ATTENTION: This course is primarily structured as a workshop for phd-students! Master students are welcome to join.
This course is intended to analyze new directions on work, job markets and technological impacts in the world and European contexts. Are recent trends of flexibility, segmentation, digitalization of work, etc., dismantling European social models of dialogue in the productive system? Does this mean the triumph of a new, enduring capitalist market? What impacts on global competitiveness can be expected for European economies? Is the growing individualization and precariousness of workers threatening social cohesion?
In concrete terms, the following topics will be discussed in the seminar:
- The European diversity of labour markets. North, Center and South: what specificities?
- Industrial sociology, history and social dialogue
- Work and labour relations; corporations and trade unions
- Models of productive regimes
- Enterprise cultures and industrial democracy
- State, technology and the market: impacts on economy
- NTIs and digital work and network corporations
- Globalization and labour fragmentation processes
