Beyond early warning
The timeliness between initial alerts of early outbreak detection and key epidemiological evidence about the emerging threat reached far beyond the first warning for the global community. To improve on the best knowledge available for an immediate response, it is recommended that further gathering and documentation from event-based surveillance is engaged to create a more complete assessment for uncontrollable infectious disease outbreaks and epi…

Literacy, achievement and success in a Māori tourism certificate programme
This article critiques international assessment of adult literacy using research findings from students completing a Māori tourism certificate who achieved significant gains in assessment. It is argued that the focus of literacy assessments potentially forces educators to narrow their teaching and learning approaches, manoeuvring them into teaching toward singular or convergent literacy. This leads to utilising teaching and learning strategies dr…

Culinary culture and globalization. An analysis of British and German Michelin-starred restaurants
The high-end restaurant segment in Britain and Germany has long been shaped by the cultural hegemony of French haute cuisine, perpetuated by multiple processes, including the influence of the Michelin or Red Guide. Traditionally, this hegemony has been expressed in the prevalence of French expatriate chefs, culinary techniques and style and even restaurant culture. This paper investigates whether processes of globalization have weakened or even u…
The Private Regulation of Labour Standards and Rights in the Global Clothing Industry
This article examines the effectiveness of private transnational regulation of labour standards/rights in the clothing industry. It adopts three objectives. First, the study focuses on national states in developing countries, explaining their lack of enforcement of labour law and the suppression of labour rights. Second, the article examines the effectiveness of transnational regulatory networks (TRNs) in raising labour standards/rights in produc…
Capitalist diversity and diversity within capitalism
At the heart of debates around internal diversity within specific national contexts lie the questions of social action and the relative impact of institutional concentrations at spatial, industrial and specific hierarchical levels. Internal diversity represents the product of specific historical legacies and the uneven nature of change, the effects of transnational players and regulation, the operation of complementarity, and of regional and sect…
Domestic capabilities and global production networks in the clothing industry
In this paper we examine the sourcing strategies of clothing firms in the developed economies of the UK and Germany in the context of their national institutional framework. We argue that, as a result of their embeddedness in divergent national structures, these firms pursue different sourcing strategies and make different locational choices. We place particular emphasis on the different mix of arms' length and relational contracting that firms d…
Changes in Corporate Governance of German Corporations
This paper examines the many changes which have transformed the German system of corporate governance during the last seven odd years. It concludes that it is in the process of converging towards the Anglo-American model and that this has fundamentally affected the way strategic decisions are made in firms. Convergence is not seen as a functional necessity, nor is it viewed as inevitable. The paper offers both a theoretical exploration of institu…
Multiple Discourse Analyses of a Workplace Interaction
This article explores the contributions that five different approaches to discourse analysis can make to interpreting and understanding the same piece of data. Conversation analysis, interactional sociolinguistics, politeness theory, critical discourse analysis, and discursive psychology are the approaches chosen for comparison. The data is a nine-minute audio recording of a spontaneous workplace interaction. The analyses are compared, and the th…
The Professions Between State And Market
This paper analyses the impact on the professions of changes in their institutional environment during the past two decades. A comparison is made between two professions - solicitors/advocates and pharmacists - in the contrasting institutional contexts of British and German society. It is suggested that, despite common pressures from the state and the market, there remains a significant degree of diversity in the way professions organize themselv…

Globalization and the German model of capitalism - erosion or survival
The German business system has been regarded as a particularly tightly coupled system, with embeddedness of even multinational companies (MNCs) in their home base as particularly deep. A study of the impact of companies' changing internationalization, if not globalization, strategies is therefore especially suited to test competing claims about their effects on the German business system. Are we experiencing an erosion of this system, an adaptati…
The right to interpreting and translation services in New Zealand courts
New Zealand law has not dealt with interpreting and translation in court as a general language policy issue, but it has recognized limited rights to such services in pursuit of other rights, and these rights to interpreting and translation have expanded since 1987. The law to be applied in a particular circumstance is a combination of legislation, case law, and human rights law based on international conventions, and depends on whether the procee…
Co-operation in Inter-Firm Relations in Britain and Germany
The first part of the paper will theoretically examine the social function of trust, the preconditions of the production of trust and the possibility of reconstructing power as a mechanism functionally similar to trust. The second part of the paper is based on empirical research and will elaborate from a comparative perspective (Britain and Germany) how industry associations and legal regulations influence the quality of inter-firm relations. The…

Trust' or Law? Towards an Integrated Theory of Contractual Relations between Firms
Socio-legal studies of business contracting have profoundly affected our understanding of the form and functions of the law of contract. Empirical research has shown that firms frequently dispense with formal planning and make little recourse to the law to resolve contractual disputes, preferring flexibility as a basis for long-term co-operation.2 The orthodox or 'classical' model of contract law, in which contracting parties completely 'presenti…

Gender and the Labour Market in Europe
This paper has two objectives: to contrast patterns of female labour market participation in three West European societies and to develop a theoretical approach which can encompass both universal features of gender divisions in the labour market and nationally specific ones. Empirically, the focus is on the different levels and forms of labour force participation over the female life cycle, particularly on any resultant employment casualization. …

Management and Labour in Europe
Industrial Reorganization in Europe
One of the responses to increased uncertainty and heightened competition in the 1980s has been a strategy on the part of large firms to externalise more production and design tasks, leading to what has been termed a new division of labour between firms. In this paper the study of the changing relationship between large buyer companies and predominantly small and medium-sized supplier enterprises (SMEs) is approached in both an historical and a co…

Industrial Change in Europe
This paper examines industrial change during the 1980s in two advanced capitalist societies - the Federal Republic of Germany and Britain - and assesses how far the evidence lends support to the Piore and Sabel thesis that a new model of industrial organisation - referred to as `flexible specialisation' - is emerging in advanced societies. The paper concludes that, although some movement towards flexible specialisation is discernible in both soci…

This paper explores the impact of organizational/technological change on the position in the labour process and labour market of lower white-collar workers in the Financial Services sector of Britain and the Federal Republic of Germany. Differences in their position are explained by reference both to the 'labour process' debate and to the notion of national cultural distinctions between the two societies. Particular emphasis is given to the syste…

The Impact of the Economic and Political System on Social Stratification and Social Mobility
This paper provides the first detailed study of lower white-collar workers in Soviet society. It traces the historical development of this social category during the Soviet period, gives a general social profile of the stratum now and locates it in the Soviet system of social stratification. Comparisons are made with equivalent strata in Western society, and both divergences and commonalities are identified. The former are explained by reference …

Some Explanations for the Persistence of Christian Religion in Soviet Society
Despite an extremely hostile environment, Christian religion has persisted in the Soviet Union. Three types of explanation are most frequently encountered in the Soviet sociological and philosophical literature: the first explanation is in terms of limited and temporary social inequalities, the second points to psychological factors, the third ascribes the survival of religion to its adaptability to changing social circumstances. Each of these ex…

The New Religious Life in the Soviet Union
Acounts of new religious movements have been almost exclusively about those which have arisen in the last two decades in the most advanced capitalist societies, and theoretical explanations of their emergence and spread have very firmly connected them with the material standard and social ethos of that type of society. Although there have been significant new developments in the religious life of Soviet society there have been no religious moveme…

It points to the many aspects of gender relations in which the GDR has made greater advances towards sexual equality than the advanced Western capitalist societies. Variations in the attained level of women's emancipation between state socialist societies are discussed, and compar…

The trends towards employment flexibility in Britain, West Germany and France are documented in some detail, and both the role of the state and the practices of employers are examined. An attempt is made to assess the significance of the flexi…
