Labour and Industry in ASEAN  | Subtitle :
Abstract :
The rapid transformation of social classes the Southeast Asia-Western Pacific region since the 1960s is highlighted in this study and is traced in the nature of new labour processes, capital formation, technological diffusion and the role of the state. Based on a detailed survey of industrial workers in Thailand, Malaysia, and Philippines--their living conditions, occupational background, attitudes to factory work and participation n trade unions-- this book explains, in the course of its wider elucidation of industrialization in three ASEAN countries, the accelerated development of an Asian working class. The survey results as well as conclusions drawn present a challenge to much conventional wisdom about development contained in modernization theory and the more radical dependency approach used by many social scientists and historians.
