社會所蕭新煌特聘研究員合編「Policy Responses to Precarious Work in Asia」出版
這本書由社會所蕭新煌特聘研究員與美國北卡大學（Chapel Hill）社會學系Arne L. Kalleberg傑出教授及澳洲Murdoch大學亞洲研究中心主任Kevin Hewison 傑出教授共同主編，也是三人過去幾年來攜手合作所進行的亞洲非典型勞動整合型國際比較研究計畫的最新成果。本書已由本院社會所於日前出版。
這本書的焦點放在亞洲諸多國家面對日益嚴重的非典型就業和無保障勞工社會問題時，所浮現的新政治經濟形勢，如企業掌握新自由主義趨勢所做的利己措舉，工會和工運在因應愈來愈不利勞工權益的反彈，以及政府又如何在企業的彈性要求和勞工的安全訴求之間調整新的勞動政策。評估不同國家的政府政策得失、成效和虛實，就是本書的用意。
本書除了有總論兩章論述外，有七章分別由在地的專家勾勒和分析東北亞的日本、南韓、台灣和中國四個案例，有兩章探討東南亞的東協會員國和印尼兩個個案，最後有一章聚焦南亞斯里蘭卡一國的分析。全書各章也對日益被管理與勞動研究學界高唱入雲的兼顧彈性和安全（Flexicurity）的勞動新模式，都有進一步嚴肅的檢討。
本書可說是在勞動的經濟和社會研究領域裡，首次以政治和政策著眼的國際比較著作。
