Industrial Development and the Social Fabric
In this timely collection of essays, leading American and German
scholars analyse immigrant incorporation into the welfare state
from a comparative economic, social, and political viewpoint by
applying data from the 1980s and 1990s. New insights are revealed
into how ethnic stratification and socioeconomic integration is
promoted by specific programs and other institutionalized policies
in education, labour markets, and welfare. This volume will be an
important resource not only to scholars and students in economics
and the social and political sciences, but also for professionals
in education, social work, journalism, politics, and community
groups.
American-German relations are in transition. A number of
explanations have been given for this fact: some focusing on the
personalities of politicians, some on political and attitudinal
disparities, still others pointing to disagreements about foreign
policy objectives since the end of the Cold War and 9/11. This
volume, written by American and German scholarly experts, while not
denying the relevance and validity of such explanations of the
transatlantic estrangement, address the extent, resilience, and the
causes of misconceptions, misunderstandings, and confrontations in
the transatlantic relationship as well as highlighting
commonalities and enduring ties between the U.S. and Germany. The
chapters analyze domestic and foreign policies, political cultures,
and compare trends in business relations, migration, culture,
education, journalism, law, and religion. The authors contend that
differences in political cultures, societal priorities, and
national interests are inevitable, perhaps even desirable and not
necessarily an obstacle to a continuous and mutually beneficial
exchange or even the development of a special relationship. But
first of all they need to be acknowledged, then understood, and
finally dealt with in an atmosphere of mutual trust recognizing
common ground. The book ends with suggestions about how to deal
with different interpretations and perceptions in order to reclaim
a strategic partnership for progressive changes in an increasingly
multipolar world.

including the reawakening of xenophobic hate crime, antisemitic
incidents, and racist violence. This book presents the most recent

analyze the degrees of antisemitism, xenophobia, remembrance, and
Holocaust knowledge in German public opinion; the groups and
organizations that propagate such prejudice and hate; and the

these phenomena.
