Beyond Varieties of Capitalism: Conflict, Contradictions, and Complementarities in the European Economy

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since the early 1990s, Europe`s economies have been facing several new challenges: the single market programme, the collapse of the Berlin wall and eastward enlargement, and monetary unification. Building on the influential Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) perspective, first elaboarted in detail in the book Varieties of Capitalism (OUP, 2001), this book critically analyzes these developments in the European political economy and their effects on the continental European economies. Leading political economists from Europe and the US debate how VoC can help understand the political-economic challenges that Europe is facing today and how understanding these new challenges can in turn enrich and enhance the VoC perspective. Thematically, the contributions to this volume are organized in four sections: * how the macro-economics of EMU have influenced different European models of capitalism, * how the Single Market programme was received in the different institutional regimes in… [detailed...]

Beyond Work-Family Balance: Advancing Gender Equity and Workplace Performance

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Everyone who struggles to meet the demands of work and personal-life responsibilities knows how tough it is to do so. This bold new book shows that it is the deeply engrained separation of work and personal life that has limited our ability to deal effectively with the conflict between them. Beyond Work-Family Balance demonstrates why the image of `balance` is outmoded and why a new approach — work-personal life integration — offers greater promise for meaningful change. Providing many examples from action research projects in more than a dozen organizations of different kinds, the authors show how using their method of integrating rather than separating personal-life considerations from the workplace can achieve positive outcomes,not only for workers but also for the work. The method offers a way of looking deeply into the work culture to find inequitable and ineffective work practices that are so embedded and routine that no one thinks to question them —… [detailed...]

Beyond the Age of Oil: The Myths, Realities, and Future of Fossil Fuels and Their Alternatives

Publisher: —
Description: At the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the human race finds itself caught in an A?energy trap.A? Carbon-rich fossil fuelsa??coal, petroleum and natural gasa??are firmly entrenched as the dominant sources of our energy and power. Their highly concentrated forms, versatility of use, ease of transport and storage, ready availability, and comparatively low costs combine to give fossil fuels an unassailable competitive advantage over all alternative sources of energy. This economic reality means that fossil fuels will inevitably continue to be the backbone of the global economy for the next quarter of a century, even while the adverse climate and environmental effects of our dependence on fossil fuels hurtle toward global crisis levels. To avert unacceptable environmental consequences, the world must deliberately and incrementally supplant fossil fuels with alternative energy sources, on a schedule that will have them overtake fossil fuels in the world`s energy budget by 2035….

Beyond the Asian Crisis: Pathways to Sustainable Growth

Publisher: —
Description: As Southeast and Northeast Asia recover from the Asian crisis and return to a state of growth, the authors of this book assess the lessons to be learned from the crisis to achieve sustainable development in the future. While the importance of each factorcontributing to the crisis varies from country to country, their collective experience has created unprecedented turmoil in current thinking on development policy. The authors argue that the major schools of thought need paradigm changes in the wake of the crisis. Those who believe that a ?strong state? or system of semi-democracy is essential for economic growth have been disproved by the sudden collapse of these economies. These countries must now adapt to the fact that society must be open to ideas and democratize its polity to achieve innovation-driven sustainable development. Those who used the success of East Asian economies as a vindication of the neo-classical orthodoxy, referred to as the ?Washington… [detailed...]

Beyond the Bottom Line: The Search for Dignity at Work

Publisher: —
Description: Why do so many Americans-working harder and longer and with less security than ever before-question the price of success demanded by today`s hot-wired economy? Can you work and still have a life? Paula Rayman says, is yes. In this timely book, she offersa powerful blueprint for transforming the world of work, family, and community that is the downside of our relentlessly competitive culture. In this much-needed wake-up call to corporate America, Rayman shows why companies must go beyond the bottom line to survive and thrive. Drawing on her experience as a leading advocate for a more responsive workplace, she demonstrates how companies can organize for profit, productivity, and the desire of workers for a more rewarding quality of life. In a win-win agenda for changing outmoded organizations, she demonstrates convincingly that all successful transformations create workplaces that respect the need for dignity: security, self-respect, and the time and freedom to care for family… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Winner of the 1992 Great Lakes History Prize, Cradle to Grave: Life, Work, and Death at the Lake Superior Copper Mines (OUP 1991) related the history of the copper mining industry along Upper Michigan`s Keweenaw Peninsula. A companion volume to Cradle toGrave, Beyond the Boundaries focuses on the settlement of this region between 1840 and 1875. While Cradle to Grave was concerned with the rise and fall of the industry itself, Beyond the Boundaries examines everyday life on the mining frontier and explores how pioneers transformed a wilderness into a industrial landscape and society. Beyond the Boundaries tells the story of `reluctant pioneers` who attempted to establish a decent measure of comfort, control, and security in what was in many ways a hostile environment. It is essentially a book about men, women, children, and families - not just their workplaces, but their homes, stores, churches, schools, hospitals, and other aspects of community life.

From voting practices on American Idol and text-messaging on Degrassi, to online forums for connecting with other Buffy the Vampire fans and `Save-the-Show` write-in campaigns aimed at television execs, the power of the Internet has fundamentally altered television viewing. Americans no longer just watch TV, they participate in, lobby for, respond and relate to favorite shows and characters in an entirely new --indeed, unprecedented -- way. Once the domain of cult TV alone --think `trekkies` and `Xena Warrior Princess` devotees -- tele-participation has now gone mainstream. Sharon Ross probes how the Internet`s development has altered how television is made and consumed. She offers a fresh and innovative perspective that focuses on the shift in audience experience and how it has blurred the lines of established boundaries.

Beyond the Broker State: Federal Policies toward Small Business, 1936-1961

Publisher: —
Description: Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln both considered small business the backbone of American democracy and free enterprise. In Beyond the Broker State , Jonathan Bean considers the impact of this ideology on American politics from the Great Depression to the creation of the Small Business Administration during the Eisenhower administration. Bean`s analysis of public policy toward small business during this period challenges the long-accepted definition of politics as the interplay of organized interest groups, mediated by a `broker-state` government. Specifically, he highlights the unorganized nature of the small business community and the ideological appeal that small business held for key members of Congress. Bean focuses on anti-chain-store legislation beginning in the 1930s and on the establishment of federal small business agencies in the 1940s and 1950s. According to Bean, Congress, inspired by the rhetoric of crisis, often misinterpreted or misrepresented the… [detailed...]
