Peter Ulrich – författare

Integrative Economic Ethics is a highly original work that progresses through a series of rational and philosophical arguments to address foundational issues concerning the relationship between ethics and the market economy. Rather than accepting market competition as a driver of ethical behaviour, the author shows that modern economies need to develop ethical principles that guide market competition, thus moving business ethics into the realms of political theory and civic rationality. This book was in its fourth edition in the original German in 2008, this English translation of Peter Ulrich's development of a fresh integrative approach to economic ethics will be of interest to all scholars and advanced students of business ethics, economics, and social and political philosophy.

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as private business since business activities have widespread and sometimes far-reaching impacts on the community. The side-effects of entrepreneurial decision making - increasing unemployment, for instance, or pollution - expose corporations to the public gaze, with management in the limelight. This work opens up new vistas on business policy and corporate communications facing public interest. The relationship between private enterprise and public interest is subjected to an ethical examination, highlighting the role of the general public as a locus of morality for business and the guiding concept of a corporate dialogue between management and the concerned public. Instructive case studies are also presented.

Ulrich thinks he got the ultimate fan trip-to play, record, and tour with his favourite band, Dead Can Dance. His memoir details the early days, from signing with 4AD, recording their first album, then heading off on tour with the Cocteau Twins. There follow insights into the legendary period of the 4AD label of the 1980s; contributing to This Mortal Coil; guesting with Wolfgang Press, Pieter Nooten and Michael Brook, and Modern English; and touring the US for the first time in 1990. Following his departure from DCD, Ulrich remained close with Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard, and his memoir tracks their parallel paths over the following decades. A must for fans of Dead Can Dance and the 4AD label, and at the same time, a fascinating slalom through the ups and downs of trying to pursue a vision through the music industry.

Vernunft, Fortschritt, Freiheit - unter diesen drei Leitideen steht die Moderne. Doch unter der Doktrin eines moralisch enthemmten und institutionell entfesselten Kapitalismus ist Vernunft auf Effizienz, Fortschritt auf Wirtschaftswachstum und die Freiheit der Bürger auf den «freien Markt» verkürzt worden. Rücksichtslose Gewinnmaximierung und maßlose Managergehälter einerseits, prekäre Lebenslagen für die Schwächeren, ausufernde Staatsverschuldung und Umweltzerstörung andererseits sind die Folgen. Das Verhältnis zwischen Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft ist krisenhaft geworden, weil wir unser Leben und Zusammenleben allzu sehr den «Sachzwängen» der Marktlogik unterworfen haben. Hinter den meisten Sachzwängen stecken jedoch ideologische Denkzwänge. Eine umfassende wirtschaftsethische Neuorientierung tut Not.Der Autor zeigt, wie die Marktwirtschaft in eine moderne Bürgergesellschaft eingebunden, also buchstäblich zivilisiert werden kann. Sein erhellender Entwurf weist den Bürgern, den Unternehmen und der Politik je ihre konkrete Verantwortung zu.

Grenzüberschreitende Verbindungen werden in der Europäischen Union dichter und intensiver. Die national organisierten und ausgerichteten Angebote der öffentlichen Daseinsvorsorge kommen an ihre Grenzen. Der Band führt in das innovative Konzept der grenzüberschreitenden Daseinsvorsorge ein und bietet eine theoretisch fundierte Grundlage für die Analyse von Stand und Entwicklungsperspektiven grenzüberschreitender Angebote der Daseinsvorsorge. Das Buch versammelt Beiträge mit konzeptionellen Überlegungen sowie empirischen Analysen der Praxis grenzüberschreitender Kooperationen in den Daseinsvorsorgebereichen Mobilität, Gesundheit, Bildung, Katastrophenschutz, Energiekooperation, Wärmeversorgung, Raumplanung und Grenzmobilitätsberatung. Die transdisziplinäre Ausrichtung des Bandes befördert den intra- und interregionalen Dialog zur Gestaltung grenzüberschreitender Daseinsvorsorge und bietet Impulse für Lern- und Transferprozesse in und zwischen europäischen Verflechtungsräumen.

Die politikwissenschaftlich informierte Studie untersucht geopolitische und soziokulturelle Grenzziehungsprozesse im "Europa der Grenzregionen" und den Einfluss auf zivilgesellschaftliche Partizipation und Governance in nationalen Peripherien. Mit einer ausgeprägteren bürgerschaftlichen Beteiligung an euroregionalen Institutionen und Politik wird die normative Hoffnung einer Demokratisierung und Legitimation europäischer Politik in EU-Grenzregionen verknüpft. Am Beispiel der EU-Rechtsform des Europäischen Verbunds für territoriale Zusammenarbeit werden die euroregionalen Institutionen Europaregion Tirol-Südtirol-Trentino, Galizien-Nordportugal, Eurodistrikt SaarMoselle und TransOderana tiefgründig analysiert und miteinander verglichen.

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as private business since business activities have widespread and sometimes far-reaching impacts on the community. The side-effects of entrepreneurial decision making - increasing unemployment, for instance, or pollution - increasingly expose corporations to the public gaze, with management in the limelight. Facing Public Interest opens up new vistas on business policy and corporate communications facing public interest. The relationship between private enterprise and public interest is subjected to an ethical examination, highlighting the role of the general public as a locus of morality for business and the guiding concept of a corporate dialogue between management and the concerned public. Instructive case studies are also presented. The volume not only proposes corporate dialogue: it puts into practice. Business leaders, representatives of citizens'' groups, public affairs consultants, and academics discuss the topics thoroughly and thoughtfully in the best contributions to the seventh conference on the European Business Ethics Network, held at the University of St. Gallen in September 1994.
