The Challenge of Globalization for Germany's Social Democracy

the long version

"Modell Deutschland," once admired worldwide, has lost much of its shine, due to a number of internal and external factors. This important and timely volume-deals with the economic and political pressures and challenges of globalization and is particularly concerned with their effect on social policy, labor markets, environmental policies, and technological change. Distinguished academic experts and leading politicians discuss these problems both from an international perspective and against the background of debates currently going on in Germany.
