Description
Bringing together leading authorities and emerging young researchers, this edited textbook is aimed at students and scholars interested in the Chinese workplace and the impact that China is having on work internationally. Part of the Critical Perspectives on Work and Employment series, it is the first textbook to use labour process analysis to examine work and employment in China. This book discusses key features and contrasts in employment and labour conditions within China, as well as reviewing the impact of Chinese firms operating outside of China.
As the first collection to explicitly use labour process theory as an orienting perspective, this book is ideal for students and scholars interested in what is becoming the most significant country in the global economy.
