Paradoxes of Labour Reform - Chinese Labour Theory and Practice from Socialism to Market (Hardcover)

Labour reform is only one component of the larger process of reforming economy and society experienced by China during the late 1970s, 80s and 90s, and it is probably that part of this process where paradoxes emerge most clearly. This book suggests a two-level analysis: labour theory and consequent policy- and law-making emerging from a rapidly changing ideological environment from the beginning of Deng's Reform clash with the social and practical contradictions of policy implementation that emerges in the second part of the book, together with an increasing "resistance" by society vis a vis the state's overall policies as well as with an increasing - functional and tolerated - "informalization" of labour practices. The book borrows historical analytical tools in order to shed light on how policy-making takes place in contemporary China: an experimental and self-fulfilling process where decisions are taken only long after being introduced into daily practice. It should be of interest to students of contemporary Chinese society and help in the understanding of 25 years of Chinese labour reform.
