    Abstract: The authors in this book regard the process of economic expansion as a non-homogeneous and multifaceted phenomenon which has deeply affected human welfare, and cultural, social and political change. The book is a bridge between the theorists (Rosenstein-Rodan, Lewis, Myrdal, and Hirschmann) who in the post-war period analyzed regional inequalities, structural change and dualism, and the modern literature on--economic growth. The latter has emphasized the existence of multiple equilibria, bifurcations and various types of dynamic complexity, and clarified the conditions for the emergence of phenomena such as cumulative causation, path dependence and hysteresis. These are the typical ingredients of structural change, economic development or underdevelopment

    Abstract: Much progress has been made in empirical research into firm growth in recent decades due to factors such as the availability of detailed longitudinal datasets, more powerful computers and new econometric techniques. This book provides an up-to-date catalogue of empirical work, as well as a coherent theoretical structure within which these new results can be interpreted and understood. It brings together a large body of recent research on firm growth from a multidisciplinary perspective, providing an up-to-date synthesis of stylized facts and empirical regularities. Numerous empirical findings and theories of firm growth are also surveyed and compared in order to evaluate their validity

    Abstract: The notion and interpretation of path dependence have been discussed and utilized in various social sciences during the last two decades. This innovative book provides significant new insights onto how the different applications of path dependence have developed and evolved. The authors suggest that there has been a definite evolution from applications of path dependence in the history of technology towards other fields of social science. They also discuss the various definitions of path dependence (strong or weak) and explore the potential applications of path dependence in new areas such as political economy and economic geography

    Abstract: This important collection embodies the author's pioneering and on-going efforts to incorporate equity and efficiency principles into the economics of climate change policy. It represents a valuable compendium of work, both previously published and original, the range of which is not otherwise readily accessible. Adam Rose was one of the first both to identify the central role of equity among nations and regions in addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation and to quantify many equity principles so that they could be incorporated into formal models. Comprising classic explorations into GHG emission trading design with respect to burden-sharing, borrowing and banking, and political constraints, the papers contained in this volume provide guidance on coalition choices for individual states of the US and partnership choices for developing countries involved in the Clean Development Mechanism today and in emission allowance trading in the future. The impacts of mitigation policy across industries and socioeconomic groups are also analysed, using computable general equilibrium models to examine the economic implications of carbon taxes, fuel taxes, tradable emission permits, and strict regulation. In addition, the book establishes a firm grounding for policy analysis by providing a basic understanding of the carbon cycle, drivers of GHG emissions, and some economic impacts of climate change. The Economics of Climate Change Policy will be of great interest and value to academics and students of environmental economics and policy and will be welcomed by environmental policy-makers involved in climate change issues at the local, regional, national and international level

    Abstract: Measurement in Marketing Research investigates latent variables in marketing, focusing on current paradigms as well as recently suggested alternative concepts. The book proposes a unified scientific definition of measurement that allows for testing the hypothesis of the real existence of a latent variable. Thomas Salzberger analyses current measurement approaches in terms of their compliance with the scientific requirements of measurement. He reaches the conclusion that the predominantly applied practices, to a varying extent, suffer from substantial shortcomings, and suggests an alternative framework of measurement based on the philosophy of Rasch modelling. In the Rasch model great importance is attached to the mathematical principles of measurements, which take precedence over 'flexibility' in terms of accommodating idiosyncrasies of the data. The Rasch model promises to narrow the gap between the quality of measurement in the natural sciences and in the social sciences. The future of measurement in marketing is about to be set. This book aims to raise researchers' awareness of measurement issues and to contribute to a transfer of knowledge from psychometrics into marketing research. Marketing researchers and postgraduate students will find this book invaluable

    Abstract: George Warde Norman was a Director of the Bank of England from 1821 to 1872, a key figure behind the Bank Charter Act of 1844, and one of the founders of the Political Economy Club. In 1821 G.W. Norman began an essay on taxation as part of the utilitarian programme. His vision was for increased human happiness through a wholesale reform of the revenue system founded upon direct taxation in the form of a comprehensive property tax. He continued to work on the essay over many years, never losing his faith in the utilitarian ideal or his belief in the property tax solution as the key to fiscal happiness. This book represents G.W. Norman's final thoughts, themselves a manifestation of a significant element in the development of 19th century policy and institutions. This edition of a hitherto unknown work demonstrates the importance of utilitarianism to liberal thinking on taxation. As such, this unique book will appeal to specialists in the history of economic thought and to historians, especially those with an interest in the history of public finance, an area in which G.W. Norman's contribution has been almost entirely overlooked. Providing a new and previously unexploited source, it should also prove to be a fascinating read for postgraduates working in these fields

    Abstract: An entrepreneur who decides to found a firm and to hire employees has to tackle two central problems: their employees' coordination and motivation. Drawing on findings from cognitive, social and organizational psychology, this book sheds new light on the relevance of bounded rationality and social learning in the process of leadership. Silke Scheer bridges some of the missing links that can be identified within the theory of cognitive leadership and demonstrates how its scope can be broadened by investigating group level processes, and how they can have an impact on the socialization of newcomers

    Abstract: The book presents an overview of the general aspects of trade uncertainty, a central element in the analysis of economic diplomacy, illustrating that some instruments, such as sanctions (both positive and negative), increase trade uncertainty, whilst others--multilateral trade policy, for instance--aim to reduce this uncertainty. Commercial policy and bilateral economic diplomacy are explored, and economic sanctions analysed. An extensive review of the literature and empirical investigations of 161 sanctions and the commercial relationships of 37 countries provide topical and empirical perspectives on how international diplomacy may both be a cost and a benefit of the key drivers of productivity growth. Finally, policy conclusions are drawn, and a future research agenda presented

    Abstract: This book analyzes political decentralization and fiscal federalism in Canada and Germany, both traditional federal countries, and in Spain, a unitarian country engaged in the last two decades in a process of decentralization. Three key issues required for a well designed financing system are analyzed in depth, namely: tax assignment, equalization grants - i.e. redistribution of money from the wealthy regions or the national government to poorer regions, and the role of local governments in the administration of taxes

    Abstract: Dino Falaschetti and Michael Orlando unify the treatment of the many deeply related topics in money and banking in this wide-ranging book. By continually building on the assumption that economic actors are maximizers, they explain how monetary and financial services, as well as related governance mechanisms, influence economic performance. In this manner, Money, Financial Intermediation and Governance not only lets readers make sense of today's monetary authorities and financial markets, it lets them see through superficial complexities to the fundamental influences that will shape those organizations for years to come

    Abstract: This book considers themes, evidence and ideas relating to the prospects for regional leadership in East Asia, with particular reference to China and Japan assuming 'regional leader actor' roles. Key issues discussed by the list of distinguished contributors include: the extent to which there is an East Asian region to lead, China-Japan relations, different aspects of Japan and China's positions in the East Asia region, how the seemingly inexorable rise of China is being addressed within the region, how China and Japan have explored paths of regional leadership through certain regional and multilateral organisations and frameworks, the position of certain 'intermediary powers' (i.e. the United States and Korea) with regards to regional leadership diplomacy in East Asia. Invaluably, the concluding chapter brings together the main findings of the book and presents new analytical approaches for studying the nature of, and prospects for leadership in East Asia

    Abstract: This book provides an insightful view of major issues in the economics of corporate governance (CG) and mergers. It presents a systematic update on the developments in the two fields during the last decade, as well as highlighting the neglected topics in CG research, such as the role of boards, CG and public interest and the relation of CG to mergers. Two important conclusions can be drawn from this book: the first is that corporate governance systems that better align shareholders' and managers' interests lead to better corporate performance; second, there is an important relationship between CG structures and the quality of firm decision-making, one of the most important being the decision to merge or take over another firm

    Abstract: Paul Vlaar contends that strategic alliances and other forms of cooperation, such as buyer-supplier relationships, joint ventures and offshoring initiatives, increasingly stand at the basis of competitive advantage. Although contracts and trust play a crucial role in such relationships, prior studies on both governance solutions are generally confined to single theories, paradigms and viewpoints. Drawing on an in-depth case study, survey data and conceptual developments, the author advances a more integrative framework. He probes issues such as: • the tension between the need and the ability to contract • trust and contracts as co-evolving and self-reinforcing phenomena • contractual functions other than coordination and control • dialectical tensions stemming from contract application • standardization of contracting practices. By exploring these topics, the book offers novel perspectives on the role of trust in interorganizational relationships, shifting our attention and creation to the discovery of value by collaborating partners

    Abstract: Deng Xiaoping's economic strategy is widely regarded as a complete anathema to Mao's, but this study strongly argues that without the material foundations laid by Mao, it would have been very difficult for Deng to launch his reform and open-door policy. Deng basically shared Mao's aspirations and approach in pursuit of China's industrialization, and this had in fact helped to condition him to the successful gradualist methodology. Deng lost patience at times and resorted to the 'big bang' strategy, only to fail miserably. Taken together, the book tells a new story about the economics of China's transition. This is a highly thought-provoking study, blending institutional and convincing statistical analysis

    Abstract: Faced with intensified environmental degradation and decreased agricultural land productivity, the Chinese government has sought policy interventions to reverse both of these negative trends. Among the policy instruments is the Conversion of Cropland to Forest and Grassland Program (CCFGP) that aims to change the pattern of agricultural land use in 25 provinces and autonomous regions across China. This book provides the most comprehensive assessment of the CCFGP undertaken to date. It allows the consideration of fundamental questions pertaining to the sustainability of the land use changes brought about by the CCFGP, its cost effectiveness and the prospects for policy evolution. Contributions from a wide range of economists and scientists in the book provide policymakers in the Chinese government with relevant information with which to pursue more effectively agro-environmental goals

    Abstract: This book dismantles the arguments used by policy makers to justify the abandonment of full employment as a valid goal of national governments. Bill Mitchell and Joan Muysken trace the theoretical analysis of the nature and causes of unemployment over the last 150 years and argue that the shift from involuntary to 'natural rate' conceptions of unemployment since the 1960s has driven an ideological backlash against Keynesian policy interventions

    Abstract: An accessible and enjoyable look at the way the market REALLY works! How Markets Work presents a new and refreshing introduction to elementary economics. The venerable theory of supply and demand is reconstituted upon plausible and defensible assumptions concerning human nature, the law, and the facts of everyday life - in short - the 'Real World'. The message is that markets differ in ways that matter. Starting with a brief survey of property and contract law, the lectures develop several 'ideal types' of markets - such as credit, assets, and labor - while illuminating the similarities and differences among them. Care has been taken to ensure that the reformulations presented are accessible to students and compatible with a variety of non-mainstream traditions in economic thought

    Abstract: Networks have a widespread economic significance. They structure the way that market traders interact and configure relations within and between social groups, urban centres and nation states. Networks also determine patterns of authority and dominance in hierarchical organisations such as governments. This authoritative selection of recent work on the economics of networks will appeal to researchers in microeconomics, spatial and business economics as well as international economics and development. Social scientists and natural scientists will also find the book useful as a guide to the increasing wealth of economic literature on networks

    Abstract: Using detailed case studies of the first nine mainland Chinese companies to be listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange (1993-94), Alice de Jonge examines the evolution of corporate governance law and culture in China's H-share market. A story emerges not of tensions between ideas of corporate governance from two different legal systems--Hong Kong vs. mainland Chinese--nor about legal convergence as China adopts concepts from Anglo-American jurisdictions. Rather, it is a story of individual firms being pragmatic in mediating the different agendas of state-agencies that own or control them. Corporate Governance and China's H-Share Market looks at corporate governance in a cross-border context, is unique in providing a detailed understanding of China's H-share market, reveals why a beer company was the first ever Chinese firm to be listed overseas. This fascinating work will appeal to postgraduate students and scholars of corporate governance, Asian law and legal systems and Asian business, as well as Chinese scholars more generally. Professionals such as law practitioners working in Chinese law will also find the book of interest

    Abstract: Transport pricing is high on the political agenda throughout the world, but as the authors illustrate, governments seeking to implement this often face challenging questions and significant barriers. The associated policy and research questions cannot always be addressed adequately from a mono-disciplinary perspective. This book shows how a multi-disciplinary approach may lead to new types of analysis and insights, contributing to a better understanding of the intricacies of transport pricing and eventually to a potentially more effective and acceptable design of such policies. The study addresses important policy and research themes such as the possible motives for introducing road transport pricing and potential conflicts between these motives, behavioural responses to transport pricing for households and firms, the modelling of transport pricing, and the acceptability of pricing

After extensive coverage of the nature of inequalities in income and wealth in a market economy, and various notions of social justice, the author discusses public and private transfers in cash or in kind related to old age, childhood, illness and the like. Importantly, the book takes into account both equity and efficiency aspects

    Abstract: Abstract: "Die MigrationsforscherInnen haben lange Zeit eine 'Ausländerforschung' betrieben. Die Abgrenzung der Untersuchungspopulation erfolgte dementsprechend mit dem Kriterium der Nationalität. Es gibt verschiedene Gründe, weshalb die inhaltliche Bedeutung des Begriffes des 'Ausländers' für die Migrationsforschung an Aussagekraft verloren hat. Auch wenn der Besitz der deutschen Staatsbürgerschaft den Zugang zu den Statuspositionen einer Gesellschaft fördert, reicht erstens eine solche Operationalisierung nicht mehr aus, um die besondere Wirkung der Migrationserfahrung auf die Lebenschancen der Individuen zu untersuchen. Zweitens hat die Reform des deutschen Staatsbürgerschaftsrechts die Möglichkeiten des Zugangs zur nationalen Gemeinschaft erweitert, so dass innerhalb der deutschen Bevölkerung zunehmend auch Personen mit persönlichem oder familienbezogenem Migrationshintergrund zu finden sind. Nur eine adäquate Abgrenzung macht es möglich, die Mechanismen der Inklusion und Exklusion diese

    Abstract: Abstract: Der Autor erläutert in seinem Vortrag folgende These, aus welcher er eine Reihe von Prognosen und Spekulationen zur "medikalisierten" Gesellschaft ableitet: Der europäische Homo faber wird heute zusehends in eine Situation getrieben, in der es ihm nicht mehr erlaubt sein wird, von seiner natürlichen Konstitution wie von seiner Persönlichkeit so wenig zu wissen, wie es ihm gestern noch möglich war. Er wird zu einer kaum geahnten und doch gefürchteten Kenntnis von sich und zu Erwartungen gezwungen sein, weil solche Kenntnis durch die moderne Biotechnologie nunmehr möglich ist. Andernfalls würde der europäische Homo faber, der allzu ausschweifend von seiner Lizenz des Nichtwissens und der Eigenignoranz Gebrauch macht, umkommen und keine organisierte Gesellschaftlichkeit könnte ihm vom Sturz abhalten. Der Autor verdeutlicht diesen unbedingten Zwang zur Selbstkenntnis und damit zur Selbstverfügung anhand der raschen Entwicklung der Gentechnologie, insbesondere der In-vitro-Fertilisation

Im Forschungsprojekt Wirtschaftseliten zwischen Konkurrenzdruck und gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung an der Universität Bielefeld wurden mit Hilfe von Leitfadeninterviews politische und gesellschaftliche Leitbilder von hochrangigen Führungskräften von Großunternehmen und Wirtschaftsverbänden in Deutschland untersucht. Ein Ergebnis der Interviewanalyse ist, dass Wirtschaftseliten soziale Ungleichheit als naturgegebenes, in allen Gesellschaften vorhandenes und auf ungleichen Begabungen, Leistungen und Leistungsmotivationen basierendes Phänomen definieren. Ähnliches gilt für die Ungleichheit der Geschlechter: Die geringe Anzahl von Frauen im Management beispielsweise wird von männlichen wie weiblichen Führungskräften dadurch erklärt, dass Frauen insbes

    Abstract: Abstract: "Die Betrachtung russischer Zeitvorstellungen bietet zahlreiche Erkenntnisse zur Natur und Funktionsweise dieses sozialen Konstrukts, da ihre Herausbildung unter Umständen der Uneindeutigkeit und Spannung zwischen verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Teilsystemen geschah. Diese Einflussfaktoren sind auch in der postmodernen Welt stark präsent und verändern bereits die westeuropäischen Zeitvorstellungen. Dies legt die Hypothese nahe, dass in der Zukunft sich die westeuropäischen Zeitvorstellungen den russischen annähern werden. In einer Studie (Schilling 2005), wurden als Kontrollgruppen Vertreter der russischen und der deutschen Kultur zu ihren Zeitvorstellungen befragt. Als Experimentalgruppen wurden die Grenzgänger (Deutsche, die in Russland leben und Russen, die in Deutschland leben) befragt. Ergebnisse der Studie belegen die Unterschiede zwischen russischen und deutschen Zeitvorstellungen, die Herausbildung neuartiger Zeitvorstellungen in Experimentalgruppen und zeigen Faktoren, di

    Abstract: Abstract: "Die spezielle Zielgruppe (türkeistämmige Migranten in Deutschland) wirkt maßgeblich auf die Wahl der Datenerhebungsmethode ein. Die telefonische Befragung ist hinsichtlich des Zeit- und Kostenumfangs der Arbeiten die günstigste Methode, sichert darüber hinaus aber auch die bessere Erreichbarkeit von Personengruppen, die mit schriftlichen Befragungen Schwierigkeiten hätten. Allerdings birgt auch sie Nachteile, die die Erreichbarkeit von mobilen Personengruppen sowie die Erfassung einer möglichst umfassenden Zahl von Haushalten betrifft. Darüber hinaus sind durch die telefonische Befragung die Themen ebenso wie die tiefe der Fragestellung beschränkt. Hauptproblem bei der (telefonischen) Befragung von Migranten ist die Erfassung der Grundgesamtheit, da ungefilterte Zufallsauswahlen von Telefonnummern bzw. Adressen mit hohen Fehlkontakten einher gehen und ein enormer finanzieller und zeitlicher Aufwand benötigt würde, um eine angemessene Zahl türkischer Haushalte zu erreichen. Die Sti

    Abstract: Abstract: "Der deutsche Umweltschutzdiskurs steht gegenwärtig weitgehend unverbunden neben dem Wohlfahrtsdiskurs. Ein Ansatz, der explizit Zusammenhänge zwischen Umwelt- und sozialen Fragen problematisiert, ist 'Ökologische/ Umweltgerechtigkeit'. Dieser in den USA entwickelte Ansatz könnte auch hierzulande hilfreich sein, einen Brückenschlag von Umwelt zu Wohlfahrt zu ermöglichen und so die gegenwärtigen Wohlfahrtskonzepte um wesentliche Dimensionen zu erweitern. Dazu bedarf es jedoch einer entsprechenden Begriffsbestimmung von 'Ökologischer Gerechtigkeit' im spezifischen deutschen Kontext. Dieser Vortrag versucht hier einen kleinen Beitrag zu leisten. Der empirische Teil des Vortrags greift zunächst Erfahrungen auf, die gegenwärtig im Rahmen einer einschlägigen Sondierungsstudie des Wuppertal Instituts gewonnen werden. Erste Erkenntnisse verweisen darauf, wo sich besonders Schnittstellen zwischen den Diskursen ergeben können. Der theoretische Teil des Vortrags wird aus einem aktuellen Disse

    Abstract: Abstract: "Ähnlich wie Indien, Südkorea und Taiwan weist auch die VR China eine zunehmend männlich dominierte Geschlechterrelation bei den Geburten auf. Hinzu kommt eine vergleichsweise hohe Sterblichkeitsrate weiblicher Säuglinge. Auf Grundlage der Auswertung von Zensusdaten (1982, 1990 und 2000) zeigt der Beitrag langfristige Tendenzen der Geburtenentwicklung und der Säuglingssterblichkeit aus geschlechtsspezifischer Perspektive auf und diskutiert ihre möglichen Ursachen und Wirkungen. Als Ursachen kommen u.a. in Frage: Staatlich kontrollierte Bevölkerungspolitik, Stadt-Land-Unterschiede und patriarchalische Denkmuster, nichtregistrierte Mädchen und statistische Unterzählung. Wirkungen sind möglicherweise in Form einer Zunahme der Zahl unfreiwilliger Junggesellen in Armutsgebieten und von Frauen- und Kinderhandel zu erwarten. Abschließend sollen die gesellschaftstheoretischen Implikationen dieser komplexen Dynamik von demographischer Steuerung, kulturellen und technologischen Faktoren in C

    Keywords: Ungleichheit ; Symbolische Gewalt ; Habitus ; Milieu ; Deutschland
    Abstract: Abstract: Die Autorin thematisiert in Anlehnung an Pierre Bourdieu die Bildungsentscheidungen und Bildungsverläufe im Zusammenwirken von Habitus und Feld. Nach ihrer Argumentation tragen "Naturalisierungen" auch zur Aufrechterhaltung der sozialen Ordnung bei, denn sie lassen häufig vergessen, welche langen Phasen der Eingewöhnung und Habitualisierung hinter Vorstellungen von "Natur" oder der "Natürlichkeit der Verhältnisse" stehen. Die Autorin zeigt anhand von Fallbeispielen, dass gerade in einem hochentwickelten Land wie der Bundesrepublik Deutschland immer noch milieuspezifische, langfristig einsozialisierte oder inkorporierte, oftmals auch geschlechtsspezifisch ausgeformte Selbstbegrenzungen bis hin zu Mechanismen der Selbstabwertung stattfinden, die in vielen Fällen so selbstverständlich sind, dass sie als "natürlich" erscheinen. Bei Bildungsaufsteigern auftretende Spannungen zwischen Herkunfts- und Zielmilieu können dann nicht mehr als soziale oder strukturelle Spannungen interpretiert

    Abstract: Abstract: "Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird über die Folgen des bereits eingesetzten demographischen Wandels in Deutschland für die Kriminalitätsbelastung und das Sicherheitsgefühl berichtet sowie zukünftige Entwicklungen anhand von Bevölkerungsvorausberechnungen des Statistischen Bundesamtes prognostiziert. Neben Darstellung und Projektion objektiver und subjektiver Kriminalitätsindikatoren in Deutschland werden die Zusammenhänge zwischen Demographie und öffentlicher Sicherheit durch Berücksichtigung der USA international vergleichend untersucht. Während der demographische Wandel in Deutschland viele gesellschaftliche Bereiche, insbesondere die bestehenden Sozialsysteme, vor große Aufgaben stellt, dürften sich die faktischen Bedingungen der öffentlichen Sicherheit infolge der Alterung der Gesellschaft verbessern: Zu den wenigen Konstanten bei der Erforschung der Kriminalität gehört die Höherbelastung junger Menschen unter den Tatverdächtigen. Die Alterskurve der Kriminalitätsbelastung erreicht

    Abstract: Abstract: "Der Vortrag beschäftigt sich mit dem Themenfeld Bioethik. Fokussiert wird dabei der Diskurs zur Stammzellenforschung der erst vor kurzem neuen Auftrieb gewonnen hat. Ziel ist es, die Spezifika bioethischer Diskurse zu erklären. Die Positionen in diesem Diskurs laufen nämlich quer zu bewährten Explanans der Politikfeld- oder Diskursanalyse. Weder kann man Positionen an wirtschaftlichen Interessen, an professionellen Deutungsmustern oder gar (partei-)politischen Überzeugungen fest machen. Die Fragen der Bioethik durchschneiden gewohnte Koalitionen wie dies in ähnlichem Ausmaße nur noch bei Fragen des Schwangerschaftsabbruches der Fall war. Kann von einem sich anbahnenden 'Kulturkampf' gesprochen werden (Hintze 2001) oder geht in den Kampf zu ziehen für eine 'Forschung ohne Fesseln' (Schröder 2005)? Ein deutliches Zeichen für einen Kulturkampf kann darin gesehen werden, dass Kompromisse auf diesem Felde immer als 'faule' Kompromisse angesehen werden, und keine Seite wirklich zu befri

    Abstract: Abstract: "In soziologischen Evolutions- oder Modernisierungstheorien wird ein Wachstum der Bevölkerung implizit vorausgesetzt, jedoch nur am Rande thematisiert. Für Niklas Luhmann ist 'im Prinzip ... die Gesellschaft heute von demographischen Vermehrungen oder Verminderungen einer Bevölkerung unabhängig.' Der Vortrag verfolgt zum einen das Ziel, die Implikationen demographischen Wandels für die Soziologie konzeptionell zu verdeutlichen. Zum anderen werden die wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und sozialpolitischen Folgen der für Europa absehbaren 'Unterjüngung' angesprochen. Nicht das unaufhaltsame demographische Altern, sondern die Nachwuchsschwäche der Bevölkerung stellt das zentrale Problem dar, das sich auch durch Zuwanderung bestenfalls lindern, aber kaum in befriedigender Weise lösen lässt. Die zentrale These besagt, dass demographische Einflüsse in ökonomischen oder soziologischen Partialanalysen zwar zu Recht als im Vergleich zu anderen Einflussfaktoren schwach erscheinen. Aber die gleichs

    Abstract: Abstract: "Die negativen psychischen und physischen Auswirkungen der Arbeitslosigkeit sind in der Literatur hinreichend bekannt. Mit der seit längerem fortschreitenden Flexibilisierung des Arbeitsmarktes - beispielsweise durch die hier untersuchten befristeten Verträge - ergeben sich jedoch neue Fragen. Sind beim Verlassen der Arbeitslosigkeit über einen befristeten Vertrag die gleichen positiven gesundheitlichen Wirkungen zu beobachten wie typischerweise beim Wechsel in ein unbefristetes Beschäftigungsverhältnis? Sind eventuell zu beobachtende Effekte dauerhaft und vor allem gibt es Länderspezifika? Unterschiedliche Auswirkungen könnten beispielsweise auf die Häufigkeit der Vergabe befristeter Verträge zurückzuführen sein. Aus diesem Grunde vergleichen die Verfasserinnen Deutschland (wo die Anteile befristeter Verträge nur relativ langsam steigen) mit Spanien (wo inzwischen rund ein Drittel aller Beschäftigten befristet beschäftigt ist). Die Zusammenhänge zwischen Vertragsart und Gesundheit

    Abstract: Abstract: "Kontext: Die Entwicklung der modernen Biowissenschaften lässt vormals feste Definitionen der Natur des Menschen brüchig werden. Entsprechend waren biowissenschaftliche Themen in der Vergangenheit oft Gegenstand öffentlicher Debatten. In diesen Debatten werden auch die Grenzen wissenschaftlicher Forschung neu justiert. Entsprechend versuchen unterschiedliche Akteure, darin zu Wort zu kommen und mit ihren Argumenten und Deutungen ihre Positionen zu begründen. Eines der massenmedial prominentesten bio-wissenschaftlichen Forschungsfelder war die Entschlüsselung des menschlichen Erbguts. Fragestellung: Wir haben den massenmedialen Diskurs über diese Humangenomforschung in Qualitäts-Tageszeitungen und im Internet in Deutschland, Österreich, Frankreich, den USA und England mit einer systematischen Inhaltsanalyse rekonstruiert. Dabei haben wir drei Dimensionen medialen Erfolgs unterschieden: In welchem Ausmaß gelingt es Akteuren, zu Wort zu kommen (Standing)? Welche Bewertungen der Humang

    Abstract: This book assesses the structure of projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol. It explains why, instead of the expected bilateral structure where a company from an industrialized country invests in a project in a developing country and receives the emission reduction credits in return, a unilateral structure prevails whereby a company from a developing country finances the emission reduction project itself and sells the emission reduction credits. The book arrives at three fundamental, interconnected, conclusions: CDM is logically a unilaterally driven investment activity; CDM investment is an irrelevant compliance instrument for companies from industrialised countries and that this state of affairs is unlikely to change post 2012; and CDM thrives in less equal and less ambitious post-2012 climate regimes. Unique in its analysis of corporate views on investment in CDM projects, this book will find widespread appeal amongst climate policy analysts, company representatives involved in developing CDM acquisition strategies and climate policymakers. It will also be of interest to anyone involved in the study of climate change, emissions reduction and trading and carbon markets

    Abstract: The rate of economic growth in China over the last 50 years has been remarkable. However this has only highlighted the inequalities between regions in China, making for considerable disquiet at the highest levels of Chinese policy-making. Not everyone has benefited from the same levels of prosperity and this book examines the many and varied policy solutions and proposals that have been applied to this thorny problem. The authors find that the industrial core of China (the South East and the Changjiang and Yellow River regions) is reasonably well integrated but not well connected to the remainder of the country. Indeed, evidence suggests that development in coastal areas comes at the expense of that in the interior while much of the policy designed to boost the interior actually flows to the coastal provinces. This original analysis of the linkages between regions in China, and regional policy since 1949, will prove an invaluable and illuminating account to a wide readership. This will include academics and researchers of Chinese studies and regional economics as well as policy-makers in the region

    Abstract: Books on innovation have proliferated in the last quarter of a century, during what the author describes as 'the Schumpeterian Renaissance'. This volume provides an authoritative account of many of these new developments and represents the foundation of much ongoing research on innovation. This superlative set of essays by Chris Freeman, founder of SPRU and one of the pioneers of innovation studies, will be of interest to anyone wanting to gain a deeper understanding of technical and social change. The wide-scope lens of the author covers topics ranging from business cycles, through National Systems of Innovation to the information technology paradigm. Having this valuable material in a single volume will be welcomed by all those involved in the economics of innovation, be it in theory, policy or practice

    Abstract: The question of why citizens pay their taxes has attracted increased attention in the tax compliance literature of late. In this book, Benno Torgler considers the evidence that suggests that enforcement efforts cannot fully explain the high degree of tax compliance within society. To attempt to resolve this puzzle, numerous researchers have argued that citizens' attitudes towards paying taxes (defined as tax morale) help to explain the high degree of compliance. Yet most have treated tax morale itself as a black box, failing to discuss the issues influencing it. This unique volume provides important new insights into the factors that shape the emergence and maintenance of citizens' willingness to cooperate with tax legislations in different societies

    Abstract: China's economy has been growing rapidly since the late 1970s and is expected to maintain this momentum in the foreseeable future. Coupled with the biggest population in the world, there is tremendous growth potential for China's capital markets and financial services industry, both vital to the continued development of the economy. The contributors present research on all facets of China's markets including: stock and bond markets; futures and over-the-counter markets; regulatory issues; and the development and roles of financial institutions such as brokerage firms, banks and insurance companies. Also addressed are the recent performance of equity markets, the emergence of small and medium enterprises, and the state banks' bids to be listed in overseas stock exchanges. Taken together, the book sheds a welcome light on China's overall economic growth

    Abstract: This book advances a social-theoretic treatment of public finance, which contrasts with the typical treatment of government as an agent of intervention into a market economy. To start, Richard Wagner construes government not as an agent but as a polycentric process of interaction, just as is a market economy. The theory of markets and the theory of public finance are thus construed as complementary components of a broader endeavor of social theorizing, with both seeking to provide insight into the emergence of generally coordinated relationships within society. The author places analytical focus on emergent processes of development rather than on states of equilibrium, and with much of that development set in motion by conflict among people and their plans

    Abstract: Recently there has been a resurgence of interest in the study of optimal monetary policy under uncertainty. This book provides a thorough survey of the literature that has resulted from this renewed interest. The authors ground recent contributions on the 'science of monetary policy' in the literature of the 1970s, which viewed optimal monetary policy as primarily a question of the best use of information, and studies in the 1980s that gave primacy to time inconsistency problems. This broad focus leads to a better understanding of current issues such as discretion versus commitment, target versus instrument rules, and the merits of delegation of policy authority

    Abstract: The difficulty of achieving and implementing a global climate change agreement has stimulated a wide range of policy proposals designed to favour the participation of a large number of countries in a global cooperative effort to control greenhouse gas emissions. This significant book analyses the viability of controlling climate change through a set of regional or sub-global climate agreements rather than via a global treaty.

    Abstract: China's long-term economic success is driven by new firms, new sectors and new business practices. This book explores the establishment of new private firms and listed companies, the development of knowledge industries, in particular the IT and banking sectors and the co-evolution of public governance and business institutions. The contributors discuss the role of local institutions in coordinating business activities and unleashing entrepreneurship, arguing that the sudden growth of new firms and industries is facilitated by changes in business behaviour and institutions. Initial private exchange and investment in an environment of ill-functioning markets are shown to depend on local networks and local business culture which, in turn, rely on local tax regimes setting incentives for inherited bureaucracies to engage in economic transformation. Finally, the book establishes local institutions and local governance as crucial dimensions of China's emerging business system. Contributing to the theory of endogenous institutional change, The Chinese Economy in the 21st Century will be of great appeal to academics and students interested in management, comparative business systems, transition economics, evolutionary economics, Chinese studies and Asian studies

    Abstract: This book surveys the competing, or sometimes complementary, roles of the state and the market in shaping China's pattern of regional development during the Communist era. The uneven pace of industrialisation across China's provinces during its economic transition raises numerous questions regarding spatial patterns of industrial development in a developing, transitional economy. Jane Golley's book answers questions such as: Why have inter-regional inequalities in industrial development come to exist? Why are they tending to increase? How have regional policies and reform strategies impacted on these trends? How, if at all, can these trends be reversed? A comparative economic systems analysis of the Mao and Deng eras, combined with theoretical and empirical evidence of the disequilibrium nature of regional development, depicts the recent trend of rising inequality across China as being both inevitable and ongoing. The central government's 'Western Development Strategy' is assessed in this context. The most novel contribution of the book is the development of a framework for thinking about regional development and policy, which combines two distinct approaches - 'new' economic geography and comparative economic systems analysis - which can be used to understand patterns of regional development anywhere in the world. The application of this framework to regional development during the Mao and Deng eras provides a uniquely holistic and easy-to-read coverage of the topic. The Dynamics of Chinese Regional Development will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students of the Chinese economy. The book will also find an audience in scholars and researchers of Chinese and Asian studies more generally as well as students and scholars of economics, political economy and regional science

    Abstract: Business Networks and Strategic Alliances in China addresses how knowledge transfer and innovation are interwoven within complex networks and how social capital contributes to the acquisition of crucial resources and business success in multi-type enterprises in China. The book explains how China's remarkable global economic impact in recent years has developed from foreign investment and that the dominant vehicle for economic development has been the International Joint Venture (IJV) between Chinese manufacturers and overseas enterprises. Strict guidelines on FDI mean that foreign firms have been obliged to form relationships with Chinese organizations. The authors illustrate that as a direct result, the quality and nature of the relations, networks, and alliances forged is crucial for the success of Chinese businesses. A sophisticated empirical, theoretical, comparative and historical guide to understanding the nature of business networks in China is provided by this work. As such, it makes a distinct contribution to the furtherance of evidence-based management theory and practice and will strongly appeal to those with an interest in management, international business and Asian studies

Dabei wird ausgeblendet, dass eine mindestens sechsstellige Zahl von Deutschen längst zwei Pässe besitzt - auch ohne Nachweis von "Integration" oder auch nur deutsche Sprachkenntnisse. Dabei handelt es sich insbesondere um polnische Oberschlesier, die die deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit beantragen können, sofern sie diese von einem Vorfahren ableiten können. Die entsprechende Gruppe wird allgemein als "deutsche Minderheit" bezeichnet; allerdings galt sie historisch aus Sicht des deutschen wie polnischen Nationalstaats als "ethnisch unrein", da ihre Identitätsbildung nicht oder zumindest nicht primär entlang nationaler Kategorien erfolgte.

    Abstract: 'Handbook of Research in International Human Resource Management represents a welcome contribution of IHRM literature and will be required readings for both novices and veteran researchers.' - Dana B. Minbaeva, British Journal of Industrial Relations ' ... a rich array of contributors including some of the biggest names in the field.' - Roger Bell, Delta Intercultural Academy. In providing an insightful overview of a wide range of global human resource issues facing MNCs, this pathbreaking Handbook highlights emergent topics and new research findings that could shape the field of future IHRM research. Theoretical discussion of the variables and processes that affect IHRM policies and practices is provided by renowned contributors with widely differing academic backgrounds, paradigmatic orientations, and theoretical and methodological approaches. They explore extensive subject matter including: the importance of linking IHRM policies and activities to organizational strategy, staffing, performance management, leadership development, and diversity management, international assignment and mobility issues, the role of IHRM in the management of global teams and cross-border joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions. Illustrating that IHRM research is theoretically eclectic, and drawing upon a range of paradigms and perspectives, this cutting-edge Handbook will be invaluable to academics and practitioners with an interest in human resource management, industrial and employment relations, management and international business

    Abstract: This book's starting point is that after two decades of experiments, during which other transition economies have effectively privatised all of their former state enterprises, China is still endeavouring to find a way to reinvent and re-engineer its own state-owned economic establishments. The authors explore these reforms along with the problems of China's state-owned banks, which have long been troubled by the adverse loans of Chinese enterprises and face foreign competition in 2007 under China's WTO commitments. Drawing on wide-ranging case studies of enterprise reform, Becky Chiu and Mervyn Lewis combine their extensive experience to give an authoritative account of China's enterprise and bank reform agenda, involving property rights, improved corporate governance and stimulating enterprise

    Abstract: This valuable and engaging new book bears eloquent testimony to A.P. Thirlwall's substantial contribution to economics over the last 40 years. The volume does not attempt to provide a comprehensive review of such a prolific figure, but rather demonstrates the considerable influence that his work on economic theory has had on his contemporaries, and the profession as a whole

    Abstract: The central purpose of this book is to analyse the optimal allocation of local public goods or services (for example garbage collection, police, fire brigades and medical services) in large urban agglomerations and the allocation consequences of increasing competition in the provision of them. Competition in the Provision of Local Public Goods uses two innovative aspects present in the concept of Functional Overlapping Competing Jurisdictions, which are de-localized membership and uni-functionality of jurisdictions. The book analyses the effect of these two aspects on competition among jurisdictions and the impact this probable increase in competition may have on the achievement of the optimal allocation of local public goods

    Abstract: The economic power of Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRICs) is rapidly increasing, changing the landscape of global economics and politics. Top scholars of international business address in this vital volume the markets, strategy implications, challenges and possibilities of this new economic reality. As these four nations acquire greater economic clout, the opportunities for other countries increase. The contributors describe the favorable circumstances these evolving economies could provide for the US and other countries, such as expanded markets and services, higher returns on investments, and new partners in building a more peaceful and prosperous world. In contrast, they also discuss risks to traditional industries and possible challenges to positions on human rights and intellectual property protections, environmental standards, free markets and democratic governments. The volume emphasizes the need for companies to adopt strategies to stay ahead in the changing business environment. Governments must also design and implement new policies geared toward mutually beneficial relationships with BRICs

    Abstract: Abstract: "Bestimmte Formen des kulturellen Kapitals sind weltweit so gefragt, dass sich die soziale Lage entsprechend qualifizierter MigrantInnen über Ländergrenzen hinweg angeglichen hat. Dieser Tendenz zur Transnationalisierung stehen nationalstaatliche Migrationsregime gegenüber, die auch höchstqualifizierte Migrant/innen ungleichstellen, je nachdem, ob sie einem statushohen oder –niedrigen Land zugerechnet werden. Die soziale Lage hochqualifizierter Migrant/innen entfaltet sich im Spannungsfeld zwischen einer globalen Ökonomie, die ihr kulturelles Kapital weltweit anschlussfähig werden lässt, und der nationalstaatlichen Organisation der Politik, die der Herausbildung einer transnationalen Klassenlage entgegensteht. Der Vortrag präsentiert erste Ergebnisse aus dem aktuell laufenden DFG-Projekt 'Hochqualifizierte MigrantInnen. Zur Transnationalisierung sozialer Lagen.'

    Keywords: Ausgrenzung ; Leben ; Unterprivilegierung ; Deutschland
    Abstract: Abstract: "Soziale Ausgrenzung kann als neues Deutungsmuster für soziale Ungleichheit gelten: Benachteiligungen werden nicht mehr nur als Verteilungsprobleme, sondern als Integrationsdefizite verstanden. Die damit verbundene Debatte um die 'Gefährdung des Sozialen' (Kronauer) umfasst weitreichende Thesen zum sozialstrukturellen Wandel, unter anderem die, dass Ausgrenzungstendenzen sich von schichtspezifischen Risikofaktoren und Versorgungskategorien lösten, die gesellschaftliche Mitte erfassten und zu einem allgemeinen Lebensrisiko würden. Dieser populären Zeitdiagnose mangelt es an empirischen Belegen. Soziale Ausgrenzung als alltäglich erfahrener Anerkennungsverlust und wahrgenommene Einschränkung von Teilhabechancen findet bislang kaum Beachtung in den auf politischer Ebene mittlerweile etablierten Dokumentationssystemen. Empirischen Analysen fehlt häufig die für das Ausgrenzungsverständnis so zentrale Verbindung von Ungleichheits- mit Integrationsaspekten. In diesem Beitrag stehen deshal

    Abstract: Abstract: "Der Vortrag präsentiert Ergebnisse von Analysen zum Wandel von Konsumstrukturen und Disparitäten des Verbrauchs privater Haushalte in Deutschland. Das Konsum- bzw. Verbrauchsverhalten von Individuen und Haushalten stellt nicht nur einen wesentlichen Aspekt des Alltagshandelns dar, sondern bildet auch eine Quelle für die individuelle Wohlfahrt und das Wohlbefinden. Zudem werden Lebensstandards, aber auch der soziale Status vielfach an Niveau, Art und Qualität des privaten Verbrauchs gemessen, und dem Konsum wird auch eine Schlüsselrolle für die Konstituierung und das Verständnis von Lebensweisen und Lebensstilen zugeschrieben. In den aus Budgetlimitationen und -entscheidungen resultierenden Konsumausgaben der privaten Haushalte manifestieren sich daher soziale Ungleichheit und kulturelle Unterschiede gleichermaßen. Die dem Vortrag zugrundeliegenden Analysen von Verbrauchsmustern und -disparitäten zielen insbesondere darauf ab, die Perspektive der primär auf die Analyse von Einkomme

    Abstract: Abstract: "Neuere medienwissenschaftliche Theorien gehen davon aus, dass die Mediennutzung und die Präferenz bestimmter Medien grundsätzlich im Zusammenhang mit den besonderen Lebenskontexten der Rezipienten stehen. Medienhandeln wird nicht - wie in vielen traditionellen Medientheorien - nur als gegenwartsbezogener Individualakt betrachtet, sondern als soziale Aktionsform, die etwa soziokulturelle Vergemeinschaftungen ermöglicht, Identifikationen erlaubt und zum Teil vielfältige Distinktionen erfordert. Bezieht man konsequent sozialisationstheoretische Aspekte in Rezeptions- und Medienverarbeitungsprozesse ein, stellen sich die Ergebnisse vieler Studien anders dar, verlieren sie mitunter ihren reduktionistischen, einige von ihnen ihren kulturpessimistischen Charakter. Nun wird seit nunmehr über zwanzig Jahren immer wieder auf den diffusen Verweisungszusammenhang von Individuum, Gesellschaft und Medien hingewiesen, doch die eigentlichen Wirkmechanismen und dauerhaften Relevanzrahmen bleiben e

    Abstract: Abstract: Der Klassen-Ansatz erschien - trotz seiner Modifikationen (Dahrendorf; Giddens) und nach seiner zeitweiligen Wiederbelebung im Kontext des durch die Studentenrevolte resonanzverstärkten Neo-Marxismus - vollends als anachronistisch, nachdem der unter sowjetischer Hegemonie entwickelte Staatssozialismus samt seiner ML-Orthodoxie zusammengebrochen war. Durch das "Ende der Geschichte" landete die "Klassengesellschaft" auf den "Müllhaufen der Geschichte". Im Zuge einer fortschreitenden "Durchkapitalisierung" der Welt wird jedoch wieder von "Klassenlagen" gesprochen. Der Beitrag thematisiert zunächst Gründe für die "Unsichtbarkeit" der Klassengesellschaft: Auffällig ist, dass in einem kapitalistischen Land wie der BRD statistisches Material über die personale oder haushaltsbezogene Verteilung des Produktionsmittelbesitzes weitgehend fehlt. Im Jahre 1978 wurde geschätzt, dass die 1,7 Prozent reichster Haushalte 35 Prozent des Gesamtvermögens beziehungsweise 70-74 Prozent des Produktivverm

Zum Beispiel haben in den neuen, anspruchsvollen IT-Berufen nur ca. 3% der Auszubildenden keine deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit. Die geringe Partizipation von Migrant(inn)en in anspruchsvollen Ausbildungsberufen hat zahlreiche Gründe, die im Rahmen der Bildungs- und Berufsforschung schon eruiert wurden: Schichten- oder Klassenzugehörigkeit, Statuserwerb, Mobilitätsprozesse und soziale Netzwerke, die Verfügung über ökonomisches, soziales und kulturelles Kapital, aber auch die immer noch zu geringe Beachtung interkultureller Kompetenzen und eine empirisch nachgewiesene institutionelle Diskriminierung von Migrant(inn)en in der Schule werden als Gründe in der Forschungsliteratur genannt. Allerdings bleiben bei diesen Erklärungsansätzen die einzelnen Stationen und Verläufe der Bildungspfade nach wie vor im Dunkeln.

    Abstract: Abstract: "In verschiedenen Ländern bzw. Makroregionen Europas entstanden in den letzten Jahrzehnten recht unterschiedliche soziologische Interpretationen der sozialen Ungleichheit. Meine allgemeine These lautet, dass diese Interpretationen eng mit der spezifischen internen Sozialstruktur dieser Länder und mit ihrer Entwicklung und Lage im gesamteuropäischen Kontext zusammenhängen. Sie sind auch Teil umfassenderer gesellschaftlich-kultureller Vorstellungen und besitzen als solche eine selbständige Bedeutung. Sie unterliegen der Bindung an bestimmte Interessen, einer Tendenz zur Herausbildung eines mehr oder weniger konsistenten Gesamtbildes, sie produzieren aber auch Tendenzen der internen Fragmentierung. Im speziellen wird argumentiert, dass man im Europa der Nachkriegszeit von vier dominanten Traditionen der Ungleichheitsanalyse sprechen kann: einer differenzierungstheoretischkulturalistischen bzw. politökonomischen Variante (dominant vor allem in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland), die einen

    Abstract: Abstract: "Die deutsche Soziologie hat die gesellschaftlichen Ungleichheiten nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ganz unterschiedlich interpretiert und meinte stets, es käme darauf an, sie zu verändern. Folgte man diesen Deutungen so hätten sich eine klassenlose und nivellierte Mittelstandsgesellschaft, zwiebelförmige Schichtungen, verschärfte Klassenkonflikte, horizontale Disparitäten und 'neue' Ungleichheiten, individualisierte Milieus, eine Unterklasse der Überflüssigen, soziale Exklusionen, die Unterschichtung Ostdeutschlands und die geschlossene PISA-Gesellschaft nacheinander abgelöst. Tatsächlich verweisen sehr viele empirische Befunde auf eine erhebliche zeitliche Robustheit von Verteilungs- und Chancenungleichheiten und damit nicht nur auf die Wirklichkeitsschwäche der Soziologie, sondern auch auf deren primäres Engagement im Sinngeschäft. Was ist aber der 'Sinn' der Ungleichheit? Gilt die Toquevillesche These von der nicht-umkehrbaren Dynamik eines historischen Egalisierungsprozesses noch? D

    Abstract: Abstract: "Der folgende Text bezieht sich auf die Veranstaltung 'Author Meets Critic', in der das Buch: Thomas Schwinn (Hrsg.), Differenzierung und soziale Ungleichheit. Die zwei Soziologien und ihre Verknüpfung, Frankfurt a.M. 2004 (2. Auflage 2004), diskutiert wurde. An der gut besuchten Veranstaltung nahmen neben dem Herausgeber Reinhard Kreckel, Hans-Peter Müller, Uwe Schimank und Markus Schroer teil. Thema des Buches wie der Diskussion war die Frage, wie die beiden makrosozialen Theorietraditionen der Soziologie, funktionale Differenzierung und soziale Ungleichheit, verknüpft werden können. Insbesondere stand die Frage im Mittelpunkt, welchen Erkenntnisgewinn soziale Ungleichheitsanalysen erwarten dürfen, wenn sie den Kontakt zur Differenzierungstheorie suchen. Die Kritiker klagten dabei eine genauere Klärung des Zusammenhangs der beiden Strukturdimensionen ein. Strittig blieb, ob es eine beide Aspekte integrierende Theorie geben könne oder ob man sich mit problembezogenen Verknüpfungen

    Abstract: Abstract: "Als Beitrag zur Theoriebildung zu 'umweltgerechtem' Handeln soll im Vortrag die Möglichkeit der Verbindung von Empirie und Theorie exemplarisch diskutiert werden. Die zugrunde liegende qualitative/ fallrekonstruktive Studie fragt nach den Orientierungen von KonsumentInnen bei der Biolebensmittelwahl. Dabei interessieren einmal die Naturvorstellungen (was ist 'natürlicher' und deshalb 'besser' an Biolebensmitteln?), dann die Politikvorstellungen ('Politik mit dem Einkaufswagen'?) und schließlich der Umgang mit Wahlentscheidungen angesichts relativ neuer und marginaler Lebensmittel, also angesichts Unsicherheiten und Kontingenzen. Als idealtypische Fallstrukturen des Biokonsums werden dabei 'Lifestyle', 'Zurück zur Natur', 'Reflexive Biolebensmittelwahl' und 'Stellvertreter-Biokonsum' rekonstruiert. Auf dieser Grundlage wird in zwei Richtungen Anschluss an die umweltsoziologische Theoriebildung gefunden. Zum einen (inhaltlich) werden in unterschiedlichen Theorien wiederkehrende Prob
