太阳集团tyc8722罗斯琦副教授与复旦大学国际关系与公共事务学院博士后赵波老师合作的论文“The Old Conflict in the New Economy? Courier Resistance on Outsourcing Platforms in China”，近日于区域研究领域国际权威期刊The China Quarterly发表。

不同于以众包劳动为主的许多西方平台，中国外卖平台高度依赖外包骑手来提供高质量服务。然而平台外包劳动关系带来的冲突尚未被充分地考察。基于在华南地区的深入调研，本文揭示出一个有趣的事实——外包模式经常引发却又在很大程度上隐藏了骑手的集体行动。通过分析国家制度、多主体间关系以及工作场所层面的互动，本文指出平台企业在外包模式中拥有主导权，但其与承包商、督导和劳动者之间存在着内在张力，冲突依然存在于中国庞大的平台经济中，并且可能持续下去。

ABSTRACT

In contrast to Western platforms, which are dominated by crowdsourced labour, China’s food-delivery platforms rely heavily on outsourced couriers to provide high-quality services. The conflicts emerging from outsourced labour relations have been inadequately examined. Based on extensive fieldwork in south China, this study reveals an intriguing fact: the outsourcing model frequently triggers yet largely conceals couriers’ strikes. This study uses the work regime approach and labour bargaining power theory to analyse the complex dynamics created by the platforms. By scrutinizing state institutions, relationships among various organizations and workplace interactions, this study finds that the platform firms have dominant power but that inherent tensions exist between outsourcing platform firms, outsourced agencies, human supervisors and workers. Importantly, labour conflict is alive and potentially enduring in China’s gigantic platform economy.
