About the Book:
A new, updated edition of a book which has been described as the primary work on Chinese labor law from a Western legal perspective. This book follows the evolution in labor and employment law accompanying China's modernization program since the late 1970s. The book explains how China has achieved phenomenal growth while maintaining a high degree of stability. For the reader's convenience, translations of primary sources discussed in the main text are provided as appendices, including the 1994 Labor Law, a standard form employment contract, and case reports.
"As a current introduction to an area of the Chinese legal system that is of growing interest to comparative scholars, policy makers and China's global trading partners alike, Jospehs' revised editon is an effective and much needed contribution that is likely to remain an authority in the field for some time to come."
— China Review International
"For readers wishing to get up to speed on the role of labor law in China's reforms, this volume is a good place to start."
— The China Business Review
"There is no doubt that the present volume serves not only to improve understanding of industrial relations in China, but also the future of law itself in a country whose destiny closely affects us."
— The International Journal of Comparative Law
