Overeducation among EU and third-country immigrants in Europe
Faced with the demographic shift to a smaller and older labour force, the recruitment of migrants and their successful integration into the labour force is an essential challenge for all European countries. This article discusses the immigrant-native gap regarding the risk of overeducation for 28 European countries on the basis of the EU-LFS 2021 ad hoc module. Immigrants’ higher overeducation risks are interpreted as the result of processes of l…
Equal treatment in the single market? Labour market opportunities for migrants with a European and a non-European background
This article discusses whether the single market contributes to the Europeanisation of labour markets by comparing the employment and wage conditions of European and non-European migrants. Such a Europeanisation can be expected from the fact that the single market facilitates the free movement of people, that it simplifies the recognition of qualifications, the harmonisation of social rights and the extension of social benefits to persons from ot…
Wolfgang Streeck, Zwischen Globalismus und Demokratie
Das hier zu besprechende Buch geht von einem antagonistischen Verhltnis von europischer und globaler Integration einerseits und nationaler Demokratie andererseits aus. Streeck argumentiert, dass der "neoliberale Zentralismus" und die europische Integration unweigerlich zur Entdemokratisierung fhren, da es eine supranationale Demokratie in der von Streeck prferierten Form einer sozialen Demokratie nicht geben knne (28). Damit stellt sich die Frage…

The role of family social capital in school-to-work transitions of young adults in Germany
Is Property an Insurance or an Additional Burden? Financial Stress Among Homeowners in Europe
A crucial function of wealth is to protect individuals from the consequences of adverse life events. However, sometimes wealth also implies additional financial risks. In addition to the insurance function of homeownership (the most common form of wealth), we therefore also examine financial squeezes that reflect the indebtedness and social embeddedness of homeowners and limit their options for dealing with social risks. A third hypothesis expect…
Institutional logics of service provision
Labour market activation policies aimed at those with multiple barriers to employment require inter-agency collaboration between local organizations providing social and employment services. This local collaborative context is shaped by different institutional logics (state, markets, professions and community) that are crucial for policy implementation. Using case studies of nine German, UK and Swedish cities, it is argued that different institut…
Horizontal Europeanisation
Kollaborative Innovationen
Innovation is increasingly based on distributed knowledge sources, given that firms often do not possess all competencies necessary for fundamental innovations. Hence, the manner in which firms organize the access to external knowledge and make use of this knowledge in internal innovation processes is crucial for the success of innovation. Learning processes have to be organized across organizational, spa¬tial, functional, and disciplinary bounda…
The Europeanization of income inequality before and during the eurozone crisis
Social inequalities can no longer be analysed only in a national context. They are increasingly generated, regulated and perceived at the European level. As a contribution to the emerging sociology of European integration, an international, a supranational and a transnational understanding of the Europeanization of income inequalities is discussed in this article. When Europe is conceived of as an international arena, the patterns and dynamics of…
Integrating social and employment policies at the local level
Chapter 2 (authored by Martin Heidenreich and Deborah Rice) lays the analytical groundwork for the empirical chapters in the book. The chapter focuses on the organizational challenges associated with the integrated delivery of employment and social services at the local level, and discusses how the fragmentation of services between the local, regional, national and European level (vertical fragmentation), between public actors, private companies …

The New Museum Folkwang in Essen. A Contribution to the Cultural and Economic Regeneration of the Ruhr Area?
The “Bilbao effect” shows that major cultural investments can contribute to the regeneration of old industrial cities and regions. Four different contributions can be distinguished: the (1) direct economic effects of such an investment; (2) social functions of a cultural institution which often serves as a point of contact for local and regional elites; (3) symbolic functions as an expression of a new regional identity and (4) cognitive functions…
Renewal through Culture? The Role of Museums in the Renewal of Industrial Regions in Europe
Bilbao has become a role model for the regeneration of declining urban and industrial regions. The debate on the so-called Bilbao effect showed that rundown industrial cities and regions might profit from culture-based development strategies, even if successful urban regeneration cannot be induced by only one flagship project without an appropriate local and regional context. Based on the comparative analysis of six, in general recently founded, …
The end of the honeymoon
This article discusses the changing social distribution of unemployment and long-term unemployment risks during the current financial and economic crisis. These risks are interpreted as the result of three different, overlapping forms of labour market segmentation: first, the institutionally stabilized polarization between labour market insiders and outsiders; second, the occupational dualization of high- and low-skilled employees and occupations…
Krise der europäischen Vergesellschaftung?
Die europäische Integration führte insbesondere seit den 1990er Jahren zu einer grundlegenden Transformation der sozialen Beziehungen und der Lebenssituation der Menschen in Europa. Während sich das Leben der Menschen in der Nachkriegszeit vorrangig im Rahmen von Nationalstaaten abspielte, geht die Öffnung nationalstaatlicher Räume mit einer zunehmenden grenzüberschreitenden Verflechtung und einer stärkeren transnationalen Integration sozialer In…

Lost in activation? The governance of activation policies in E urope
Over the past two decades, activation has become a rather fashionable E uropean trend for policies in the area of welfare and work, facilitating the job inclusion especially of the long‐term unemployed and other disadvantaged groups. The activation paradigm implies important challenges for related policy fields and the organisational provision of individualised, client‐centred training, skills development and counselling services. The main aim of…
Active inclusion as an organisational challenge
Active inclusion aims at the reduction of poverty by strengthening the agency of excluded persons by the provision of a minimum income, activation and social services. The contribution to poverty alleviation is determined by expenditure levels and the organisation of these three policy fields. This can be shown by three examples: The comprehensive Swedish regime is characterised by high expenditures; the redistributive German regime is characteri…

The social embeddedness of multinational companies
Multinational companies (MNCs) combine the advantages of global strategies with embeddedness in heterogeneous social, and especially national, contexts. This embeddedness contributes to the innovativeness of MNCs by facilitating access to external resources and competences as well as coordination with internal and external actors. After a theoretical introduction to the embeddedness concept, highlighting its multidimensionality and dynamics as we…
Horizontal Europeanisation
European integration has transformed the social life of European citizens. Daily life and work no longer take place primarily in a local and national context, but increasingly in a European and transnational frame ? a process of ?horizontal Europeanisation? which, while increasing the life chances of European citizens, also brings about conflicts among them. This book focuses on processes of Europeanisation in the academic, bureaucratic, professi…
The Open Method of Co‐ordination
The open method of co‐ordination (OMC) can contribute to the co‐ordinated modernization of the national systems of employment and social protection in Europe, if it is institutionalized in a relatively stable way at the European level and if the European processes can influence effectively the national reform strategies. The first challenge was met successfully by the bureaucratization, codification and formalization of some co‐ordination process…
Regional Inequalities in the Enlarged Europe
In a multilevel system like the European Union (EU), social conflicts are defined and conceived mainly in territorial categories. As a result, the disparities between Eastern and Western Europe may give rise to additional transfer payments or even endanger further enlargements of the EU. The acuteness of this trilemma of enlargement, increased political cooperation and budgetary neutrality can be lessened either by a quick convergence of Eastern …
Patterns of Regional Inequality in the Enlarged Europe
Regional economic inequalities are increasing in most of the European Union (EU) member states, while between-nation inequalities in the enlarged Europe are declining in the last years. The economic differences between East and West Europe are gradually diminishing and the EU is becoming a relatively homogeneous economic, legal, and political field, which promotes social and economic cohesion in Europe (at a rate of approximately 2 per cent per y…

Beschäftigungsordnungen zwischen Exklusion und Inklusion / Employment Regulations between Exclusion and Inclusion
In den angelsächsischen Ländern und in Skandinavien haben sich inklusive Beschäftigungsordnungen entwickelt, während die kontinental- und südeuropäischen Länder durch exklusive Beschäftigungsordnungen gekennzeichnet sind. Dies ist das Ergebnis unterschiedlicher institutioneller Rahmenbedingungen: Die Einbeziehung der erwerbsfähigen Bevölkerung ins Erwerbsleben hängt in erheblichem Maß von den industriellen Beziehungen, der Sozial und Steuerpoliti…
Die duale Berufsausbildung zwischen industrieller Prägung und wissensgesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen
Das duale Berufsausbildungssystem war jahrzehntelang eine zentrale Stärke des deutschen Produktionsmodells. Allerdings ist dieses System in normativer, kognitiver und strategischer Hinsicht entscheidend von der Industriegesellschaft geprägt. Dies gilt sowohl für die verbandlichen Regulationsstrukturen und die Ausbildungs-und Berufskonzepte als auch für die berufsfachlich legitimierten Schließungsstrategien. Der Wandel von einer Industrie- zu eine…

Vor dem Hintergrund von vier Fallstudien in der ostdeutschen Elektronik- und Bekleidungsindustrie werden die Koordinierungsformen plan wirtschaftlichen Handelns auf der über-, zwischen- und innerbetrieblichen Ebene beschrieben. Die Regulationsstrukturen auf diesen drei Ebenen sind durch eine deutliche Diskrepanz zwischen formal rationalen Regelwerken und informellen Macht- und Austauschbeziehungen gekennzeichnet. Dies wird am Beispiel der Pseudo-…

Problems of Generalisation in Cross-National Studies of Organisations
This article addresses the issue of how to generalise the results of case studies, which are the main instrument of most cross-national studies on organisations. Drawing on his own studies and those of others, the author reconstructs three ways of dealing with this problem: an 'experimental' procedure resting on the classical approach of comparing 'matched' pairs; a 'holistic', usually interpretive procedure based on the 'cultural' or 'systemic' …

L'organisation «réelle» de l'économie planifiée de l' ex-République démocratique allemande
En se basant sur quatre études de cas réalisées dans l'industrie électronique et de l'habillement, l'auteur décrit la manière dont les activités économiques étaient coordonnées dans une économie planifiée, à trois niveaux différents : au niveau central, du point de vue des relations entre les firmes et à l'intérieur des firmes. Les structures régulatrices opérant à ces trois niveaux étaient caractérisées par un net décalage entre les systèmes de …
