Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of Chinese labor movement in the context of capitalist accumulation of the last three decades in China. Conceptually it focuses on the sources of the bargaining power of workers which are assumed to be based on structural and associational dynamics. First, the structural sources of labor power are discussed around the debates of incomplete proletarianization. Second, the associational sources of labor power are analyzed with a focus on the organizational dynamics of Chinese labor movement and its successes such as wage increases. Thus this study argues that both structural and associational sources of labor's bargaining power have potentials to offer labor movement new fronts against capitalistic and bureaucratic structures.

Özet

Bu çalısmada Çin emek hareketinin dinamikleri Çin'in 1980 sonrası hızlı kapitalistlesmesi bağlamında incelenmektedir. Kavramsal olarak çalısma Çin emek hareketinin pazarlık gücünün yapısal ve örgütsel kaynaklarını tartısmaya açmaktadır. Çin emek hareketinin direnis stratejilerini ne gibi yapısal faktörlerin etkiledigi, özellikle proleterlesme ve yarı-proleterlesme tartısmaları baglamında incelenecektir. Emek hareketinin örgütsel gücü ise bu gücün unsurları ve son yıllardaki kazanımları üzerinden degerlendirilecektir. Sonuç olarak, bu yazıda hem yapısal hem de örgütsel dinamiklerin Çin emek hareketine sermaye ve bürokratik yapılar karsısında son yıllarda elde ettigi kazanımların ötesinde olanaklar sundugu iddia edilmektedir.
