This important book contains case studies with substantive analysis of Chinese workers in a variety of settings: state enterprises, urban collectives, township and village enterprises, domestic private enterprises, and foreign funded enterprises. The cases include urban workers migrant workers from the countryside, and workers who are sent to work outside of China. The analytical framework for these case studies lays out why labor rights violations have been occurring in China and highlights the contex in which these violations operate and the extent to which these selected cases are not isolated incidents. Moreover, the dilemma of Chinese workers is put into international perspective: the context of the international labor market, the setting of competitive minimum wages in Asia, and the concern for Chinese workers' rights taken up by the International Labor Organization (ILO). This book debunks the conventional wisdom that Chinese workers are thriving because the Chinese economy is booming. Indeed the wage structures of these enterprises of different ownership types contribute to widening income disparities in China. The book uncovers what exactly overseas Chinese entrepreneurship (Taiwan and Hong Kong), means at the factory level. And it calls for a new approach to scrutinizing the phenomena of the so-called Chinese economic miracle and it's repercussions on other economies and labor markets.
One of the legacies of the unification of Vietnam under Communist leadership in 1976 was the problem of Vietnamese boat people. Tens of thousands of Vietnamese refugees fled the country in order to escape persecution and economic hardships. Since majority of them used small boats to flee the country to the neighbouring Southeast Asian Countries and Hong Kong, the Vietnamese refugees came to be called as 'boat people'. This dissertation is an attempt to analyse the problem of Vietnam boat people from 1975 to 1991 - that is from the birth of the boat people problem in the wake of American withdrawal from Vietnam in April 1975, to the conclusion of Paris Peace Accords on Cambodia in October 1991, which, among other things, facilitated Vietnam's "reintegration into the World Community" and the consequent growth of Vietnamese economy which in turn, it was fervently hoped, would not only induce the Vietnamese refugees to return to their native country but also discourage the Vietnamese from leaving the country.
"Written to commemorate the University of New England's fiftieth year as an independent institution, A Spirit of True Learning tells the story of the University's early struggles, its commitment to country students and the surrounding community, its rapid growth after autonomy, its development of a strong tradition of teaching and research, and its experiences over the last decade within the context of government reform and rationalisation." "This is also the story of a unique university. Like the Australian National University, UNE was founded during the great age of Australian nation-building and Keynesian optimism. Opened as an affiliate college of the University of Sydney in 1938, New England became autonomous in 1954. Its founders saw it as a deliberate attempt to bring the special advantages and the special problems of rural life in Australia under the spotlight of higher learning."--BOOK JACKET.
