This handbook provides a unique opportunity to bring together
several different strings of debates, especially useful to the
growing focus on responsibility which increasingly demands
interdisciplinary approaches. It focuses on practices and
normativity in ways that are often overlooked by a focus on
accountability. It highlights the contested meaning of
responsibility. In addition to its academic purpose, it may also
prove of interest to policy-makers, think tanks, policy research
institutes.

Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland war bis in die 70er Jahre hinein
eine traditionelle Vollbeschaftigungsgesellschaft. Vor allem die
Gewerkschaften verknupften ihre politischen Strategien eng mit
diesem Vollbeschaftigungsmodell. Sie sind daher stark von den
Auflosungstendenzen der traditionellen
Vollbeschaftigungsgesellschaft betroffen. Das Buch beschreibt
zunachst die sozialen, okonomischen und politischen
Wandlungsprozesse und analysiert anschliessend die Auswirkungen auf
die Gewerkschaften ebenso wie deren Reaktionen. Die Gewerkschaften
- so lasst sich zeigen - sind politikfahig. Weitere riskante
Anpassungsstrategien sind jedoch notwendig, um den Wandel bestehen
zu konnen.
As pillars of the post-1945 international economic system, the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank are central to
global economic policy debates. This book examines policy change at
the IMF and the World Bank, providing a constructivist account of
how and why they take up ideas and translate them into policy,
creating what we call policy norms'. The authors compare processes
of policy emergence and change and, using archival and interview
data, analyse nine policy areas including gender, debt relief, and
tax and pension reform. Each chapter traces the policy norm process
in order to shed light on the main sources and mechanisms for norm
change within international organisations. Owning Development
details the strength of these policy norms which emerge, then
either stabilise or decline. The book establishes valuable insights
into the strength of current development policies propounded by
international organisations and the possibility for change."
The concept of responsibility has emerged as central to the study
of international politics. This book explores the integral role of
responsibility within the context of global crises such as the
responsibility to address climate change, manage financial crises,
and intervene with political conflicts. Vetterlein and
Hansen-Magnusson address responsibility as a conceptual tool in its
own right, existing at the intersection of accountability and
legitimacy and spanning across governance sectors of the
environment, business, and security. This practice-based approach
to the study of responsibility maps similarities and difference
across policy fields and reveals the diverse moral actors
responsible for negotiating responsibility. The emergence of
responsibility further implicates underlying moral values and
policy-making within the context of global politics. The Rise of
Responsibility in World Politics addresses not only individual
agency, but also how questions of community play a role in broader
negotiations around the meaning of responsibility.
