This book seeks to advance a more systematic analysis of the relationship between collective memory and the economy. It addresses the fields of memory studies where economic aspects are underexplored, and of economic history/political economy, where few scholars take collective memory seriously. Contributions employ different concepts, approaches, and methodologies to the study of collective memory, and they address a variety of specific empirical aspects, brought together under the broad theme of economic crises and transformations in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Taken together, the contributions highlight the role of memory narratives for the political management of economic transformations, as well as their significance for longer-term social and cultural change.

Der Grundriss stellt den als unabdingbar angesehenen Fundus europarechtlicher Kenntnisse vor, der heute von einem Juristen, der sich der europäischen Konkurrenz stellen muss, im Pflichtfach "Grundzüge des Europarechts" verlangt wird. Im Vordergrund stehen die in der juristischen Prüfung und Praxis mittlerweile alltäglich gewordenen Fragen des Europarechts. Zahlreiche praxisbezogene Beispielsfälle runden die Darstellung ab.

Paradoxes of internationalization deals with British and German trade union responses to the internationalization of corporate structures and strategies at Ford and General Motors between the late 1960s and the early twenty-first century. The book is based on research in numerous archives in Britain, Germany and the United States.The book points to the paradoxical effects of internationalization processes. First, it demonstrates how internationalization reinforced trade unions’ national identities and allegiances. Second, the book highlights that internationalization made domestic trade union practices more similar in some respects, while it simultaneously contributed to the re-creation of diversity between and within the two countries. Third, the book shows that investment competition was paradoxically the most important precondition for the emergence of cross-border cooperation initiatives.The book will be of interest to academics and students in a range of disciplines from comparative industrial relations, to international political economy, business studies and transnational history.
