This chapter focuses on the conflicts fought in and around the institutions of wage-setting, trade union formation and collective bargaining in Thailand. It argues that over the past three decades, institutionalized processes of wage formation and bargaining in Thailand have been dominated by the interests of capital and the state to support a strategy of export-oriented industrialization based on the mobilization of cheap, unskilled and disorganized wage labour. However, this strategy may now be in transition as sections of business and state managers have recognized its limitations and the need to shift to a growth model with greater emphasis on domestic markets, productivity growth and higher wages. A key source of conflict is now focused on the institutional architecture that might underpin such a model.
