Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German speaking chambers have existed longer than most of their contemporary institutions in the modern European world, many of which tend to be more high profile and attract more attention. Why is this? What do these disparate and in some cases unique, institutions of occupational interest representation do, what influences do they exert and what influences bear upon them? Are they now necessary for the purposes for which they were designed? Are they essential for the promotion of those whose interests they represent, or are they an extravagance which can no longer be afforded in a changing world? Will they survive the economic and social challenges of the twenty-first century? In answer to these questions this monograph offers a short survey and a comparative, critical analysis of a specific genus of chambers in the countries of Europe, where, till now, they have had a relatively healthy and stable existence. These democratic institutions are examined with respect to their origins, workings, their differential public and private character and their contributions to their respective societies. As a concrete, empirical study, space is devoted to the description and analysis of many of their current problems, including those which relate to their democratic nature. The lesser known chambers of labour and of agriculture are highlighted for function and status and they too are the subject of hypothesis and future development.

Download or read book The German Chambers of Commerce and Industry written by Eberhard Sasse and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book examines a particular factor in the enduring international success of German companies. Beyond industrial specialization, peaceful labor relations, local financial markets and the "miracle of the Mittelstand", it focuses on a characteristic aspect of governance within the German economy: The Chambers of commerce and industry. Important characteristics of the Chamber system are emphasized - including obligatory membership for firms as well as participatory rules of their self-administration. In turn, the book examines the institution's self-governance, its services, and its mission regarding the general representation of interests. Moreover, the book also identifies the advancement of the dual system of professional education as a central element of the Chamber system. Following an introduction about how the Chamber system works, interviews, case studies and historical explanations help to exemplify the true spirit inherent to this form of representation. In particular, they reveal the essence of how the Chambers contribute to the global success of German companies and foster their corporate responsibility in a practical way. Given its scope, the book will be of particular interest to professionals, policymakers and researchers concerned with how institutional organization can support commerce and industry for the public good. The book was developed in collaboration with Laura Sasse and the Practical Wisdom Society.--
Download or read book The Position of the German Language in the World written by Ulrich Ammon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Position of the German Language in the World focuses on the global position of German and the factors which work towards sustaining its use and utility for international communication. From the perspective of the global language constellation, the detailed data analysis of this substantial research project depicts German as an example of a second-rank language. The book also provides a model for analysis and description of international languages other than English. It offers a framework for strengthening the position of languages such as Arabic, Chinese, French, Portuguese, Spanish and others and for countering exaggerated claims about the global monopoly position of English. This comprehensive handbook of the state of the German language in the world was originally published in 2015 by Walter de Gruyter in German and has been critically acclaimed. Suitable for scholars and researchers of the German language, the handbook shows in detail how intricately and thoroughly German and other second-rank languages are tied up with a great number of societies and how these statistics support or weaken the languages’ functions and maintenance.

Download or read book Intellectuals and their Publics written by Christian Fleck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do intellectuals engage with and affect their publics? What is the role of the public intellectual in the new age of political uncertainties? What challenges face female intellectuals and those speaking from an ethnic, national or class position? This exciting collection responds to these questions by offering a broad-ranging account of the changing role of intellectuals in public life. The volume opens with provocative essays on the idea and role of the public intellectual from Alexander, Evans and Zulaika. Chapters from Rabinbach on intellectuals' responses to totalitarianism, Outhwaite on what it means to be a European intellectual, and Auer’s discussion of the dissident intellectual in the collapse of communism lead onto vigorous debate of earlier points discussed through specific intellectual case studies from Tocqueville to Hayek. Intellectuals and their Publics will attract a broad readership interested in the role of the intellectual, with particular appeal for sociologists, political theorists and historians of ideas.

Download or read book English in Business and Commerce written by Tamah Sherman and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-05-07 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume fills an important gap in exploring English in the domains of business and commerce through the prism of sociolinguistics and the sociology of language, as opposed to analyzing business genres or taking a linguodidactic approach. It expands the regional coverage of English in Europe, with several studies based in Central Europe, and also considers contexts which interact with Europe even though they are physically outside of it (Asia, Africa). It addresses English as just one of several languages at play in the ecology of the countries. It focuses not only on the position of languages as declared in documents of various organizations, that is, language policy, but also everyday linguistic practices as observed in business contexts, that is, interactions. The studies are divided into three thematic areas: ideologies and discourses on English in the business sphere, the management of English in business and organizational contexts, and English and other languages on local and international labor markets. It will be of interest to readers concerned with multilingualism in the economic sphere and the workplace and the interplay between macro and micro levels during the management of communication in organizations.
