Chinese Labor Unions in an Era of Great Transformation: Challenges and Best Practices in Guangdong

When:
January 24, 2014 4:00pm to 6:00pm
Where

Kevin O'Brien, Political Science, UC Berkeley; Director, IEAS
How is the transformation of socialism to market capitalism in China changing the dynamics of Chinese labor politics? Based on the observations of strikes and collective bargaining in the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong, the approach toward state-society relations needs to be expanded to take into account of the impact of emerging labor politics. An alternative approach will be suggested to explain the challenges and best practices of trade unionism in China.
