Routledge Political Protest and Labor Solidarity in Korea Book

Explore the evolution of labor movements in East Asia with this academic study from Routledge. This book examines the emergence of new trade unions in Korea following the democratization period between 1987 and 1995. It provides a detailed analysis of how white-collar movement factions worked to promote social reforms and build solidarity between different union groups. The text focuses on three specific sectors of the white-collar movement: financial, hospital, and research unions. By comparing these groups, the book looks at their success in driving social change and strengthening interunion connections. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in Korean studies, labor economics, and the social changes accompanying rapid economic development in East Asia.
