Description

This groundbreaking academic work examines state workers' protests against privatization in China during its economic transition. The author explores how Chinese state enterprise workers have engaged with the discourse of workers' democracy whilst navigating new social relations created by privatization-oriented policies. By the 1990s, this discourse had become a tool deployed by the state to reduce its social obligations to workers and promote market-based reforms. The book provides critical insight into workers' resistance strategies, labour movements, and the complex relationship between state ideology and working-class activism during China's shift from centrally planned socialism to market economics. Essential reading for scholars of Chinese labour history, economic transition, and socialist development.

Key Features

Examines state workers' protests and resistance against privatization policies in Chinese state enterprises during economic transition.

Analyzes the discourse of workers' democracy and how Chinese workers deployed it as a strategy during workplace struggles.

Explores how the state adapted workers' democracy rhetoric to minimise social obligations and promote market-oriented reforms.

Published by Routledge within the East Asia: History, Politics, Sociology and Culture series for academic study.

Provides historical and sociological analysis of labour movements during China's transition from state socialism to market economics.
