Chinese and Japanese trade unions may seem emasculated and weak
when compared with their Western counterparts in that they do not
stand up to management to protect the interests of workers. The
author's analysis in this text probes the reasons for this
difference, tearing down stereotypical notions about societies with
a Confucian heritage, to examine the significant role of law in
shaping industrial relations in modern China and Japan. Through a
comparative analysis of their trade union laws, this work analyzes
the role of law in shaping postwar industrial relations in China
and Japan and the interplay amongst such elements as the State or
the Party, management, and workers. The work focuses on industrial
relations in commercial and industrial enterprises, addressing such
issues as the performance or nonperformance of trade unions in
China and Japan and possible explanations, and the prospects and
limitations of using codified laws to effect change or control in
the postwar industrial settings of these two countries. The work's
features include: a comparative approach; the use of case studies
to maximize objectivity and insight; a unified and clearly
expressed thesis and conclusions including a summary of findings;
footnotes and cross references; and concise explanations of the
relevant legal provisions and the manner in which they have been
applied. This work enables academics and international labour law
practitioners to understand industrial relations in these two
countries in light of their own particular circumstances, to
ascertain whether their trade unions have fulfilled their role as
representatives of workers, and to evaluate the efficacy of law as
an agent of social change and/or social control. The book also
seeks to achieve a broader purpose: breaking through stereotypes of
East Asian peoples to promote international understanding, generate
thought-provoking issues and insights, and stimulate more research.
