The Politics of West German Trade Unions
First published in 1986, this book assesses the politics of the West German trade unions in the context of their larger role as major actors in the polity. By focusing on the historical realities of the labour movement both before and after 1945, the study explains the extent to which organized labour solidified and challenged the dominant structures of politics and authority. It examines the metalworkers’ union, the construction workers’ union, the printers’ union and the chemical workers’ union and shows how the industrial reality of each organisation helped shape its political outlook and strategic thinking. This book will be of particular interest to students of trade unions, industrial relations and political economy in West Germany.

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"

"Seid ihr bereit ...?" - Priester sein in unserer Zeit
Das von Papst Benedikt XVI. ausgerufene Priesterjahr 2009-2010 war überschattet von erschütternden Veröffentlichungen, wodurch das eigentliche Thema, die spirituelle und theologische Neubesinnung auf das Priestertum zeitweilig überdeckt wurde. Die Theologische Fakultät Fulda hat sich daher dieses wichtigen Themas im Rahmen des Kontaktstudiums im Sommersemester 2010 angenommen. Im Rahmen von fünf Vorträgen wird die Frage nach Wesen und Sinn des priesterlichen Dienstes in der heutigen Zeit aus unterschiedlichen fachlichen Perspektiven beleuchtet, wobei sich Konturen des katholischen Priestertums im 21. Jahrhundert abzeichnen. Mit Beiträgen von: Weihbischof Karlheinz Diez Richard Hartmann Markus Lersch Christoph Gregor Müller Cornelius Rothy
