State corporatism, which encompasses the long‐standing theory and practice of interest organizing, is a form of authoritarian control where the government preemptively organizes social members into exclusive associations claiming to be their sole legitimate representative. The modern definition of the concept was coined in a 1974 article by Phillipe C. Schmitter who saw it as a system of representation of political and economic interests, although subsequent scholarship adopted a less structural perspective by seeing it as a form of political exchange. More recent views focus on the demise of state corporatism as a consequence of the process of democratization which empowers challengers to dismantle this device of control from the bottom up.

Rights Claiming in South Korea

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Although rights-based claims are diversifying and opportunities and resources for claims-making have improved, obtaining rights protections and catalysing social change in South Korea remain challenging processes. This volume examines how different groups in South Korea have defined and articulated grievances and mobilized to remedy them. It explores developments in the institutional contexts within which rights claiming occurs and in the sources of support available for utilizing different claims-making channels. Drawing on scores of original interviews, readings of court rulings and statutes, primary archival and digital sources, and interpretive analysis of news media coverage in Korean, this volume illuminates rights in action. The chapters uncover conflicts over contending rights claims, expose disparities between theory and practice in the law, trace interconnections among rights-based movements, and map emerging trends in the use of rights language. Case studies examine the rights of women, workers, people with disabilities, migrants, and sexual minorities.

Class, labour conflict, and workers’ organisation

Econ. labour relat. rev.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article is part of an internationally coordinated themed collection on ‘labour conflict, forms of organisation, and class’ exploring important questions. How can we explain the interplay of capital, the state, and the international order, in defining the persistence of labour conflict in changing historical and political-economic contexts? How have the economic, social, and technological transformations precipitated by the recent pandemic shaped the expression of work-related conflict? As part of a response to these main questions, the author and contributors of this collection conceptualise labour conflict and collective action in broader class analysis and examine the combined effect of state policies, migration, and digital innovation on contemporary labour politics. This article, drawing on insights from Marxist-oriented interdisciplinary approaches and feminist theories, seeks to suggest approaches to future studies on class, labour conflict, and workers’ organisation.
