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" ...
Aufsatz
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. ...

Regime-Interaktionen
(2009-12-22)
Die Entstehung eines globalen Arbeitsmarktes ist in den letzten Jahren ins öffentliche Bewußtsein gerückt. Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt, dass ein solcher Markt nicht von alleine entsteht, sondern eines komplexen institutionellen Arrangments auf internationaler Ebene bedarf. Mit ihrem Fokus steht die Arbeit im Kontext einer globalen Arbeitsmarktforschung, die über einen Ländervergleich hinausgeht, um die internationalen Regulierungen in den Blick zu nehmen. Viele der bisherigen Arbeiten in diesem Bereich konzentrieren ...

Striking for the Common Good
(2022-08)
The re-emergence of massive strikes in the public education sector, predominantly in the more conservative, union-weak American South, has brought seismic change to the industry and its workers. Solving the puzzle as to why these strikes were so successful against massive obstacles could beget better methods for organizing strikes in a period when neo-liberal reforms threaten public services around the world. Furthermore, an understanding of why these strikes were successful can contribute to the contemporary discourse ...

How can the concept of gender knowledge explain the gendered nature of the European Recovery Fund “NextGenerationEU”?
(2022-08)
The Covid-19-pandemic reproduced many long-existing gender inequalities and created new ones: women are over-represented in underpaid sectors such as the health care sector and were faced with the double burden of paid and reproductive work in the household, when kindergartens closed. As an answer to the global pandemic, the European Union (EU) implemented a recovery package, the #NextGenerationEU (NGEU) Fund. However, this fund reproduces existing gender inequalities, as most of the money is directed to male-dominated ...

Labor Rights, Working Conditions, and Workers’ Power in the Emerging Textile and Apparel Industries in Ethiopia: The Case of Hawassa Industrial Park
(2019-11)
To be able to participate in the global production network and enhance its manufacturing sector, the government of Ethiopia has been building industrial zones (Export Processing Zones) in various parts of the country. These zones have already attracted substantial investments into the country in the light manufacturing sectors, particularly, textile and apparel industries, as a result of which the country is gradually gaining the potential to become a global textile and apparel sourcing hub. Despite the governments’ ...

Assessing the Level of Self-Reliance and Livelihood of Encamped Refugees
(Rainer Hampp Verlag, 2020)
Achieving self-reliance among refugees is favoured by many international organisations, though hardly achieved for refugee camps. In many cases, deprived of their human rights, located in remote areas and without access to the local labour market, encamped refugees have no other opportunity than turning to negative coping mechanisms to survive, including sex work, child labour, crime and dangerous work in the informal sector. This book concentrates on measuring self-reliance and identifying factors influencing it in ...

Occupational Safety and Health Challenges in Southern Agriculture
(Rainer Hampp Verlag, 2019)
Occupational safety and health (OSH) is a core element of the ILO’s Decent Work Agenda. Despite hazardous working conditions in agriculture, unfortunately, OSH issues in agriculture are frequently ignored. This volume’s contributions from Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Ghana, India, Nicaragua, and Pakistan as well as from various disciplines highlight
- the prevalent patriarchal norms and practices which expose women to more health risks;
- the lack of training and education which leave smallholders and ...

The Dairy Value Chain
(2013-07)
By tradition dairy farming has been a prestigious occupation in the fertile lands of the Indus basin. In Pakistan, the practice of rearing dairy animals remained a complementary activity to crop production. Deeply embedded in the rural life, dairy farming still is a sign of prestige within the agriculture sector; it forms an integral part of the socio-economic activities in rural areas and plays a supportive role in mitigating the effects of poverty by providing essential food items of daily use, family income, and ...
