Einführung

Während die neunziger Jahre EU-weit von einer bemerkenswerten Renaissance korporatistischer Arrangements geprägt waren, scheint die Entwicklung nun wieder umgekehrt zu verlaufen. Ob sich tatsächlich ein Paradigmenwechsel vom Korporatismus zum Lobbyismus vollzieht, wie verschiedentlich diagnostiziert, oder ob die Interaktion von Staat und Verbänden künftig zwischen diesen beiden Polen oszilliert, ist Thema dieses Buches. Zugleich ist es als Fallstudie zur österreichischen Sozialpartnerschaft und als vergleichende Analyse der Entwicklung in den "alten" und "neuen" Mitgliedsstaaten der EU angelegt.
(Abstract zum Buch)
This book is the most comprehensive study of the European member states available. It covers the principal member states in separate chapters, as well as bringing together the smaller member states in comparative groupings, and also includes a chapter on the new member states. The country chapters look at the wider political issues associated with integration and not just policy machinery. In order to help readers understand the interaction of the member states, there are sections which cover analytical and empirical themes such as EU member relations and the European economy.
Reform, Zurückdrängung, Abschaffung, Auflösung – wie geht es weiter mit dem Staat? Wie ist es um seine demokratische Legitimation, die Rechtsstaatlichkeit in Zukunft bestellt? Kann er seine klassischen Aufgaben, Sicherheit im Innern und nach außen, Garantie sozialer Gerechtigkeit, noch erfüllen? Diese Fragen machen deutlich: Angelegenheiten des angeblich bürgerfernen Staates treffen in das Zentrum des Alltags des einzelnen.
Von A wie Abfall bis Z wie Zulassung von Fahrzeugen, von äußerer Sicherheit und Krieg über Verbrechensbekämpfung und Terrorabwehr zu Nahverkehr und Autobahn und Verbraucher- oder Umweltschutz – der Staat gilt als all- und endverantwortlich. In seinem »Goldenen Zeitalter« in den sechziger Jahren des 20.Jahrhunderts vermochte er diese Aufgaben als souveräner Nationalstaat mit unangetasteter Legitimität zu bewältigen. Das ist heute nicht mehr der Fall. Es entsteht zwar weder ein Weltstaat, noch wird das Gewaltmonopol zum Privateigentum. Aber der Staat zerfasert unübersehbar: Einzelne Funktionen werden an internationale Organisationen abgegeben, wieder andere an Unternehmen.
Die Diagnose der Gegenwart und eine empirisch fundierte Prognose der Zukunft des Staates sind das Anliegen der neun Untersuchungen, die zu der Schlußfolgerung gelangen: Wir werden eine Vielzahl von einschneidenden Transformationen erleben, und es stellt sich die Frage, ob man den Staat der Zukunft überhaupt noch Staat nennen kann.

Welfare State Formation in the Enlarged European Union: Patterns of Reform in Postcommunist States
(2007)
Eastern Enlargement of the European Union challenged the design of European Welfare states. Many authors discuss the impact of East European social security systems on their West European counterparts and fear a “race to the bottom”. This paper addresses welfare state developments in the eight post-socialist new member states which completed the accession process in 2004, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Slovenia (EU-8). We focus on institutional patterns and performance as well as on the impact of internal and external actors of welfare state formation. How do the EU-8 diverge from West European welfare states and how do they fit into the typology of welfare state regimes?

In fast allen europäischen Ländern bleiben heute mehr Männer und Frauen kinderlos als vor zwei oder drei Jahrzehnten. In Westdeutschland werden voraussichtlich mehr als 20 Prozent der 1965 geborenen Frauen und möglicherweise 30 Prozent der höher gebildeten Frauen des gleichen Jahrgangs ohne eigene Kinder bleiben. Das Thema Kinderlosigkeit hat in der jüngsten Zeit eine erhebliche öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit erweckt, jedoch steht die in Medien und Politik geführte Debatte auf wackeligen Füßen. Die dort verwendeten Zahlen zum Ausmaß der Kinderlosigkeit von Männern und Frauen in unserer Gesellschaft gehen weit auseinander und die vermuteten Ursachen der hohen Kinderlosigkeit in Deutschland sind widersprüchlich. Sind wirtschaftliche Unsicherheiten, schlechte Bedingungen der Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf oder einseitig karriereorientierte Lebenskonzepte von Frauen, insbesondere Akademikerinnen, für die hohe Kinderlosigkeit verantwortlich? Fehlt ‚nur‘ ein geeigneter Lebenspartner oder, wenn vorhanden, fehlt diesem das Interesse an Familie
The world's cultures and their forms of creation, presentation and preservation are deeply affected by globalization in ways that are inadequately documented and understood. The Cultures and Globalization series is designed to fill this void in our knowledge. In this series, leading experts and emerging scholars track cultural trends connected to globalization throughout the world, resulting in a powerful analytic tool-kit that encompasses the transnational flows and scapes of contemporary cultures. Each volume presents data on cultural phenomena through colourful, innovative information graphics to give a quantitative portrait of the cultural dimensions and contours of globalization.
This second volume The Cultural Economy analyses the dynamic relationship in which culture is part of the process of economic change that in turn changes the conditions of culture. It brings together perspectives from different disciplines to examine such critical issues as:
• the production of cultural goods and services and the patterns of economic globalization
• the relationship between the commodification of the cultural economy and the aesthetic realm
• current and emerging organizational forms for the investment, production, distribution and consumption of cultural goods and services
• the complex relations between creators, producers, distributors and consumers of culture
• the policy implications of a globalizing cultural economy
By demonstrating empirically how the cultural industries interact with globalization, this volume will provide students of contemporary culture with a unique, indispensable reference tool.
Analyzing the relationship between globalization and cultures is the core objective of this volume. In it leading experts track cultural trends in all regions of the world, covering issues ranging from the role of cultural difference in politics and governance to heritage conservation, artistic expression, and the cultural industries. The book also includes a data section that consolidates the recently commenced but still inchoate work of cultural indicators.

In its focus on the relationships between civil society activity across the political spectrum, communications and democratic change, Global Civil Society 2007/8 explores how activists and organisations are exploiting the effects of globalisation to create or expand spaces for debate and discussion, often using new forms of communications, even in closed regimes such as Burma, Iran and China. In addition to a focus on the civil society activity in illiberal regimes, this edition of the Yearbook examines the effectiveness of democracy promotion efforts by donor organisations and NGOs in transition countries, and how best to reinvigorate democracy in established democratic societies so that citizens can have a greater say in decisions that affect their lives. Global Civil Society 2007/8 is the seventh Yearbook in a series that has become the standard work on all aspects of contemporary global civil society for activists, practitioners, students and academics alike. It is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the key actors, forms and manifestations of global civil society around the world today. The Global Civil Society Yearbook is a collaboration between LSE's Centre for the Study of Global Governance, UCLA's Center for Civil Society and for 2007/8 the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.(About the Book, Publishers Information)

The Maastricht Treaty set a series of convergence criteria that Member States have to meet to join the euro area. The Treaty is not specific, however, about how to prevent free-riding fiscal behaviour once Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) is in place. The Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) represents an institutional response.1 Its design includes preventive and corrective mechanisms. The emphasis for the preventive arm rests on the monitoring of Member State behaviour. Euro-area Member States produce Stability Programme updates yearly in the autumn. The European Commission, for its part, assesses the programmes and makes recommendations to the Council of Economic and Finance Ministers (henceforth ‘ECOFIN’) on whether the programmes meet European fiscal objectives, which in particular includes the achievement of budget positions ‘close to balance or in surplus’. In order to move to the formal corrective arm of the Pact, a Member State would have to be found to have an ‘excessive deficit’.
Turkish domestic human rights organizations (HROs) have played a major role in developing a human rights discourse by using human rights as an interpretive framework to criticize, resist, and reform domestic political, social, and economic arrangements. This chapter contends that since 1986, domestic Turkish HROs have been major actors in the development of a domestically grown human rights perspective in Turkish politics. They have introduced framing issues as human rights issues and paved the way in fostering a culture of minimum guarantees and protections that any individual ought to enjoy within the Turkish political community.
