  • Summary

  • We're thrilled to present this new epsiode with Joe Buckley, author of a fascinating new book, 'Vietnamese Labour Militancy:
    Capital-labour antagonisms and self-organised struggles'

    Vietnam has been undergoing significant changes, with a new Labour code that became law in 2021 allowing workers to join ‘worker representative organisations. Together with the increasing penetration of global capital into Vietnam, the situation in the country rasies a lot of interesting questions. And it's quite difficult to get solid, Marxist analysis of Vietnamese labor and social movements in English, so we were thrilled to have this conversation with Joe and we think you will find it insightful as well.
    Slight disclaimer, we did have some tech equipment and connections issues on both ends so it's not the clearest audio, but we did clean up the majority of the background noise in post-production. It's certainly very listenable and you, like us, will learn a lot from Joe's analysis!

    Joe Buckley received his PhD from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK and recently published a book: Vietnamese Labour Militancy Capital-labour antagonisms and self-organised struggles. He is a labour consultant focusing on Southeast Asia and has written and taught widely on labour issues in the region, especially Vietnam.
