| The Changing Labour Relations in Asia programme (CLARA) aims to build a comparative and historical understanding of labour relations in different parts of Asia which are undergoing diverse historical processes and experiences in terms of their national economies, their links with international markets and the nature of state intervention. This understanding will be based on the promotion of inter-Asian cooperation and the cooperation between Asian and non-Asian institutions. This programme focuses on five strongly overlapping themes namely, the labour process, labour mobility, labour consciousness, gendered labour and labour laws and labour movements. Activities: The programme will promote several types of activities, namely: coordination of workshops; research projects, networking, publications, and the setting up of a databank. For the first few years, the main emphasis will be on workshops and publications |
