HOLDING THE SHOP TOGETHER: GERMAN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS IN THE POSTWAR ERA
Book ID/图书代码： 03360013B63138
English Summary/英文概要： Since the onset of the Great Recession, Germany’s economy has been praised for its superior performance, which has been reminiscent of the “economic miracle” of the 1950s and 1960s. Such acclaim is surprising because Germany’s economic institutions were widely dismissed as faulty just a decade ago. In Holding the Shop Together, Stephen J. Silvia examines the oscillations of the German economy across the entire postwar period through one of its most important components: the industrial relations system.
As Silvia shows in this wide-ranging and deeply informed account, the industrial relations system is strongest where the German economy is strongest and is responsible for many of the distinctive features of postwar German capitalism. It extends into the boardrooms, workplaces and government to a degree that is unimaginable in most other countries. Trends in German industrial relations, moreover, influence developments in the broader German economy and, frequently, industrial relations practice abroad. All these aspects make the German industrial relations regime an ideal focal point for developing a deeper understanding of the German economy as a whole.
Silvia begins by presenting the framework of the German industrial relations system—labor laws and the role of the state—and then analyzes its principal actors: trade unions and employers’ associations. He finds the framework sound but the actors in crisis because of membership losses. Silvia analyzes the reasons behind the losses and the innovative strategies German labor and management have developed in their efforts to reverse them. He concludes with a comprehensive picture and then considers the future of German industrial relations.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 经济大萧条出现以来，德国经济因其优秀的表现一直被称赞，这让人想起20世纪50年代和60年代的“经济奇迹”。能得到这种赞誉是令人惊讶的，因为仅仅在十年前德国的经济机构一直被当成故障。在《共同控股商店》中，史蒂芬•J•西尔维娅探索了在整个战后时期德国震荡的经济，其最重要的组成部分之一是劳资关系制度。
就像西尔维娅深入而广泛展示的那样，劳资关系系统是德国经济最强的所在，主导战后德国资本主义的诸多鲜明特点。它在一定程度上延伸到会议室，工作场所和政府，这在其他大多数国家是无法想象的。此外，在德国工业关系的发展趋势中它影响德国经济更广泛的发展，很快劳资关系的做法在国外流行起来。所有这些方面都使德国的劳资关系制度成为一个理想焦点来对德国经济在整体上有更深入的了解。
西尔维娅通过此顺序介绍，德国劳资关系制度的框架——劳动法和国家的作用——然后分析其主要角色：工会和雇主协会。他发现了框架的声音，但是由于会员的损失，工会和雇主协会处在危机中。西尔维娅分析了损失背后的原因，德国劳工的创新战略，以及他们努力发展的来扭转局面的管理模式。他用全面的了解得出了结论，然后考虑了未来的德国工业关系。(LNL)
