    Keywords: Katastrophe ; Soziologie
    Abstract: Sociology has developed theories of social change in the fields of evolution, conflict and modernization, viewing modern society as essentially unstable and conflict driven. However, it has not seriously studied catastrophe. A Theory of Catastrophe develops a sociology of catastrophes, comparing natural, social and political causes and consequences, and the social theories that might offer explanations. A catastrophe is a general and systematic breakdown of social and political institutions resulting, among other things, in what we could call a catastrophe consciousness. The Greek 'cata-strophe' formed the conclusion to a dramatic sequence of strophes. The cata-strophe was the final act of a drama, namely its denouement. Catastrophic denouements are without hope: genocides, military occupations, plagues, famines and earthquakes. A Theory of Catastrophe analyzes Pompeii, the Black Death, colonial genocide in North America, WWI and the Spanish Flu, and Nazi Germany and finally this century: terrorism, new wars, climate change and pandemics. As a study of sociological theory, Bryan Turner discusses Spengler's Decline of the West, Marxism as a theory of catastrophic capitalism, messianic movements, Weber on modernity, and risk society. He concludes by comparing optimism and pessimism, and the idea of inter-generational justice.

    Abstract: "This thought-provoking book investigates the political and economic transformation that has taken place over the past three decades in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe (CESEE) since the fall of the Iron Curtain. Through an examination of both the successes and shortcomings of post communist reform and the challenges ahead for the region, it explores the topical issues of economic transition and integration, highlighting important lessons to be learned. Featuring contributions from both top academics and experienced policymakers, 30 Years of Transition in Europe first discusses the process of transition in CESEE from a historical perspective, analysing the impacts of differing approaches on economic and monetary policy, the role of central banks and the speed of reform in various countries of the region. Chapters also compare CESEE transformations to emerging economies in Asia, and examine contemporary concerns around financial and monetary stability, as well as exploring the long-term determinants of economic growth such as digitalization, climate change and demographic trends. Economists, central bankers, and policymakers in the banking sector and other international financial organizations will find this book an enlightening read. It will also be useful for academics in economics and politics with a particular interest in emerging European economies and European integration"--

    Abstract: Within political and administrative sciences generally, trust as a concept is contested, especially in the field of regulatory governance. This groundbreaking book is the first to systematically explore the role and dynamics of trust within regulatory regimes. Conceptualizing, mapping and analyzing trust between regulators, regulatees and citizens, expert contributors systematically review the existing empirical research on the role of trust within these relations. Further chapters offer new empirical material, with in-depth case studies covering different regulatory relations, regulatory issues and geographical areas. After scoping the field of inquiry and significantly adding to it, the book concludes with a proposal for a challenging and encompassing agenda for future research on trust in regulatory governance. Comprehensive and forward thinking, this book will be of interest to academics working in the fields of regulation, sociology, law, political science, public administration and trust. It will also offer a compelling read for practitioners working in the field of regulation

    Abstract: China has grown rapidly since the reform initiation of the 1970s. China's Economic Growth Prospects narrates the contribution of demographic transition to recent economic growth in China, and provides suggestions for ways in which it can sustain growth over the next few decades. The expert author provides reasons for the economic slowdown since the second decade of the twenty-first century; explores the challenges facing China's long-term sustainability of growth with the disappearance of demographic dividend; and proposes policy suggestions. He concludes that, in order to avoid the middle-income trap, economic growth in China must transform from an inputs-driven pattern, to a productivity-driven pattern. Academics, researchers and students of economics and business, particularly those specialising in China, will find this book to be a useful resource. Investment bankers, journalists, politicians and policy makers will find the discussions of past experience and the future potential of the Chinese economy to be of interest

    Abstract: While recent studies have highlighted the phenomenon and risks of increased inequalities between the top and the bottom of society, little research has so far been carried out on trends relating to the median income range that generally represents the middle class. This volume examines the following questions: what are the main transformations in the world of work over the last 20 years in terms of the labour market, social dialogue and conditions of work, wages and incomes that may have affected the middle class? How has the middle class been altered by the financial and economic crisis? What are the long-term trends for the middle class in Europe? This volume also investigates the potential risks and effects of the reshuffling, or even weakening, of the middle class. On the social side, it explores the ramifications of further retrenchment of the European Social Model, which to a great extent has traditionally been funded by the middle class. On the economic side, the book investigates whether this process - especially from the perspective of consumption and human capital - is endangering the long-term sustainability of the current economic model. While presenting evidence of a definite erosion of the middle class, this book assesses the specific situation in each individual EU member state on the basis of detailed statistics and case studies of professional categories that traditionally represent the middle class. This book issues a timely warning about the latest trends and prospects for the middle class in Europe. On this basis, it presents policy considerations and options that will be useful to policy-makers for ensuring the future of the middle class in Europe. Scholars and researchers of European studies and social policy, especially from a sustainability perspective, will find this volume to be an invaluable reference

    Abstract: The Great Financial Meltdown reviews, advocates and critiques the systemic, conjunctural and policy-based explanations for the 2008 crisis. The book expertly examines these explanations to assess their analytical and empirical validity. Comprehensive yet accessible chapters, written by a collection of prominent authors, cover a wide range of political economy approaches to the crisis, from Marxian through to Post Keynesian and other heterodox schools. This interrogation of economic policy in light of the financial crisis is essential reading for real-word economists. To those seeking to understand the current economic stagnation and failings of the system, it offers an enlightening exposition of contemporary political economy

    Abstract: Recent events, such as capital flow reversals and banking sector crises, have shaken faith in the widely held belief in the benefits of greater financial integration and financial deepening, which are typical in advanced economies. This book shows that emerging economies have occasionally weathered the storm best, despite the supposed burden of 'weak institutions'. Written by leading scholars and practitioners, the authors demonstrate that a better policy framework requires reliable indicators of vulnerability to financial instability. Using empirical evidence and case studies, the twelve chapters stress the necessity of improved policy tools and automatic stabilizers that anticipate and limit the vulnerabilities to financial crises. Cross-border capital flows, international reserves and foreign exchange markets are covered in depth. This timely book offers an insightful overview and policy solutions to the issues surrounding macroprudential regulation of economies in a globalized world. It is required reading for students and scholars of international finance and regulation

    Abstract: This unique book compares the effects of globalization on two differing Latin American countries, Argentina and Chile, while utilizing both the historical lens of the late nineteenth century and the status of the modern economy to draw its conclusions. Focusing on these two eras of globalization, leading business historians based in Europe, Latin America, and the United States examine the impact of multinationals, the growth of business groups, and the conflicted relations between business and government. Specifically, this book provides a compelling new historical perspective on current economic and political crises in Argentina and Chile. The contributors offer a pioneering comparative study of the complex and non-linear impact of globalization, and the evolution of business systems in the two neighboring countries. They draw on literature which had previously only been available in Spanish, setting this book apart from its competitors. The Impact of Globalization on Argentina and Chile will be a valuable resource for economic and business historians, Latin Americanists, and management scholars who research and teach international business and globalization

    Abstract: Body, self and society -- What is a body? -- Religion and the body -- Medical regimes and the body -- Gender, sexualities and race -- Technologies and body modification
    Abstract: In the last three decades, the human body has gained increasing prominence in contemporary political debates, and it has become a central topic of modern social sciences and humanities. Modern technologies – such as organ transplants, stem-cell research, nanotechnology, cosmetic surgery and cryonics – have changed how we think about the body. In this collection of thirty original essays by leading figures in the field, these issues are explored across a number of theoretical and disciplinary perspectives, including pragmatism, feminism, queer theory, post-modernism, post-humanism, cultural sociology, philosophy and anthropology. A wide range of case studies, which include cosmetics, diet, organ transplants, racial bodies, masculinity and sexuality, eating disorders, religion and the sacred body, and disability, are used to appraise these different perspectives. In addition, this Handbook explores various epistemological approaches to the basic question: what is a body? It also offers a strongly themed range of chapters on empirical topics that are organized around religion, medicine, gender, technology and consumption. It also contributes to the debate over the globalization of the body: how have military technology, modern medicine, sport and consumption led to this contemporary obsession with matters corporeal? The Handbook’s clear, direct style will appeal to a wide undergraduate audience in the social sciences, particularly for those studying medical sociology, gender studies, sports studies, disability studies, social gerontology, or the sociology of religion. It will serve to consolidate the new field of body studies.

    Abstract: This timely book rethinks economic theory and policy by addressing the problem of economic instability and the need to secure broadly shared prosperity. It stresses that advancing economics in the wake of the Great Recession requires an evolutionary standpoint, greater attention to uncertainty and expectations, and the integration of finance into macroeconomics. The result is a broader array of policy options--and challenges--than conventional economics presents

    Abstract: The book explores the implications of both the extension of the market into key parts of the Chinese economy and the integration of China into the global economy. The main focus of the book is on the role and nature of China's financial system and its ability to transform enterprise and household behaviour and the performance of investment finance, notably in the context of a two-way flow of foreign direct investment. All the extensive chapters highlight the issue of sustainability--some see the incompleteness of market reform as a problem; others are more willing to accept a pragmatic blending of the operation of the free market and government intervention

    Abstract: Wilhelm Röpke is best known for his decisive intellectual contributions to the economic reforms that took post-war West Germany from ruin to riches within a decade. In this informative book, Samuel Gregg presents Röpke as a sophisticated économiste-philosophe in the tradition of Adam Smith, who was as much concerned with exploring and reforming the moral, social and intellectual foundations of the market economy, as he was in examining subjects such as business-cycles, trade-policy, inflation, employment, and the welfare state. By situating Röpke's ideas in the history of modern Western economic thought, Samuel Gregg illustrates that while Röpke's 'neoliberalism' departed from much nineteenth-century classical liberal thought, it was also profoundly anti-Keynesian and contested key aspects of the post-war Keynesian economic consensus

    Keywords: Privatisierung ; Wirtschaftspolitik ; China ; Privatization ; Electronic books ; China Economic policy 2000- ; China Economic policy 1976-2000
    Abstract: Since the 1980s, there has been a global wave of transfer of state assets to private hands. China is a relatively late participant of this worldwide trend, yet, in the last decade it has emerged as one of the largest privatizing countries. Shu-Yun Ma argues that China's privatization is not based on any grand blueprint; rather, it is privatization by "groping for stones to cross the river", a well-known metaphor often attributed to Deng Xiaoping, meaning that the reform simply proceeds on a trial-and-error basis without being guided by any theory

China's privatization through listing state enterprises in Hong Kong -- 7. Completing privatization through "share conversion" -- 8. Conclusion : privatizing through groping for stepping stones

The range of papers presented gives the reader a good picture of the variety of approaches used by NIE scholars, and their ability to integrate sociological and legal consideration within the economic analysis.' - Martino Bianchi, CEU Political Science Journal The field of institutional economics has witnessed a surge in interest over recent years and has attracted the attention of a growing number of social scientists. This topical and highly informative collection brings together critical writings on the relationship between institutions and economic performance. The included works encompass seminal cross-country studies of 'whether institutions matter', as well as leading examples of within-country studies on the role of specific institutions. This indispensable volume includes an original introduction by the editor which explores the definition and measurement of institutions. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in institutions and economic development

    Abstract: For many developing countries, economic growth is an elusive quest. Both economists and policymakers have long known that issues such as education, investment and infrastructure are necessary ingredients for development and yet only a very small number of countries seem to be able to come up with the right mix of these ingredients. Bryan Ritchie demonstrates how political relationships among government, business, academic and labor leaders create different incentives for economic actors to make key decisions to promote economic upgrading and sustainable development

    Abstract: During the current economic crisis recurring questions on the validity of the liberal economic system have resurfaced concerning the role of the state and the free market, the proactive use of fiscal policies, economic nationalism, and environmental sustainability. However, due to the depth and scope of the crisis new emphasis is being placed on these issues. This book attaches great importance to the specific consequences for the European Union by addressing critical themes surrounding its role in the new era of global economic governance. These include the coherence of common monetary policy with national fiscal policies, new financial regulation and supervision, and the future sustainability of national rescue plans and their compatibility with ambitious targets, such as those addressing climate change

    Abstract: The authors and editors of this book challenge traditional assumptions about economic growth, and develop the elements of a reoriented macroeconomics that takes account both of environmental impacts and social equity. Policies including carbon trading, revenue recycling, and reorientation of private and social investment are analyzed, providing insight into new paths for economic development with flat or negative carbon emissions. These issues will be crucial to macroeconomic and development policies in the twenty-first century. What are the likely economic effects of climate change? What are the costs of substantial action to avert climate change? What economic policies can be effective in responding to climate change? The debate has broad implications for public policy. However, it also raises fundamental questions about economic analysis itself, and moves issues of environmental policy from the microeconomic to the macroeconomic level. Taking global climate change seriously requires a re-examination of macroeconomic goals. Economic growth has been closely linked to expanded use of energy, primarily fossil fuels. The assumption of continuing economic growth, in turn, leads economists to discount future costs, including the generational impacts of climate change. Challenging conventional concepts of growth implies different development paths both for rich and poor nations. This volume brings together contributions from scholars around the world to address these issues. Scholars, researchers and students of economics and development studies along with policymakers and non-governmental organizations will find this insightful book of great interest

    Abstract: This book provides the reader with the basis for a theoretical understanding of public-sector finance in general - and more specifically, a comprehensive, policy-oriented application of that understanding to Japanese public finance. Particular emphasis is placed upon developing tools which can be used both theoretically and empirically to clarify essential economic concerns in Japan's public sector. These include the macroeconomic incidence of fiscal decentralization, dependence on government bonds for covering fiscal deficits, and social security reform. In analyzing Japan's underperforming public sector, the authors develop and recommend policy solutions aimed at achieving Japan's growth potential, improving the quality of the public sector, and strengthening the sector's contribution to the Japanese economy. Guiding the reader toward an overall understanding of public-sector reforms, decentralization and fiscal policy in Japan, this book will strongly appeal to academics, students and researchers with an interest in modern public finance theory and macroeconomic analysis

    Abstract: This book explores the nature of the flexibility of Estonia's rapid growth, that enables it to swiftly seize opportunities and weather crises without undue cost. The distinguished cast of contributors draws upon detailed data on individual firms and households to explore the basis for Estonia's record as the most successful of all the EU accession countries over the last decade. They conclude that much of this accomplishment can be attributed to the greater flexibility of the Estonian economy, both in price setting in employment and wages, and in consumption. The book also reveals that Estonia is able to adjust to shocks more rapidly and with less real impact than other countries. Coupled with a favourable macroeconomic policy and a good institutional structure and legal framework, this indicates that Estonia will be an excellent example to other countries despite the recent downturn. This unique book will be of great interest to researchers and students of the economics of transition, and will prove invaluable to policy-makers and their advisors in both transition countries and the rest of the EU, as well as graduate students studying microeconomics and monetary policy

    Abstract: Abstract: "Die Bezeichnung 'Poststrukturalismus' ist ein Sammelbegriff, der recht heterogene französische Denkansätze der 1960er bis 1980er Jahre retrospektiv zusammenfasst, die sich selbst nicht so bezeichnet haben. In der deutschen Rezeption der 1970er und vor allem 1980er Jahre war das Label 'postmodernes Denken' ausschlaggebend, um die Arbeiten Derridas, Foucaults, Lyotards und anderer zu charakterisieren. Dabei stand nicht der Gegensatz des Poststrukturalismus zum Strukturalismus im Zentrum, sondern die Frage, ob es verantwortbar sei, auf die normative Kategorie des Subjekts zu verzichten. Während von Foucault und Derrida her die Historisierung bzw. Dekonstruktion des Subjekts zentral war, die Figur des Subjekts also auf die Gegenstandsseite der Untersuchung geschoben wurde, erkannten Gegner unterschiedlicher Provenienz genau darin eine Aufgabe aufklärerischer Prinzipien. Auf Seiten der Poststrukturalismus-Rezeption wiederum verband man mit der radikalen Infragestellung des Projekts der

    Abstract: Abstract: Das Entsetzen ist ein soziopsychisches Einzelerleben und besitzt zugleich eine katastrophensoziologisch umfassende Bedeutung, die der Autor in seinem Vortrag näher beschreibt. Die Frage, warum es zu "entsetzlichen sozialen Prozessen" bisher kaum soziologische Forschungen gibt, beantwortet er mit der Arbeitshypothese, dass es nicht genügt, dass etwas Unvorhergesehenes geschieht, sondern "es muss geahnt worden sein". Das Geahnte nimmt seiner Meinung nach in der menschlichen Zivilisation zu, da immer mehr Kausalketten wissenschaftlich aufgedeckt und erforscht werden. Wenn jedoch Unheil oder Naturkatastrophen plötzlich eintreten und ein Entsetzen bewirken, sind bestimmte Kausalketten oder Gefahren unüberschaubar geworden und gewinnen in den Augen vieler Menschen dämonische Züge. Aus soziologischer Sicht treten dann magische Elemente an die Stelle von säkularen Ursachenzuschreibungen. Der Autor geht vor diesem Hintergrund der Frage nach, wie die katastrophalen Formen des sozialen Wandel

    Abstract: Abstract: "Die Untersuchung gesellschaftlicher Naturverhältnisse fand bislang in der Soziologie wenig Resonanz. Natur wurde regelmäßig als das Andere der Gesellschaft begriffen, sie bildete das Material und die Bedingung der Möglichkeit von Vergesellschaftung, aber nur in Ausnahmefällen waren die äußere Natur und die innere Natur des Menschen Gegenstand soziologischer Reflexion. In dem Vortrag sollen zunächst zwei Hauptformen der soziologischen Auseinandersetzung mit Natur in Erinnerung gerufen werden: naturalistische und sozio-zentrische Analysen. Im Hauptteil wird die These erläutert, dass weder die eine noch die andere Theorievariante für sich genommen eine zufrieden stellende Antwort auf das Problem der Vermittlung von symbolischen und materiellen Dimensionen gesellschaftlicher Naturverhältnisse liefert. Um die Interaktions-Dynamik von Natur und Gesellschaft - die Naturabhängigkeit von Gesellschaft und die gesellschaftliche Formierung von Natur - besser zu erfassen, wird der Verfasser ei

    Abstract: Abstract: "Der in Deutschland seit Anfang der 1990er Jahre institutionalisierte umweltsoziologische Diskurs ist geprägt vom Topos der aus der Soziologie ausgegrenzten Natur. Der Soziologie wird vorgeworfen, mit der Perspektive auf die soziale Realität die andere Realität der Natur aus dem Blick verloren zu haben. Seither testet die Umweltsoziologie verschiedene soziologische Theorieprogramme daraufhin, ob in ihnen Natur eine Rolle spielt oder nicht. Niklas Luhmanns Systemtheorie hat in diesem Test besonders schlecht abgeschnitten. Der systemtheoretische Umweltbegriff, so der Vorwurf, blende den ökologischen und physischen Umweltbegriff völlig aus. Diese Kritik an Luhmann hat dazu geführt, dass eine systematische Auseinandersetzung mit dem umweltsoziologischen Potenzial der Systemtheorie Desiderat geblieben ist. Die Schwierigkeit einer umweltsoziologischen Rezeption der Systemtheorie besteht darin, dass diese die Begriffe Umwelt und Natur schlicht anders verwendet als die Umweltforschung. Die

    Abstract: Abstract: Der vorliegende Aufsatz entstand im Rahmen des Soziologischen-Theorie-Treffs einer Gruppe von Studierenden aus Bielefeld, die sich gründete, um auch außerhalb der Universität eine Plattform für Diskussionen über das Soziologie-Studium und fachbezogene Fragen zu haben. Auf dem diesjährigen Kongress der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Soziologie (2006) vertritt die Gruppe eine studentische Sichtweise auf das Fach Soziologie. Der vorliegende Aufsatz beschäftigt sich, ausgehend von der allgemeinen Erfahrung, dass das Fach auf Studierende oftmals diffus wirkt, näher mit der Frage, ob eine Ursache für das "Aufbrechen" der Soziologie bei ihrer Unterteilung in Bindestrich-Soziologien gefunden werden kann. Auf der Grundlage einer Befragung von 150 Lehrstuhlinhabern sowie einer Literatur- und Internetrecherche wird der Frage nachgegangen, was die starke Ausdifferenzierung der Soziologie in verschiedene Teilgebiete für das "Kernfach" bzw. die wissenschaftliche Disziplin und ihre Grundlagen bedeute

'mikro-soziologischen' Ebene. Man sollte sich durch diesen Zuschnitt jedoch nicht täuschen lassen. Denn seine Begründung findet dieser keineswegs in irgendwelchen vermeintlichen Beschränkungen, die diesen soziologischen Perspektiven etwa inhärent wären, wie ihre Kritiker so gerne glauben machen wollen. Ihren Grund haben sie vielmehr ausschließlich im empirischen Material, dass die entsprechenden Untersuchungen zugrunde legen. Zudem, und darauf ist im vorliegenden Zusammenhang besonderes Gewicht zu legen, verbindet sich mit entsprechenden Untersuchungen jeweils ein strikter verallgemeinernder Anspruch. Denn wenn die von Schütz entwickelte Perspektive adäquat ist, dass soziale Wirklichkeit als Produkt des sinnhaften und sich wechselseitig regulierenden sozialen Handelns ist, dann müssen in jed

    Abstract: Abstract: "In seinem Beitrag argumentiert der Verfasser sowohl grundlagentheoretisch als auch inhaltlich. Der Kern der grundlagentheoretischen Argumentation besteht darin, dass sich mit dem vorhandenen soziologischen Denkinstrumentarium in Gestalt der Situationsanalyse eine Gegenposition zum Konstruktivismus beschreiben lässt, die die menschliche Natur einbezieht und gleichzeitig dem historisch und kulturell variablen soziologischen Gegenstand gerecht werden. Mit Hilfe des grundlegenden soziologischen Konzepts der Situation und ihrer Definition lassen sich äußere (u.a. Institutionen und kulturelle Symbolwelt) und innere Bedingungen (u.a. biologische Anlagen) der menschlichen Existenz miteinander verknüpfen. Durch Sozialisationsprozesse werden biologische Anlagen - vermittelt durch die 'Genotyp-Umwelt-Korrelation' - verstärkt oder auch abgeschwächt. Im Laufe der Biografie entwickeln sich so biosoziale Dispositionen, die sich in kulturell definierten (typischen) Situationen handlungswirksam ma

    Abstract: Abstract: Der Autor kommentiert die im Jahr 2005 erschienene Biographie von Joachim Radkau über Max Weber. Es geht ihm bei seinen kritischen Ausführungen weniger um die Frage, ob Radkaus Nachzeichnung von Leben und Werk Max Webers zutreffend oder ästhetisch gelungen ist, sondern um die Frage, was die Soziologie und nicht zuletzt auch die Weberrezipienten aus der Biographie lernen können. Er thematisiert in Anlehnung an Max Webers Auffassungen die pragmatisch motivierte, als kooperativ verstandene Arbeitsteilung zwischen Geschichte und Soziologie und benennt einige theoretische und methodologische Problemstellungen, die ihm bei der Lektüre der Biographie Radkaus aufgefallen sind. Er weist aber auch auf Aspekte hin, die das Buch für die Soziologie und die weitergehende Weber-Forschung bieten kann. Seine kritische Frage an die Soziologie und die Weberfachleute lautet, ob sie hinreichend lernbereit sind, wenn Historiker auf ihre Weise die soziale Wirklichkeit in den Blick nehmen. Radkaus Buch is

    Abstract: Abstract: Der Autor weist in Form eines persönlichen Erlebnisberichtes darauf hin, dass besonders Studienanfänger der Soziologie erhebliche Probleme haben, Fragen nach dem Wesen der Gesellschaft auf eine befriedigende Art und Weise zu beantworten. Fragen, die schließlich auf den zentralen Gegenstand des Faches abzielen, betreffen zum Beispiel auch die Wahrnehmung der sozialen Wirklichkeit und die Bedeutung von Gruppen oder sozialen Beziehungen. Der Autor problematisiert vor diesem Hintergrund die soziologische Begriffsbildung und setzt sich mit folgenden Fragen kritisch auseinander: Welche Ziele und Erkenntnisinteressen verbinden sich mit dem Vorhaben eines Studienanfängers, diese vermeintlichen Gegenstände der Soziologie begrifflich genau zu erfassen? Welche Art von Handlungen werden durch die Orientierung an solchem Wissen Teil der sozialen Wirklichkeit? Wie lassen sich solche Handlungen theoretisch begründen?

    Abstract: Abstract: Die Ad-hoc Gruppe "Heidegger und die Soziologie" vom Leipziger Kongress der DGS 2002 griff die Debatte auf, die mit dem Buch "Jemeinigkeit des Mitseins. Die Daseinanalytik Martin Heideggers und die Kritik der soziologischen Vernunft" (Hrsg. J. Weiß) eröffnet wurde, und widmete sich der Daseinanalytik Heideggers als Form und Medium der soziologischen Selbstreflexion. Beim Kasseler Soziologiekongress 2006 befasst sich die Ad-hoc Gruppe nun mit der konkreten Fragestellung, ob das Dasein des Menschen und die Vielfalt menschlicher Existenzweisen sich ausschließlich auf das gesellschaftliche Sein reduzieren lassen. Weitere Fragen lauten: Wie und in welchen spezifischen sozialen Beziehungen befinden sich die Ordnungen gesellschaftlichen Seins zu der jeweiligen und jemeinigen Existenz des Menschen? Entsprechen den gesellschaftlichen Ordnungen verschiedene Daseinsformen, Existenzvollzüge und soziale Beziehungen oder können lediglich bestimmte Daseinsformen und Existenzvollzüge ein gesellsch

    Abstract: Abstract: "Soziologie wird, je nach Autor, definiert als Wissenschaft vom sozialen Handeln, sozialen Systemen oder auch (sozialer) Kommunikation. In der 'alten' soziologischen Systemtheorie (e.g. Marx, Parsons) werden soziale Systeme tendenziell als Strukturen aufgefasst. Mit Luhmanns problemfunktionalistischer Wende wird jedoch das Konzept sozialer Systeme radikal dynamisiert. Prozess und Dynamik treten klar in den Vordergrund. Dabei erlauben die systemtheoretischen Konzepte der Systemhierarchie und Emergenz eine schlüssige Integration des Soziologischen mit den anderen (naturwissenschaftlichen) Disziplinen. Dies in den Dimensionen des Objektbereichs und der Wissenschaft und Wissenschaftstheorie selbst. Damit wird die Konzeption einer konsistenten und durchgängigen theoretischen Struktur von den binären Bits der Informatik und IT bis hin zur Komplexität hochkontingenter sozialer und kultureller Systeme möglich. Soziokybernetik öffnet so den Weg für eine Soziologie als 'Science of (social) c

    Abstract: Abstract: "Von einem vielstimmigen Chor von Neurowissenschaftlern wird seit gut einem Jahrzehnt das endgültige Ende des Subjekts proklamiert. Anders aber als die Poststrukturalisten, die zu Beginn der 70er Jahre Ähnliches verkündet hatten, stellen diese Wissenschaftler nicht den Diskurs, sondern das Gehirn bzw. genauer: das in den Gehirnschaltungen somatisierte Wissen als Urgrund und Ursprung menschlichen Tuns vor. Die Vorstellung einer 'personalen Identität' eines 'Ich', welches alle Handlungen entweder direkt mittels (rationaler) Entscheidung trifft, oder doch zumindest eine Stellungnahme zu Entscheidungen abgibt, ist dieser Deutung zufolge eine vom Gehirn geschaffene Illusion, die dem Organismus lediglich die - falsche - Gewissheit liefert, er selbst bzw. eine besondere Inneninstanz sei der Urheber und Autor jeglichen bewussten sinnhaften Handelns und Kommunizierens. Neurowissenschaftler glauben darüber hinaus, dass der Körper und das Gehirn eigenständig (also gleichsam 'hinter dem Rücken

    Abstract: Abstract: Die Anmerkungen der Autorin zu Joachim Radkaus Biographie "Max Weber. Die Leidenschaft des Denkens" (2005) beziehen sich auf zwei Kritikpunkte: Der erste Punkt betrifft Radkaus Auffassung, dass die Natur im Zentrum der Weber'schen Weltauffassung steht bzw. den Hauptgesichtspunkt zum Verständnis des Weber'schen Denkens bildet. Die Autorin wendet dagegen ein, dass in Radkaus Buch vier verschiedene Begriffe der Natur nebeneinander stehen, welche spätestens in den 1960er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts obsolet geworden sind. Der erste Naturbegriff, den Radkau heranzieht, macht die Sexualität zur menschlichen Natur; ein zweiter Naturbegriff sucht die Natur des Menschen in Aggressivität und Hass; ein dritter Naturbegriff zeichnet die Natur als Schicksal und kosmische Macht; ein vierter Naturbegriff ist schließlich sozialdarwinistisch geprägt. Diese vier, von Radkau verwendeten Naturbegriffe sind nach Ansicht der Autorin eine methodisch unzureichende Grundlage einer Werkbiographie Max Webers

    Abstract: Abstract: "Obwohl seit mehr als 20 Jahren bekannt ist, dass die derzeitige abendländische Lebensweise ökologisch nicht nachhaltig und sozial nicht gerecht ist, scheint sie sich mit der Globalisierung mehr denn je auszubreiten. Die Ursachen dafür sind längst nicht vollständig erkannt und zahlreiche - wohl aber zu wenige - Forschungsvorhaben beschäftigen sich mit deren Analyse. Noch weniger wird allerdings am anderen Ende der Frage, wie denn eine 'nachhaltigere', besser abgestimmte Lebensweise aussehen könnte, geforscht. Die Gefahr sich idealistischer Utopien oder normativer Diskurse zu bedienen und damit eher ideologisch und politisch zu argumentieren als wissenschaftlich zu forschen, scheint groß. Nach Bruno Latour ist aber auch die Trennung in wissenschaftlich erforschte Tatsachen und normativ begründete Werte politisch-epistemologisch konstruiert. Der Beitrag möchte für die Suche nach nachhaltigen Lebensweisen einen soziologischen Forschungsansatz entwerfen und diskutieren, der der Trennun

    Abstract: Abstract: "Das Konzept der Generation erlebt derzeit eine große Renaissance, es wird bisher aber nur selten in der Wissenschaftsgeschichte angewendet. Dies ist erstaunlich, wenn man bedenkt, dass Mannheim selbst die Bedeutung von Generationseffekten für die Dynamik der Geisteswissenschaften betont. Was diese ihm zufolge von den Naturwissenschaften unterscheidet, ist gerade deren enge Verbindung mit der 'alltägliche(n) Lebenserfahrung'. Die Fruchtbarkeit der Anwendung des Generationenbegriffes in der Wissenschaftsgeschichte soll am Beispiel der Gruppe der New York Intellectuals (NYI) verdeutlicht werden. Zu dieser 'family' (Norman Podhoretz) von Intellektuellen zählten neben verschiedenen Schriftstellern, Literatur- und Kunstkritikern, Historikern, Philosophen und Theologen auch die Soziologen Daniel Bell, Nathan Glazer und Seymour M. Lipset, die sich während des Studiums am 'City College New York' (CCNY) kennen lernten. Die These lautet, dass dieser Kreis seine gemeinsame, generationsspezifi

    Abstract: Abstract: "Dem Beitrag liegt ein Naturbegriff zugrunde, der ebenso sehr mit antiken wie mit modernen Referenzen arbeitet. War für Aristoteles die Natur ein Prozess der Auseinandersetzung zwischen Perfektion und Korruption, so ist sie für die Naturwissenschaften der Moderne ein Prozess der Auseinandersetzung zwischen Ordnung und Chaos. In beiden Versionen liegt der Akzent nicht darauf, entweder die Perfektion und die Ordnung oder die Korruption und das Chaos für den gleichsam 'natürlichen' Zustand zu halten, um die jeweilige andere Seite der Unterscheidung zur Bezeichnung entweder göttlich oder teuflisch intervenierender Instanzen zu verwenden, so als seien entweder die Perfektion und die Ordnung oder die Korruption und das Chaos nicht natürlichen Ursprungs. Stattdessen liegt der Akzent auf dem Prozess der Auseinandersetzung selbst. Naturbeobachtung zielt darauf, Perfektion und Korruption sowie Ordnung und Chaos als die beiden Seiten einer Medaille zu verstehen. Darauf ist um so mehr zu verwe

    Abstract: Abstract: Die so genannten "Lebenswissenschaften", vor allem die Genetik und die Kognitions- und Neurowissenschaften, aber auch die Soziobiologie, werden gegenwärtig zu neuen wissenschaftlichen Leitdisziplinen und stellen nach Meinung der Autoren eine ernsthafte Herausforderung für den Erklärungsanspruch der Gesellschaftswissenschaften dar. Weder Bildung und Erziehung noch die damit eng zusammenhängenden Mechanismen der Reproduktion sozialer Ungleichheiten in Arbeitsmärkten und Lebensläufen bleiben von dieser Entwicklung unberührt. Diese Bereiche werden derzeit von einem Trend erfasst, der sich mit dem Begriff der "Naturalisierung" bzw. "Re-Naturalisierung" kennzeichnen lässt. Die Soziologie hat auf das Erstarken naturalisierender Argumentationsweisen im Sozialen und auf die Herausforderung der Lebenswissenschaften bisher kaum geantwortet. In neueren Arbeiten zu dieser Thematik zeichnet sich jedoch eine vorsichtige Annäherung zwischen Soziologie und Lebenswissenschaften ab, wie die einzelnen

    Abstract: Abstract: "Wirft man einen genaueren Blick auf Durkheim und seine Schüler, so stellt man fest, dass diese nicht - wie vielfach vermutet - reine Antipoden lebensphilosophischen Denkens sind, sondern rationalitätskritische Elemente der Lebensphilosophie aufnehmen und soziologisch zu überwinden versuchen. Durkheims Begeisterung für Schopenhauer zum Beispiel ging soweit, dass er von Studenten 'Schopen' genannt wurde. Lebensphilosophische Motive finden sich ferner in der kollektiven Efferveszenz oder in den von Mauss beschriebenen Tauschformen des Potlatsch, die Züge des Dionysischen tragen. Noch deutlicher ist die Verbindung zwischen Lebensphilosophie und Durkheimscher Soziologie bei dem Durkheim-Schüler Robert Hertz, der ein begeisterter Leser von Friedrich Nietzsche ist. Es ist vor allem die von Hertz vorbereitete Verknüpfung von Nietzsche und Durkheim-Schule, die die theoretische Basis für die 'Sakralsoziologie' des 1937 von Bataille, Klossowski und den Mauss-Schülern Caillois und Leiris gegr

    Abstract: Abstract: "Wenn Grundbegriffe solche Begriffe sind, die 'ganze Gegenstandsgebiete im allgemeinen vor uns bringen' wie 'die Natur, die Geschichte, der Staat, das Recht, der Mensch' (Heidegger), erscheint es der Mühe wert und vielversprechend, die Grundbegriffe, die das Gegenstandsgebiet der Soziologie 'vor uns bringen', im Ausgang von der Heideggerschen Daseinsanalytik zu erschließen. Zu diesem Zweck ist am Leitfaden eines existenzialen Begriffs von Soziologie zu klären, wie - über welche Schritte der Selbstauslegung des Daseins also - das Mitsein in seinen vielfältigen Vollzugs- und Erscheinungsformen zum Gegenstand erfahrungswissenschaftlicher Theorie zu werden vermag. Zur Vorbereitung und zur Erhellung dieser spezifischen Voraussetzungen und der Zielrichtung solcher Analysen ist es hilfreich, Heideggers Weg von einer transzendentalen Wertphilosophie Rickertscher Prägung über die Phänomenologie Husserls zur Hermeneutik der Faktizität und zur Daseinsanalytik nachzuzeichnen.

    Abstract: Abstract: Das Vertrauen, mit dem der Ordnung der Moderne begegnet wird, beruht dem Autor zufolge auf dem Zusammenwirken von drei sehr unterschiedlichen Faktoren: auf der Kontrolle der Gewaltabstinenz unter den Gesellschaftsmitgliedern, auf gewaltfreier Interaktion als unterstelltem und institutionell garantiertem Normalfall und auf einer damit korrespondierenden Imagination. Dieses Vertrauen wird jedoch zunehmend in Frage gestellt und es werden Coping-Strategien von Temporalisierung, Spatialisierung und sekundärer "Verrätselung" angewendet, um Enttäuschungen zu verarbeiten, die die Moderne den Menschen hinsichtlich ihres Versprechens, gewaltarm zu sein, dauernd zumutet. Die theoretischen und methodologischen Probleme der Soziologie im Umgang mit der Gewalt verweisen vor diesem Hintergrund auf uneingestandene Enttäuschungen über die gesellschaftliche Entwicklung und es stellt sich die Frage, inwieweit die Phänomene, die eine Soziologie der Gewalt in den Blick nehmen sollte, mit den Grundlagen

    Abstract: Abstract: Viele Vorläufer des soziologischen Denkens waren mit der Mathematik und den Naturwissenschaften vertraut. Sie waren für die Klassiker ein Maßstab und ein Modell für die noch junge Soziologie. Der wohl folgenreichste Bezug zur Biologie stellte Niklas Luhmanns Theorie der Selbstreferenz sozialer Systeme dar. Der Beitrag diskutiert die Verbindungen zwischen naturwissenschaftlichem Denken und Gesellschaftstheorie. Dies hat zur Konsequenz, dass abstrakte Kategorien wie "Systeme", "Anpassung", "Zielerreichung" u. ä. ihres sozialen, historischen und politischen Sinns beraubt werden. Die Frage, welche Ziele mit welchen Mitteln anzustreben sind, ist ebenso eine originär politische wie die, an welche Rahmenbedingungen sich ein System anpassen soll. Es ist zugleich erstaunlich, wenn Naturwissenschaftler auf massenmedialer Bühne die Welt erklären. Spätestens hier zeigt sich, dass disziplinäre Selbstbeschränkung angebracht wäre. Solche Erklärungsmuster blenden eine Differenzierung aus, die auch

    Abstract: Abstract: Der für den Kasseler Soziologiekongress gewählte Titel "Die Natur der Gesellschaft" eröffnet unterschiedliche Bedeutungsfelder: Zum einen geht es um den Anspruch mancher Naturwissenschaftler, abschließende Erklärungen zu liefern, welche die Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften vielleicht sogar überflüssig machen könnten. Mit diesem Kampf der Disziplinen war stets auch die Frage verbunden, ob es eher "die Gesellschaft" oder "das Leben" sei, durch die man zu einem Verständnis der Existenzbedingungen des Menschen kommen könne. Zum anderen ergab sich eine Herausforderung für die Soziologie durch reduktionistische naturwissenschaftliche Erklärungsansätze und deren große öffentliche Resonanz. Die Formulierung "Natur der Gesellschaft", die sich schon bei Georg Simmel findet, weist vor diesem Hintergrund auf die soziale Konstruktion von äußerer und innerer Natur sowie auf die sozialen und soziologischen Verständnisse naturaler Voraussetzungen des menschlichen Lebens hin.

    Abstract: Abstract: "Neue Erkenntnisse und Techniken in Feldern wie der Humangenetik, Hirnforschung oder Pharmakologie verbessern nicht nur die Heilungschancen für Krankheiten, sondern eröffnen gleichzeitig Perspektiven zur 'Optimierung' (enhancement) auch 'gesunder' Körper. Körper wird dabei immer weniger als unterschieden von 'Geist' oder 'Psyche' verstanden, sondern als biologische Grundlage auch mentaler Prozesse und psychischer Zustände begriffen. In der öffentlichen (und teilweise auch der bioethischen) Debatte wird häufig davon ausgegangen, ein Bedürfnis nach Körperverbesserung sei entweder anthropologisch festgelegt oder zumindest tief in den kulturellen Leitideen der westlichen Moderne verankert. Eine 'soziologische Aufklärung zur Biopolitik' (Wolfgang van den Daele), die sich auf solche Annahmen stützt, greift allerdings zu kurz. Sie nimmt lediglich die mutmaßlichen Folgen nicht weiter erklärungsbedürftiger und (vermeintlich) selbstbestimmter individueller Entscheidungen für biomedizinisches

    Abstract: Abstract: "Das Konzept sozialer Mechanismen gilt derzeit als vielversprechende Alternative zum deduktiv-nomologischen Erklärungsmodell und daran orientierten quantitativen und komparativen Forschungsstrategien. Es soll der Historizität des Gegenstandsbereichs der Soziologie Rechnung tragen, ohne dabei den Anspruch generalisierbarer Kausalerklärung aufzugeben. Die grundlagentheoretischen Probleme dieses Versuches, den Gegensatz zwischen nomothetischem und idiographischem Wissenschaftsverständnis zu überwinden, verdienen intensiv diskutiert zu werden. Dazu gehört nicht zuletzt die zugrunde gelegte Sozialontologie. Das der Biologie entlehnte Konzept der Mechanismen ist Bestandteil eines Forschungsprogramms, das beobachtete Phänomene durch Prozesse auf einer 'niedrigeren' Realitätsebene kausal zu rekonstruieren beabsichtigt. In der Soziologie verbindet sich dieses Programm oftmals mit einer 'Mikrofundierung' makrosoziologischer Aussagen. Umstritten ist indessen erstens, ob eine solche Mikrofundi

    Abstract: Abstract: "Ziel des Vortrages ist es, das vorherrschende Menschenbild in der Soziologie zu untersuchen und das Problem einer kritischen Begrenzung des Sozialen aufzuwerfen. Als Bezugspunkt soll dabei die Theorie von Plessner dienen, deren Nutzen sich dadurch für die soziologische Theorie erschließen lässt. Obwohl die Soziologie, die Weber entworfen hat, zumeist als Humansoziologie verstanden wird, die allein menschliche Handlungen und Interaktionen zu untersuchen hätte, wird bei genauerer Betrachtung die Gewissheit, dass der Bereich des Sozialen mit dem Menschen zusammenfällt, problematisch. Wenn man zugrunde legt, dass Sozialität nur als historisch kontingent verstanden werden kann, wird fraglich, wie der Bereich des Sozialen begrenzt ist und welche Wesen als soziale Subjekte infrage kommen können: Denn es mag für moderne Gesellschaften zutreffend sein, dass nur Menschen soziale Personen sein können; anzunehmen, dies wäre ein generelles überzeitliches Charakteristikum von Gesellschaft, sprä

    Abstract: Abstract: "Das Referat setzt an einem paradoxen Phänomen alternder Gesellschaften an. Weder der höhere medizinische und gesundheitliche Standard und dessen positiven Folgen für die Leistungsfähigkeit Älterer, noch die gestiegene Lebenserwartung führen zu einer 'natürlichen' Anpassung von Altersbildern. Im Gegenteil, momentan gehört 'Ageism' (Altersstereotype und zugehörige Diskriminierungen) zur Alltagskultur. Das Defizitmodell des Alters bleibt - wider lebensweltlicher Erfahrungen und wissenschaftlicher Befunde - offenbar deutungsmächtig. Im medialen Diskurs werden zudem die Prognosen der Demographen zu Vorhersagen von Naturkatastrophen stilisiert und damit eine Hysterie gegenüber Alterungsprozessen angeheizt. Gleichzeitig wird deutlich, dass ältere Arbeitnehmer nicht nur länger arbeiten könnten, sondern dieses nun auch als notwendig und erforderlich diskutiert wird. Daraus ergeben sich für die Soziologie des Alterns eine Reihe brisanter Forschungsfragen. Im Referat wird zunächst der Begrif

    Abstract: Abstract: "Max Weber hat auf eine Morphologie der Macht verzichtet, um die Soziologie nicht auf die Analyse des 'dumpfen, ungeschiedenen vegetativen 'Untergrund(s)' des persönlichen Lebens' verpflichten zu müssen. Stattdessen setzte er auf die Grundlegung einer Empirie der Macht, indem er deren Analyse auf den 'Sonderfall' der Herrschaft konzentrierte. Während der Begriff Macht mit dem Begriff eines wie auch immer und gegenüber wem auch immer durchzusetzenden, amorphen Willens koinzidiert, tritt der Begriff Herrschaft gemeinsam mit Begriffen auf, die über ein beobachtbares und entsprechend objektivierbares Pendant in der empirischen Welt verfügen: 'Herrschaft soll heißen die Chance, für einen Befehl bestimmten Inhalts bei angebbaren Personen Gehorsam zu finden'. Webers Haltung zum Verhältnis von Soziologie und Biologie (d.h.: der Wissenschaft vom 'vegetativen Untergrund') lässt vor dem Hintergrund eines Diskussionsbeitrags auf dem ersten Soziologentag 1910 in Frankfurt am Main verstehen.

    Abstract: Abstract: "Die moderne Biologie, speziell Genetik und Neurobiologie, scheinen die handlungstheoretische Basis der Soziologie in Frage zu stellen. Widerlegen ihre neuesten Ergebnisse tatsächlich Axiome, deren Fortfall das soziologische Theoriegebäude einstürzen ließe? Diese Axiome beziehen sich auf unser Menschenbild. Diesem Menschenbild zufolge hat der im Prozess primärer und sekundärer Sozialisation geprägte Akteur sozial-kulturell geformte Präferenzen, die sein Handeln leiten, er ist offen für seine Umwelt und reproduziert in seinem Handeln kulturell vorgegebene Muster. Die moderne Genetik scheint das Verhältnis zwischen Natur und Umwelt, nature and nurture in der Bestimmung des menschlichen Handelns zugunsten der Natur zu verschieben. Bei genauerer Betrachtung bestätigt sich jedoch, dass der handelnde Mensch, der Mensch der Soziologie ganz überwiegend ein Produkt der Sozialisation in eine historisch geformte Gesellschaft hinein ist. Die Genetik definiert lediglich die äußerste Grenze sozi

    Abstract: The contributors to this book look at the phenomenon of entrepreneurship in emerging regions in India, China, Ireland, Eastern Europe, North and South America, and North and South-East Asia. The organization is designed to take the reader from a general framework for understanding the relationship between economic development and entrepreneurship to more specific examples of how entrepreneurs and their firms respond to the opportunity and threats that are dynamically evolving in such places. The book represents the first serious attempt to suggest new theoretical frameworks for understanding the emergence of entrepreneurship in regions that do not have all of the classical prerequisites (such as financial and human capital, favorable geography, institutional infrastructures, and so on) predicted in extant development models

    Abstract: Eduardo Wiesner's book makes an important contribution to the understanding of development by blending together the interdependent issues of (i) macroeconomic performance and volatility, (ii) equity and distributive justice, (iii) fiscal deficits and the redistributive effectiveness of social public expenditures, and (iv) the demand for the 'right' institutions and for policy reform in Latin America. It does this by examining recent macroeconomic crises from a political economy perspective, and finds that information is the critical algorithm that links together the demand for macroeconomic stability, macroeconomic performance and, ultimately, distributive justice

    Abstract: As this comprehensive Companion demonstrates, social economics is a dynamic and growing field that emphasizes the key role that values play in the economy and in economic life. Social economics treats the economy and economics as being embedded in the larger web of social and ethical relationships. It also regards economics and ethics as essentially connected, and adds values such as justice, fairness, dignity, well-being, freedom and equality to the standard emphasis on efficiency. The Elgar Companion to Social Economics brings together the leading contributors in the field to elucidate a wide range of recent developments across different subject areas and topics. In so doing the contributors also map the likely trends and directions of future research. This Companion will undoubtedly become a leading reference source and guide to social economics for many years to come

This edition reflects Turner's developing position on the centrality of vulnerability.

    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: Regional Economic Policy in Europe presents a tightly focused selection of policy, empirical and theoretical perspectives on contemporary dimensions of regional economic policy in the EU. It concentrates on three areas; the dissimilarities and resulting convergence of disparate regions within the EU; the localisation of economic activities and how regions can understand and manage them and, finally, the experiences and lessons that can be drawn from European regional policy. While exploring EU cohesion and regional development more widely, the book also examines Spanish, Belgian and Eastern European experiences on growth, human capital, foreign investment and technological spillovers. This up-to-date and thoroughly researched study is one that will be appreciated by academics and researchers of European studies and regional economics in Europe. Policymakers will also find the conclusions reached within the pages of this book invaluable

    Abstract: This book discusses the impact of taxation on economic growth, employment, investment, consumption and the environment. The public finance literature commonly distinguishes between three major functions of taxation: the traditional function of raising revenue to finance government expenditure; the distributional function as an instrument to alter the distribution of income and wealth amongst households; and the regulatory function that uses taxation at the benefit of stabilization and other economic policies. Especially after the Second World War, OECD countries have increasingly used taxation to achieve a variety of economic and social objectives. Today many governments use the tax system to stimulate economic growth and employment. Fiscal measures also play a role in creating a favourable climate for business investment and to promote a long-term sustainable environmental policy. Currently, in the debate on global warming, the use of tax instruments to tackle climate change is on the top of the international agenda. The authors aim to provide the reader with the necessary empirical information, while at the same time presenting an overview of the latest theory and best practices. In doing so, many relevant policy issues are touched upon. Based on theoretical and empirical studies and practical experiences in OECD countries, the book establishes guidelines for effective tax policy. The book offers tools for tax design in a globalising economy and the world of the internet with increasing tax competition and a growing battle for companies and brains between countries. The book also presents a 'carrot and stick' model to promote clean technologies, reduce pollution and combat climate change. The message from the authors is straightforward: broad, low, simple, and a shift from income to consumption taxation. These principles are illustrated in a concept proposal for a so-called Second Life Tax system

    Abstract: 'This book is a well written and handy source for readers. Additionally, it provides an overview of current issues relevant to the development of entrepreneurial policy, which is based on interesting case studies across a number of nations ...' - Dessy Irawati, International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behaviour and Research. 'What is new in the world is the need to understand business dynamics; the entry, exit and growth of firms in the economy. This dynamic firm structure, as opposed to the static firm structure that dominated past thinking, has spurred an outpouring of research. The heart of the issue is that while many have identified the importance of business dynamics (entry and exit) we have only recently taken a closer look at the ecological system in which some companies must die for others to thrive. Entrepreneurs are the predators of this system. Public policy in an entrepreneurial economy (dynamic) must limit the forces that prevent firm exit and foster the forces that promote firm entry. This book makes an important contribution to the debate.' - Zoltán J. Ács, George Mason University, US. This unique Handbook provides a solid foundation for essential study in the nascent field of entrepreneurship policy research. This foundation is initially developed via the exploration of two significant propositions underpinning the nature of entrepreneurship policy research. The first is that entrepreneurship has emerged as a bona fide focus of public policy, particularly with respect to economic growth and employment creation. The second is that neither scholars nor policy makers are presently equipped to understand the public policy role for entrepreneurship. The contributors - experienced scholars, specialist researchers and dynamic policy makers thus grapple with novel questions of considerable policy relevance that few have previously posed. The Handbook therefore provides some of the first crucial, systematic analyses of important issues, and key questions to be raised in order to move entrepreneurship policy forward are also presented. Written by academics and practitioners drawing examples from both North America and Europe, this stimulating new Handbook is a prerequisite for students, scholars and practitioners in the incipient world of entrepreneurship policy

    Abstract: 'This volume is excellent. Students who are interested in Asian business should read it and will find the comprehensive bibliography offered by the different contributors very helpful. In light of the recent global financial crises, it is time to re-examine the "Asian miracles," as well as the Western models of business organizations and regulations. This volume offers great insights not just on Asian business but also on Western economies and business. It is also time to adopt an integrative approach recommended by Yeung through comparative research of businesses and economies in different institutions and cultures.' - Yifei Sun, Economic Geography. 'An absolute "must-have" for college library reference shelves, filled cover-to-cover with keen analyses that any businessperson seeking to make inroads in an Asian market needs to study at length!' - Midwest Book Review. 'This book serves as an important guide to the many fascinating research questions about Asian business waiting to be addressed. The study of Asian business has reached equality in importance to the study of business in Europe and North America. Researchers who study any of these regions have an incentive to follow the study of business in the other regions, if for no other reason than that many global firms from each region operate in all regions now. Nonetheless, the more important reason for knowledge transfer among researchers of each region is that these exchanges can only advance everyone's research. Henry Yeung and the contributors are to be thanked for setting out a rich agenda for research on Asian business that will elevate this study to equality with research elsewhere in the world.' - Eurasian Geography and Economics. 'This book is extremely comprehensive and well researched. It will be of particular interest to scholars in the fields of international business, development studies, economic geography, regional studies as well as international and national policymakers.' - Science Technology & Society. The rise of Asia as an important region for global business has been widely recognized as one of the most significant economic phenomena in the new millennium. This accessible and comprehensive Handbook brings together state-of-the-art reviews of Asian business in an expansive range of areas including: business organizations, strategic management, marketing, state-business relations, business and development, business policy issues. It is argued that whilst academic studies on Asian ...

    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: 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: The Korean Economy examines how Korea's inward FDI-led globalization, particularly since the financial crisis of 1997, has been experienced, understood, managed and often strongly resisted in various economic, social and cultural domains. It is an in-depth analysis combining perspectives from politics and economics, examining a number of grievances as seen through the eyes of actual foreign investors operating in Korea. The authors argue that it is precisely these obstacles that need to be addressed if Korea is to live up to its full potential in terms of becoming a truly attractive magnet for FDI and comprehensively integrating into the global economy. The authors make a convincing case that the challenges Korea currently faces are by no means limited to institutional and policy reforms, but rather are entrenched in an anti-globalization mindset shared by all sectors of society. This critical examination of the Korean government's inward FDI policies includes the experiences of around 50 CEOs of operating MNCs in Korea including various chambers of commerce and law firms. It also examines both perceptions and realities of the Korean market from in-depth interviews with over 50 foreign CEOs of MNCs operating in Korea, as well as a critical examination of Korea's current efforts to become a Northeast Asian business centre. This book will appeal to academics and postgraduate students of Asian studies and international business, the foreign business community (including existing and potential foreign investors to the Korean market) as well as government and policy makers

    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
