本文分析马尔代夫近期劳资关系与政治变革，基于访谈和文件数据，采用准扎根理论方法，揭示2003年9月政治事件引发的民主与劳资关系变化及其短暂性。
Abstract This paper analyses recent industrial relations (IR) and political changes in the Maldives. Critical incidents were compiled from interview and document data and analysed using a quasi‐grounded theory approach. The analysis shows that, precipitated by the political events of September 2003, profound democratic and IR changes took place, including the emergence of new IR actors and institutions. However, the outcomes of these changes proved short‐lived as old undemocratic practices were reasserted. The paper highlights the reasons why democratic and IR changes occurred as they did in the Maldives and why they reversed.
