The Dragon Reaches the Eastern Mediterranean
The Eastern Mediterranean region has been the subject of global power competition for many decades. Europe, Russia, and the United States have at different stages and in changing configurations sought to exercise influence in and power over various countries in the Eastern Mediterranean. But over the course of the past decade, the aforementioned triangle has been reshaped into a quadrangle. A new external actor has emerged and firmly planted its …

Underwriting a recovery through exports? Opportunities in and obstacles for South East Europe
While an export-led growth agenda for the Western Balkans may answer some pivotal questions it simultaneously raises others. Ever since the global economic recession and the financial crisis hit the region of the Western Balkans with some delay in the second half of 2008, international trade was significantly affected in the countries of the region. This contribution will seek to identify opportunities and challenges for an economic recovery in t…

Serbia’s transition
‘Cry wolf’ no more
During the past five years, the economies of the West Balkans have been experiencing a period of sustained economic recovery with strong GDP growth, declining price inflation, increasing foreign direct investment (FDI), and the prospect of EU membership in the medium term. With Bulgaria and Romania having joined the European Union in January 2007, the terms of reference and institutional dynamics are changing for countries in the Western Balkans.…

‘Knowing your way in the Balkans’
Greek businesses are at the forefront of foreign direct investment in south eastern Europe. Their decade long entrepreneurial activity in the region has placed them in a position to profoundly shape the economic geography of these neighbouring transition countries. The contribution explores the reasons why Greek companies have identified and taken advantage of an entirely new set of investment opportunities in the region. Geographical proximity i…
Banking on and in Southeast Europe
This article departs from standard, mostly negative, assumptions about economic developments and financial sector prospects for Southeast Europe. It argues that considerable changes are taking place in terms of the transition of banking sectors, the privatization of financial institutions, and the centrality of attracting (Greek) foreign direct investment. The leading hypothesis is that apart from specific economic risk assessments associated wit…

The process of social unification
Die schrecklichen Deutschen. Eine merkwürdige Liebeserklärung. By Angelo Bolaffi. Berlin: Siedler Verlag, 1995. Die Ungewollte Moderne. Ost‐West Passagen. By Wolfgang Engler. Frankfurt a.M.: Edition Suhrkamp, 1995. Sozialgeschichte der DDR. Edited by Hartmut Kaelble, Jürgen Kocka and Hartmut Zwahr. Stuttgart: Klett‐Cotta, 1994
Brothers in arms or at arms? IG‐Metall in 1994
The protracted collective bargaining dispute in German manufacturing during spring 1994 displayed a variety of characteristics fundamental to an understanding of the social unification process in Germany. This article focuses on contextual conditions affecting the negotiating and compromise formation process. This serves to illustrate the ‘turbulent environment’ under which industrial relations are currently taking place. To illustrate this argum…
The enfant terrible of German politics
The paper addresses three related questions about the most controversial political party represented in the Bundestag: the PDS. Who is this party? What is it? And where does it stand in the German party system? In highlighting the PDS’ social profile, its internal debates about how to confront the legacy of the past and what its options are in the diverging political cultures of east and west Germany, it emerges that there is a future role for th…
Work Sharing
Modern times
The matrix of incentives and constraints that a network of institutions displays are fundamental to our understanding of the adoption, implementation and evaluation of public policies: labour market policies are no exception. This article argues that labour market policies cannot be seen in isolation. They interact with other policies and are determined, inter alia, by entrenched institutional legacies and standard operating procedures in the ind…
Les syndicats européens face au temps de travail
La politique du temps de travail est une composante principale de l'espace social européen. Sur une base comparative, l'auteur montre que les syndicats en Grande-Bretagne et en Allemagne utilisent la ressource «espace social européen» de façon opposée. L'auteur débouche enfin sur une question plus prospective : la capacité des syndicats nationaux à utiliser le champ nouveau qu'est l'espace social européen, pour réinscrire de nouvelles stratégies …
Problems of Employment-Effective Working Time Policies - Theoretical Considerations and Lessons from France, the Netherlands and West Germany
Central to this paper is the question of whether the actors dealing with working time policy are in the position to adopt a policy of working time reduction when unemployment becomes acute and to make it an effective strategy for improving the employment situation. Particularly relevant to this question are the intraorganisational problems of unions reaching a consensus on this issue. Unions' strategic problems are analysed as well as the precond…
