Description: Militants or Partisans by Yoonkyung Lee Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book explains the origins, processes, and outcomes of South Koreas militant unionism and Taiwans partisan unionism by investigating the interaction between labor unions and democratic institutions, especially political parties. Publisher Description The exceptional experiences of South Korea and Taiwan in combining high growth and liberal democracy in a relatively short and similar timetable have brought scholarly attention to their economic and political transformations. This new work looks specifically at the operation of workers and unions in the decades since labor-repressive authoritarian rule ended, bringing Taiwan, in particular, into the literature on comparative labor politics.South Korean labor unions are commonly described as militant and confrontational, for they often take to the streets in raucous protest. Taiwanese unions are seen as moderate and practical, primarily working through formal political processes to lobby their agendas. In exploring how and why these post-democratization states have come to breed such different types of labor politics, Yoonkyung Lee traces the roots of their differences to how unions and political parties operated under authoritarianism, and points to ways in which those legacies continue to be perpetuated. By pairing two cases with many similarities, Lee persuasively uncovers factors that explain the significant variation at play. Author Biography Yoonkyung Lee is Associate Professor of Sociology and Asian and Asian-American Studies at the State University of New York at Binghamton.
