The Chinese Communist Party s response to the wave of factory
strikes in the early summer of 2010 has raised important questions
about the role that labour plays in the transformation of world
orders. In contrast to previous policies of repression towards
labour unrest, these recent disputes centring round wages and
working conditions have been met with a more permissive response on
the part of the state, as the CCP ostensibly seeks to facilitate a
transition away from a model of political economy based on low-road
labour relations and export dependence.
Labour, Geopolitics and Development in East Asia shows that such
inter-linkages between labour, geopolitical transformations, and
states developmental strategies have been much more central to East
Asia s development than has commonly been recognised. By adopting
an explanatory framework of the labour-geopolitics-development
nexus, the book theorises and provides an historical analysis of
the formation and transformation of the East Asian regional
political economy from the end of the Second World War to the
present, with particular reference to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan
and China.
This book will be required reading for students and scholars of
international relations, development studies and comparative
politics."
