Routledge Vietnamese Labour Militancy - Growth Economies Book

Explore the evolving landscape of worker activism in Southeast Asia with this academic study from Routledge. This book examines how capital-labour relations and antagonisms shape militancy in Vietnam, connecting local struggles to global worker activism trends. As Vietnamese labour politics undergoes major changes, this text provides essential context regarding the 2021 Labour code. This new law allows workers to join representative organisations that are not subordinate to the state-led union or the ruling Communist Party. By focusing on nominally formal labour within the garment sector, the book offers a deep look at the nature of Vietnamese politics on the cusp of reform. This volume is part of the Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia series, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in anthropology, sociology, and the shifting dynamics of Asian economies.
