Corporatist Decline in Advanced Capitalism
Gobeyn presents the first book-length treatment of the declining significance of corporatist governance in advanced capitalism, linking that decline to international political economic forces. He contends that current patterns of conflict within corporatist political bargaining institutions in capitalist states can be traced to attitudinal shifts on the part of capitalists toward corporatist institutional arrangements. Business interests, it is argued, may no longer be viewing traditional practices of national corporatist action as either beneficial or necessary given recent changes in domestic and international economic environments. Recent state modifications to corporatist forms have therefore been initiated.
Austerity
Bryan M. Evans, Stephen McBride, and their contributors delve further into the more practical, ground-level side of the austerity equation in Austerity: The Lived Experience. Economically, austerity policies cannot be seen to work in the way elite interests claim that they do. Rather than soften the blow of the economic and financial crisis of 2008 for ordinary citizens, policies of austerity slow growth and lead to increased inequality. While political consent for such policies may have been achieved, it was reached amidst significant levels of disaffection and strong opposition to the extremes of austerity. The authors build their analysis in three sections, looking alternatively at theoretical and ideological dimensions of the lived experience of austerity; how austerity plays out in various public sector occupations and policy domains; and the class dimensions of austerity. The result is a ground-breaking contribution to the study of austerity politics and policies.

Beruf - Politik - Transparenz
Der Skandal um Nebentätigkeiten von Bundestagsabgeordneten im Jahr 2005 hat gezeigt, wie kritisch die Öffentlichkeit die Finanzierung der politischen Klasse beobachtet. Der Skandal führte zur Einführung von Transparenzregeln, die nicht nur vor dem Bundesverfassungsgericht diskutiert wurden. Stephan Malessa untersucht die Systemkonformität der Nebentätigkeiten-Regeln aus politikwissenschaftlicher Perspektive. Dabei analysiert er zunächst die Politikbezüge der veröffentlichten Nebentätigkeiten. Darüber hinaus überprüft er durch einen internationalen Vergleich den Zusammenhang zwischen der Professionalisierung von Parlamenten und der Schärfe der jeweiligen Transparenzregeln.
