Re-Framing Trade
(Rainer Hampp Verlag, München, Mering, 2013)
Given the substantial and increasing encroachment of trade agreements into almost every aspect of economic

research uses core concepts derived from social movement theory to analyse the ...

Das Spektrum möglicher Antworten
(2000)
Seit gut einem Jahrzehnt wird über die so genannte Globalisierung viel geschrieben und geforscht. Es ist an der Zeit Zwischenbilanz zu ziehen. Hat sich mittlerweile ein Konsens herausgeschält, was Globalisierung eigentlich ist, was ihre Ursachen sind und welche Konsequenzen sie zeitigt? Oder haben zumindest die jeweiligen Interpretationen klare Konturen gewonnen? Der Autor gibt hier zunächst einen kurzen, keinesfalls Vollständigkeit beanspruchenden Überblick zum Stand der Diskussionen zum "Globalisierungskomplex" ...

Die Spielregeln der Globalisierung ändern?
(2000)
Zum Umgang mit der Globalisierung besteht eine Vielfalt von Konzepten. Der Übersichtsartikel unseres Autors in der Juli-Ausgabe der Kommune, "Globalisierung - eine Zwischenbilanz", schloss mit einer sowohl nach Strategie als auch nach Regelungsebene differenzierten Typologie der Reaktionen auf die Globalisierung. Die Strategien waren unterteilt nach Versuchen, Globalisierungstendenzen zu ignorieren, sich ihnen gegenüber abzuschotten, sich ihnen anzupassen und schließlich in Bemühungen, die Rahmenbedingungen zu ändern. ...

China's Labor Question
(Rainer Hampp Verlag, München, Mering, 2011)
The Honda workers’ strike in 2010 attracted world wide attention. It was one of thousands of labor disputes that happen every year in China, but it was the first major calling for the right of workers to represent themselves in collective bargaining. The question of representation is therefore the main topic of the book. The various contributors to this volume share the view that the Chinese party-state takes the protest against social inequality seriously. It has enacted many laws aimed at channeling dissatisfaction ...

The Pursuit of Alternatives
(Rainer Hampp Verlag, München, Mering, 2012)

These stories of emancipatory moments demonstrate that something radically different in terms of dominant socio-economic relations and mental conceptions of the world may arise out of and beyond capitalism. The Pursuit of Alternatives: Stories of Peoples’ Economic and Political Struggles Around the World ...

(Rainer Hampp Verlag, München, Mering, 2014)
This book investigates country-specific responses to privatisation by examining two of the most important Latin American examples of the 1990s, the Argentine and the Brazilian programmes, and one essential public service sector, electricity.

A multi-dimensional perspective provides a comparative analysis of ...

Reforming Cooperative Credit Structure in India for Financial Inclusion
(Rainer Hampp Verlag, München, Mering, 2014)
In the drive for financial inclusion in India, cooperative banks assume prime importance as they are much more accessible to the rural poor than commercial banks. While more accessible, cooperative banks' financial health is rather poor and, therefore, might not be able to serve the needy in a sustained manner. A committee led by Prof. Vaidyanathan has outlined a revival package for cooperatives. Besides suggesting an infusion of funds, it called for the adherence to certain stringent norms to ensure the financial ...
