Luigi Tomba investigates how the goals of a government consolidated in a distant authority materialize in Chinese urban communities and citizens' everyday lives.

Labor reform is only one component of the larger process of reforming economy and society experienced by China from the late seventies, and is probably the part of this process where paradoxes emerge most clearly. The book suggests a two-level analysis as labor theory and consequent policy and law making emerging from a rapidly changing ideological environment violently clash with the social and practical contradictions of policy implementation.

Luigi Tomba is a Senior Fellow at the Australian Centre on China in the World, Australian National University. He is the author of Paradoxes of Labour Reform: Chinese Labour Theory and Practice from Socialism to the Market and coeditor of The China Journal.
