| contents | Faltering standardization: conflict and labour relations in China’s taxi and sanitation industries Hao Zhang Eli Friedman Beginning in the 1990s, marketization of municipal services generally resulted in decentralization and fracturing of employment relations in China’s cities. This generated a series of strikes beginning in the 2000s, thus providing the impetus towards standardization and re-regulation of employment conditions. Based on a study of the sanitation and taxi sectors in Wenzhou and Guangzhou, we find that local governments have utilized three strategies in promoting standardization: unionization, public policy, and business consolidation. While outcomes vary somewhat across our cases, institutionalization remains weak at best and conflict persists. We conclude the paper through presenting a schema for comparing different strategies identified in our cases and those historically institutionalized in the Western world. publication.journalArticle |
