'This innovative study fills a significant gap in our knowledge of labor law, as it pertains to employer associations in China. It is further enriched by a practical understanding of the dynamics of collective bargaining and social dialogue in Chinese labor relations.'

Gregor Murray, Professor at the School of Industrial Relations and Director of the Interuniversity Research Centres on Globalization and Work (CRIMT), University of Montreal, Canada

'The book does not only discuss the special Chinese perspective in detail but also puts it in relation to Western systems. So this brilliant book is filling a gap in academic literature and will have influence in academic discussion in China and abroad. It is an important reading for all interested in China and generally interested in labor law.'

Heinz-Dietrich Steinmeyer, Professor at University Muenster, Germany

'Wu Wenfang's research focuses on a - from legislative and academic perspectives - neglected area of labor relations in China. Her thorough work offers an insight in private entrepreneurs' position and role in China's economy. This book is a benchmark for future research.'

Lin Jia, Professor at the School of Law, Renmin University of China, Executive Vice President of the China Society of Social Law

'This book does not only illustrate a set of statutes or rules but also analyses the law in action. This innovative perspective allows the author to discover the other side of collective bargaining processes: employers' associations. It is a book that fills a gap and should be read by all labour law experts.'

Luca Nogler, Professor at the Law School of University of Trento, Italy
