| Outline of Research at the Start |
The investigator will mostly need financial support for empirical researches in East Asia and the participation to conferences, and the acquisition of books and reports (IRC and FOURIN, i.e.). He does not need specific equipment.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
1. The new geopolitics of the auto industry implies a central role of China and new actors that threat the fordist conception of control.
2. A new international division of labor (cheap labor, unskilled workers, and poor employment conditions) that rebalance the fordist labor regime.
|
| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
This research highlights an important dimension of sustainability, the side effects of environmental policies on working conditions. Though many countries and car makers embrace environmentally sustainbale policies, those imply new forms of social conflicts and the worsening of working conditions.
