China's economic success has been founded partly on relatively
cheap labour, especially in the export industries. In recent years,
however, there has been growing concern about wages and labour
standards in China. This book examines how wages are bargained,
fought over and determined in China, by exploring how the pattern
of labour conflict has changed over time since the 1970s. It
focuses in particular on the city of Shenzhen where labour conflict
and workers' protests have been especially prevalent. This book
includes a detailed account of the transformation of labour
relations and labour policy in China more broadly during 2004 to
2009, a period when there have been significant changes in the
labour market, labour regulation and labour relations. The author
argues that these recent developments have brought to the fore the
class basis of workers' protest in China and have thoroughly
undermined the post-Marxist analysis of identity politics. The book
makes an invaluable contribution to studies on industry and labour,
as well as Chinese studies.
