Ordoliberalism Out of Order? The Fragile Constitutionality of Greek Austerity (Part One)
(2020-05)
The architecture of the European Monetary Union (EMU) has often been understood to be built on a fundamentally ordoliberal framework. [1] The precise characteristics of what constitutes an ordoliberal framework are often not clarified, and they have been widely debated in contemporary scholarship. But a crucial characteristic of ordoliberalism, and one that has received comparatively little attention, concerns the importance of grounding economic policy in a “constitutional order”: ordoliberal political economy insists ...

Greece: Austerity's unexpected allies
(2018-04)
Contrary to pre-electoral proclamations and the recent optimism of the government and its European allies, the situation since 2015 has only gotten worse. Pensions have been cut twice more (with additional cuts promised in future). More than 1 million Greeks have already suffered some form of appropriation due to debt, with another 1.7 million waiting in line - a number that represents only 70% of those indebted to the tax office. One in three face material and social deprivation (Eurostat, 2016), placing Greece third ...

Informality and Labour Regulations in Ghana
(Rainer Hampp Verlag, 2019)

Familienpolitik 2000-2013
(2015)
Unstrittig ist der hohe Stellenwert einer erfolgreichen Familienpolitik für die Lebensqualität der Bevölkerung. Es geht schlicht um die "lebensweltliche Mitte" unserer Gesellschaft. Dass Wohlstand und Wachstum des Landes nicht unwesentlich von Art und Intensität der Familienpolitik abhängen, sollte mittlerweile zumindest im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs ebenfalls Allgemeingut sein. Gleichwohl wird die Bedeutung des Politikfeldes in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung latent unterschätzt und immer wieder gering geachtet. Eine ...

1. How do labour- and capital-intensive sectors in Indonesia respond to competitive pressures brought about by trade liberalisation?
2. What are the implications of such responses on labour rights in the two sectors?
Employing ...
