TY - GEN A1 - Frank, Cornelia T1 - Aufstieg und Transformation eines Gewaltakteurs : die Befreiungsarmee des Kosovo (UÇK) T1 - Rise and change of a violent actor : the Kosovo Liberation Army (UÇK) N2 - Following an interpretive sociological approach, the article analyses the rise and transformation of the UÇK in terms of social order and the resulting implications for a solution of the Kosovo status question. Combining Elias’ concept of society with Bourdieu’s categories of capital, the development of the UÇK can be “understood” from an interpretive point of view. In the social space of war, the UÇK rose as a result of increasing capital. As the war ended, the UÇK fell apart because it was unable to accomplish the indispensable functions of any social order.

Security experts see the first as the paramount problem, but regard the second as a mere potential security risk. Latin America’s specific conditions allow limited options for containing non-military threats. Should actors and instruments for containing crime and terrorism be organized on a subregional level, in the Latin American or in the Inter-American context? The author documents promising subregional approaches, especially in the extended Mercosur.

N2 - The author argues that growth determines employment and not the other way around. He opposes the widespread view among German economists that more employment generated by wage cuts or increased labour market flexibility will stimulate growth. For him, this view relies on theoretical prejudices that have to be rejected in light of some recent, simple evidence. The fact that all cyclical rebounds during the 1990s have been cut short by restrictive monetary policy explains the inability of the German labour market to regain full employment.

The author considers this kind of policy to release positive, but merely short-term effects. In the long run, he argues, government measures such as the deregulation of the labour market are necessary strategies for long-term growth.

By law, low-paid jobs shall be introduced. However, even if this creates employment, there will be a future problem: pensions for these people will dramatically drop below the poverty line. The author argues that, in order to avoid such ‘poverty-traps’, an alternative social support system should be considered: a ‘tax transfer system’ with lowered income tax, yet complete reduction of legal exceptions on the one hand, and transfer systems combined with work incentives on the other hand.

T1 - The EU employment strategy : Effective and democratic? N2 - The European Employment Strategy (EES) belongs to the European Union’s „softer“, legally non-binding policy instruments. Many politicians and academics associated its introduction with the expectation for a strengthening of the EU’s social dimension and democratic quality. This article examines whether, so far, the EES can be regarded as effective and legitimate. To illustrate this, the author briefly examines the role of the EES for the development of labour market policy in Germany and the UK.

While shareholder systems are relatively unaffected by globalization pressures, the burden of adjustment rests primarily on stakeholder systems, owing to their dominant non-market forms of coordination. Convergence theory therefore expects a transformation of stakeholder systems towards shareholder systems, whereas the ‘hybridization thesis’ argues for a combination of elements from shareholder and stakeholder systems as a result of globalization. The ‘Varieties of Capitalism’ approach expects stability in corporate governance systems and a continuation of differences between them.

Taking into account language difficulties, the ideological background of ultra- nationalism and internal disputes, the analysis shows that the radical right-wing transnational networking has hardly developed. Additionally, its internet users’ potential is too low to contribute to a stronger trans-national alignment. The obstacles remain despite improved technological possibilities. This is proven by empirical examples of virtual trans-national networks.

While most scholarship focuses on describing the causes, mechanisms and consequences of social change in the postcommunist area, this article tries to reflect theoretically on system transformation, using the Polish case as an example.

In the first part, the paper highlights the borderline between security studies and international political economy. The second part of the paper asks how successful the international community is in this fight. The authors show that the idea of seizing terrorist funds and denying access to the international financial system is not a very promising one. They conclude that, so far, results have been mixed and that only a political approach to the problem promises a solution.

Rarely before could an American president rely on a majority in both houses of the Congress. Consequently, Bush has ever since his re-election conveyed the impression that he is committed to follow the paths he had taken during his first term at home and in international affairs without any concessions. Therefore, also his new initiatives towards Europe seem to be aimed only to improve the transatlantic atmosphere but not to develop a more cooperative American foreign policy.

The article examines if and how the topics of the new emerging political public on the web differ from the topics generated by traditional media. The empirical analysis reveals that the topics are mostly the same. However, the analysis also shows that a clear separate public sphere exists that deals with topics outside the political mainstream.

Jedoch bleibt das grundsätzliche Verhältnis zwischen Arbeit und Politik weiterhin unbestimmt. Unsere Autoren beschäftigen sich mit ökonomischen Spielräumen und ungenutzten Handlungsoptionen. Sie wagen hierbei den Blick über den deutschen Tellerrand und suchen gezielt die europäische Perspektive. Im Eröffnungsbeitrag diskutiert Peter Ulrich nicht nur Fragen zur Effizienz, sondern zu einem gerechten Arbeitsmarktes und sinnvollen Arbeitsformen. Am Beispiel der Internetökonomie diskutieren Raphael Menez, Josef Schmid und Stefanie Springer das Spannungsfeld zwischen Arbeitspolitik und industriellen Beziehungen. Wie sich Arbeitspolitik mit all ihren Dilemmata auf der europäischen Bühne konkret abspielt, zeigen Milena Büchs, Kilian Kindelberger und Annerose Poleschner in ihren Artikeln exemplarisch auf. Unter welchen Bedingungen finden Investitionswettbewerb und Sozialpolitik in der „Ära nach Hartz“ statt? Diesen Fragen gehen Britta Rehder, Christine Trampusch und Klaus Deimer nach.

Doch südlich des Rio Grande steht die Zeit nicht still – ganz im Gegenteil! Hier sind Prozesse im Gange, die oft einmalig, manchmal auch wegweisend sind, jedoch stets zum Nachdenken anregen. Die sehr verschiedenen Rollen, die das Militär in den politischen Systemen dieser Länder gespielt hat und heute spielt, wird von lateinamerikanischen und deutschen Autoren diskutiert. Dabei geht es um regionale Sicherheit im 21. Jahrhundert, aber auch um differenzierte Blicke in die Geschichte. Statistiken bieten einen guten Überblick über das Militärische, und Buchbesprechungen zum Politischen runden den Schwerpunkt dieses Winterheftes ab. Streitplatz: Rot-Grün ist beendet, Bilanz wird gezogen. Dies nicht nur bei den Finanzen, sondern auch in der Außenpolitik. Wie fällt diese im Kapitel „Ostpolitik“ aus? Die Antworten werden sicherlich kontrovers sein. Schwarz-Rot hat begonnen. Auch für die neue Regierung wird das Verhältnis zu den östlichen Nachbarn zur einer Herausforderung, gleich ob zu Prag, Warschau, Kiew oder Moskau. Wie diese Beziehungen gestaltet werden sollen, ist auch umstritten. Jochen Franzke bilanziert kritisch die Ostpolitik der letzten Jahre und plädiert für einen konzeptionellen Wechsel.
