This volume represents the beginning of a 'cross pollination' of
different social scientific disciplines, bridging the boundaries
between national and disciplinary epistemic communities in the
worlds of European welfare markets. It maps the common ground and
uncovers new research directions for the future study of actors,
policies and institutions shaping the growth and dynamics of
European welfare markets. The book defines welfare markets as
politically shaped, regulated and state supported markets that
provide social goods and services through the competitive
activities of non-state actors. The chapters focus on what happens
after states have initiated welfare markets, with equal weight
given to the analysis of the agency of state actors and non-state
actors in the contraction, stabilisation, and disruption of welfare
markets. By focusing the analysis on two cases of welfare markets,
private pensions and home-based domestic/care work, the
contributions explore and compare the dynamics of different types
of markets. The research will be of use to sociologists and
scholars of social policy interested in the social dimension of
welfare markets, political scientists and political economists, as
well as diverse epistemic communities across the social sciences.

Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. This book offers a
theory of trafficking and modern slavery with implications for
policy. Despite economic development, modern slavery persists all
around the world. The issue is not only one of crime but the
regulation of the economy, better welfare and social protections.
Going beyond polarised debates on the sex trade, an original
empirical analysis shows the importance of profit-taking. Although
individual experience matters, the root causes lie in intersecting
regimes of inequality of gender regimes, capitalism, and the
legacies of colonialism. This book shows the importance of coercion
and the societal complexities that perpetuate modern slavery.
Die Beitrage in diesem Band entwickeln eine neuartige Perspektive
auf Arbeit und Arbeitsmarkte, welche den nationalstaatlichen
Referenzrahmen uberschreitet. Drei Phanomene sind fur die
Transnationalisierung von Arbeit von besonderer Bedeutung: (1) die
grenzuberschreitende Mobilitat von Arbeitskraften, (2) die
grenzuberschreitende Mobilitat von Arbeitstatigkeiten und Wissen,
die teilweise, aber nicht zwangslaufig mit einer Verlagerung der
Produktionsstandorte verbunden ist, und (3) die Herausbildung
europaischer, transnationaler und globaler Institutionen, in welche
die grenzuberschreitende Mobilitat von Arbeitskraften,
Arbeitstatigkeiten und Wissen zunehmend eingebettet ist.
Dieses Buch vermittelt ein umfassendes und differenziertes Bild der
Weltwirtschaftsmacht Japan aus einer modernen
sozialwissenschaftlichen Perspektive. Es fuhrt einerseits in die
grundlegenden Strukturen und Entwicklungen in Wirtschaft,
Gesellschaft und Politik ein und bietet somit die entscheidenden
Grundinformationen zum Verstandnis des Landes. Andererseits
analysiert es den raschen Wandel und diskutiert die drangenden
aktuellen Probleme, denen sich Japan in all diesen Bereichen
gegenubersieht. Der moderne wirtschaftswissenschaftliche,
politikwissenschaftliche und soziologische Zugang zwingt uns, unser
traditionelles, manchmal auch exotisches Japanbild in Frage zu
stellen. Auch in der zweiten Auflage bietet dieses Standardwerk
somit die unentbehrliche Grundlage fur Studium, Forschung und
Beruf.
