Aufsatz
Double hegemony?
(2001)
The paper introduces research on transatlantic relations done by neo-Gramscian authors. This research is distinctive by focusing on class in international relations and by using the concept of hegemony in a relational sense. Hegemony is leadership through the active consent of other classes and groups. A central question of this neo-Gramscian research is whether an international class of capitalists has emerged. Some authors have answered in the positive. This paper, however, maintains that hegemony in the international ...

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. ...

Working paper
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 ...
Working paper
Social Inequality and Social Policy outside the OECD
(ICDD, International Center for Development and Decent Work, University of Kassel, 2012-01)
Almost all Latin American countries are still marked by extreme forms of social inequality – and to an extent, this seems to be the case regardless of national differences in the economic development model or the strength of democracy and the welfare state. Recent research highlights the fact that the heterogeneous labour markets in the region are a key source of inequality. At the same time, there is a strengthening of ‘exclusive’ social policy, which is located at the fault lines of the labour market and is constantly ...
Working paper
Together?
(ICDD, International Center for Development and Decent Work, University of Kassel, 2012-01)
This paper explores the relationship between migrant leaders and labour rights activists starting with the acknowledgment that this is often a source of frustration for all subjects involved. The collaboration between organisations of migrants and those of workers is not always smooth and truly collaborative, yet foreign workers have an increasing importance in the negotiation of better labour rights in Europe. The topic is discussed by taking the case of migrant domestic labour in Italy and the experience of Italian ...

Work and economic security in the 21st century
(ICDD, International Center for Development and Decent Work, University of Kassel, 2011-02)
In recent decades there has been a transformation of two central concepts of modernity – labour and the household. Ela Bhatt – the founder of the Self-Employed Women’s Association of India (SEWA), has made an important contribution to this transformation. Through the emergence of unions such as SEWA, the notion of who represents labour is being broadened; the marginalised are finding an institutional voice. Increasingly, the household is being recognised as a site of both production and reproduction. SEWA is not a ...
Working paper
Core Labor Rights
(ICDD, International Center for Development and Decent Work, University of Kassel, 2012-01)
The working paper’s main objective is to explore the extent to which non-compliance to international labor rights is caused by global competition. From the perspective of institutional economics, compliance with core labor rights is beneficial for sustainable development. Nonetheless, violations of these rights occur on a massive scale. The violators usually blame competitive pressures. A number of studies have come to the conclusion that non-compliance does not provide for a competitive edge, thereby denying any ...
