The German Economy
Germany is clearly the dominant economic force in Europe. It occupies the pivotal position of being at the centre of both the EC and of attempts to rebuild the economies of East Central Europe. The German Economy traces the various aspects of German policy and growth, concentrating in particular on the last two decades. These include: the German economy in perspective the regional dimension fiscal policy monetary policy social policy the labour market banking and finance industry, trade and economic policy. In The German Economy Eric Owen Smith has produced the only comprehensive account of the contemporary German economy currently available in English.
Fair Shares
Conflict between labor and capital reflects the competitive and conflict-laden relations within the working class itself, Peter Swenson maintains. Fair Shares examines the internal conflicts of organized labor regarding distribution of wages in order to explain both union leaders' market-structuring objectives in the "political economy", and their imperative to shape and fulfill workers' notions of pay fairness in the "moral economy". Swenson develops an innovative theoretical approach to labor politics through a detailed comparative analysis of union centralization and collective bargaining in Sweden and Germany since the turn of the century. To create solidarity and overcome workers' opposition to centralized control of the labor movement, Swenson argues, union leaders depend heavily on moral appeals concerning fair pair distribution and on success in fulfilling workers' expectation of fairness. Swenson interprets union politics as the attempt to overcome what he calls the "wage policy trilemma"
Ulrich Beck
Since the 1980s, Ulrich Beck has worked extensively on his theories of second modernity and the risk society. In Ulrich Beck, Mads P. Sørensen and Allan Christiansen provide an extensive and thorough introduction to the German sociologist’s collected works.

The Challenge of Child Labour in International Law
Child labour remains a widespread problem around the world. Over 200 million children can be regarded as child labourers, and about 10 million children are involved in producing either agricultural or manufactured products for export. Franziska Humbert explores the status of child labour in international law. Offering a wide-ranging analysis of the problem, she explores the various UN and ILO instruments and reveals the weaknesses of the current frameworks installed by these bodies to protect children from economic exploitation. After assessing to what extent trade measures such as conditionalities, labelling and trade restrictions and promotional activities can reduce child labour, she suggests an alternative legal framework which takes into account the needs of children.
Experimentelle Politik — Reformstrohfeuer oder Lernstrategie
Die Analyse systematischen politischen Lernens markiert bisher eher ei ne Leerstelle im Kanon sozialwissenschaftlicher Forschungen, und dies trotz aller Forschungen zur Politikberatung, zur Forschungsnutzung und zum Forschungstransfer. Die hier versammelten, bereits im Herbst 1979 auf der Jahrestagung der DVPW in Augsburg gehaltenen Vortrage einer Arbeitsgruppe, die sich unter dem Stichwort Evaluierungsforschung seit 1978 im Rahmen der Jahrestagungen der sozialwissenschaftlichen Vereini gungen immer wieder traf, sind eine - wenn auch noch unvollstandige - Bestandsaufnahme, in der erstmals interdisziplinar versucht wird, Er fahrungen aus verschiedenen Politikbereichen zusammenzufUhren.

Between Reform and Revolution
Twenty-three chapters by American, British, and German scholars explore the meanings of German socialism and communism from a variety of methodical and thematic perspectives often influenced by feminist and poststructuralist theories. Among the topics explored are: the Lassallean labor movement; depictions of gender, militancy, and organizing in the German socialist press at the turn of the century; communism and the public spheres of Weimar Germany; cultural socialism, popular culture, mass media, and the democratic project, 1900-1934; unity sentiments in the socialist underground, 1933-1936; population policy in the DDR, 1945-1960; the post-war labor unions and the politics of reconstruction; communist resistance between Comintern directives and Nazi terror; and the passing of German communism and the rise of a new New Left.

Die Republik der Wirtschaft
Knut Wolfgang Nörr präsentiert aus dem Blickwinkel der wirtschaftlichen Ordnungs- und Verfassungszusammenhänge eine Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland für die zwei Jahrzehnte von der sozial-liberalen Koalition bis zur Wiedervereinigung (ca. 1970-1990). An der Ambiguität des Wirtschaftssystems - Marktwirtschaft hier, organisierte Wirtschaft dort - hat die Entwicklung festgehalten; marktwirtschaftlich orientiert war beispielsweise die Einführung der Fusionskontrolle, organisiert-wirtschaftlich die Mitbestimmung im Unternehmen. Der Autor zeichnet auch die Gesetzgebung und Rechtsprechung unter anderem in den Bereichen des Gesellschaftsrechts, der Rechnungslegung, des Kapitalmarktrechts und des unternehmensbezogenen Steuerrechts nach. Bei der Analyse sowohl der übergreifenden 'Politiken' als auch der einzelnen Rechtsgebiete werden die europäischen Einwirkungen gebührend berücksichtigt.
