Book Description

Publication Date: November 5, 1997 | ISBN-10: 0415169801 | ISBN-13: 978-0415169806 | Edition: 1

This book is the first major study of labor relations in New Order Indonesia for nearly thirty years. The author provides theoretical analysis on the role and prospects of organized labor in late industrializing countries. With the use of comparative models, Hadiz argues that labor movements face greater obstacles to their effectiveness the later it is that a country undergoes industrialization. Strict labor controls in Indonesia are shown to be the legacy of struggles between the army and the Left before the New Order, and the corporatist social and political framework is shown to continue to constrain the development of labor movements.
