(English, 1994, 333 pp)
Newly united and wealthier than ever, Japan's trade unions are a new force in Asian and international labour affairs. They could decisively influence transnational companies' labour practices, the spread of Japan's employment model, and world-wide campaigns for labour rights. Yet their international policies and activities remain largely unknown. This ground-breaking study into the "internationalising" of Japan's labour movement will be useful not only to trade unionists but all those interested in political economy, labour relations and Japan studies.
