given on how trade unions and other
forms of worker representation have arisen. Key questions then
considered include the challenges facing trade unions and worker
representation in each country, the extent to which these are a
result of global or local developments and the actions being taken
by trade unions and worker representative bodies to cope with the
challenges. This book is dedicated to the memory of Professor Keith
Thurley, London School of Economics.
