Labour Market and Industrial Relations in Vietnam - Philosophische ...

Labour market and Industrial Relations in Vietnam
8-9 October 2012 • Nuremberg
The society and economy of Vietnam is currently
characterized by a rapid transformation process.
From 8th to 9th October 2012, Prof. Dr. Ingrid Artus
(Institute for Sociology/Friedrich-Alexander-University
of Erlangen-Nuremberg) and Prof. Dr. Uwe
Blien (Institute for Labour-Market and Occupational
Research of Nuremberg; Institute for Sociology/
University of Bamberg) are chairing an international
expert conference. The symposium is about taking
stock of the contradictory as much as rapid re-orientation
processes of the labour market and the industrial
relations in Vietnam. Building up an improved
scientific basis for the institutional regulation
of the labour market and amplifying the debates in
economic sociology and industrial relations theory
are the principal aims of the conference. During the
two-day conference experts from Vietnam and Germany
as well as international scientists will discuss
the relation between culture and capitalism, the
comparison of Vietnam with other transformation
societies, the interdependencies between German
and Vietnamese labour markets and the question, if
Asia is a new focal point of industrial conflicts.
Conference language is English.
