Beyond the Iron Rice Bowl

Der Band bietet die erste systematische Studie über Arbeitsbedingungen und industrielle Beziehungen in den Kernindustrien der chinesischen Exportwirtschaft. Auf der Basis von über dreißig Fallstudien multinationaler Unternehmen der Automobil-, Elektronik- und Textilindustrie beleuchten die Autoren die verschiedenen Produktionsregime im Kontext globaler und nationaler Vernetzung. Dabei untersuchen sie auch die Rolle der Gewerkschaften sowie die Bedeutung von kollektiven Tarifverhandlungen und betrieblicher Mitbestimmung in China.
