Imbalance
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-68356-6 (ISBN)
Documenting large-scale changes and new tensions in the welfare state, company strategies, interest intermediation, and macroeconomic governance, the volume makes the case for analysing contemporary Germany through the politics of imbalance rather than the long-standing paradigm of institutional stability. This conceptual reorientation around inequalities and disparities provides much-needed traction for clarifying the causal dynamics that govern ongoing processes of institutional recomposition. Delving into the politics of imbalance, the volume explicates the systemic properties of capitalism, multivalent policy feedback, and the organizational foundations of creative adjustment as key vantage points for understanding new forms of distributional conflict within and beyond Germany.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of German Politics.
Tobias Schulze-Cleven is Associate Professor and Co-Director of the Center for Global Work and Employment at the School of Management and Labor Relations at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, USA. His research examines the comparative political economy of labour markets and higher education across the rich democracies. Sidney A. Rothstein is Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Williams College, USA. His research focuses on Europe and the United States, and investigates the politics of digital transformation, explaining how the transition to the knowledge economy reshapes relationships of power, and patterns of inequality, in different countries.
