Building the Future of Work Today - A Labor Studies Perspective
What can labor studies contribute to ongoing debates about the future of work? In a recent edited volume, Revaluing Work(ers): Toward a Democratic and Sustainable Future (Schulze-Cleven and Vachon 2021), we put forward a set of propositions that have sparked lively discussions at academic conferences over the past two years. This essay introduces a symposium on "Labor Studies and the Future of Work" that extends these earlier conversations and ma…
The Future of Work and Workers
The rollout of sophisticated digital tools -including advanced robotics, data analytics, machine learning and the Internet of Things -threatens to disrupt the distribution, role and nature of work in society. Raising the spectre of mass unemployment and social instability, researchers predict that technological progress will soon allow for the rapid automation of many tasks that are currently performed by humans. Already the pace of change appear…

Debating Lessons from Germany After the Social Democratic Century
This article seeks to stimulate a debate about the propositions that this special issue advances on German political economy by presenting responses from two experts who were not otherwise involved. Both scholars independently engage with the volume’s characterisations of empirical developments and arguments for conceptual innovation. Their comments highlight three themes in particular: the malleability of ‘conflictual partnership’ in industrial …
Germany After the Social Democratic Century
The end of the social democratic century has marked the beginning of a new era of political and economic imbalance in Europe. These dynamics are visible even in Germany, despite its reputation for stability. This article proposes reorienting the paradigm for research on Germany’s political economy from stability to imbalance in order to help illuminate central causal processes within the country and across the rich democracies. As our review of p…
Beyond Stability
From the post-war period up to the early 2000s, (West) Germany was viewed as a paradigmatic case of institutional stability, successfully accommodating different social interests. Yet the past two decades have brought large-scale changes to the structures of Germany’s political and economic life. This article introduces a special issue that seeks to rethink Germany’s political economy by shifting the scholarly lens on Germany from stability to im…
Organizing Competition
Governments around the world have turned to higher education to sustain economic development and social welfare. This article uses the concept of the regulatory welfare state (RWS) to examine how state authorities in the United States and Germany have sought to spur structural changes in the education sector. I argue that policy-makers in both countries have pursued the goal of organizing competition among universities by combining fiscal and reg…
A Continent in Crisis
Over the past decade, Europe has stumbled from crisis to crisis, shaking the confidence of observers in the continent’s capacity to maintain the egalitarian societies and socially embedded markets that have long informed arguments for social democratic reforms in the United States. As tensions in democratic capitalism have intensified, many aspects of Europe’s established political economic order have come under pressure. This review essay explor…

German Labor Relations in International Perspective
The German model of labor relations is once again attracting significant attention, even if assessments of its health and economic consequences diverge. This review article clarifies debates about German labor relations and illuminates their significance for theorizing the political economy of wealthy democracies. It demonstrates how four different narratives about German practices from the late twentieth century continue to shape contemporary di…
Conceptualizing Cooperation
Despite recognizing that institutionalized cooperation is central to both business and politics in many advanced, industrialized economies, scholars remain divided over the origins, character, and future of “non-liberal” capitalism. This article seeks to clarify these debates by arguing that different processes of cooperation are governed by distinct logics of collective action and associated with different dynamics of collaboration. For example,…
Playing Normative Legacies
Europe's affluent democracies adopted different policy strategies to buffer their labor markets from the effects of the worldwide recession that followed the financial crisis in 2007. This article offers a sociologically anchored historical institutionalist explanation to account for this divergence. Reviewing the politics of employment policymaking before, during, and after the crisis in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Denmark, the article trac…
