Why trade unions should no longer rely on social democratic parties
No full textTrade unions have historically had close relationships with social democratic parties. But do these alliances remain beneficial? Philip Rathgeb argues that while unions still share common ground with social democratic parties, they may benefit from becoming more independent from party politics
The Eurozone poses challenges for labour at large – and not just for the ‘South’
No full textIn the aftermath of the sovereign debt crisis, trade unions in the Eurozone periphery suffered heavy defeats in policy-making, as governments implemented liberalising reforms against their opposition. Some scholars saw this as indicative of a chasm in the fortunes and interests of organised labour between the Eurozone’s northern core and southern periphery. However, as Philip Rathgeb and Arianna Tassinari explain, trade unions in core countries are not insulated from the risk of marginalisation. This, they argue, underscores the necessity for labour cooperation across the Eurozone rather than a reinforcement of North-South divides
Third-way à la française: what do Macron’s reforms involve and how likely are they to succeed?
No full textNow that Emmanuel Macron has won a large majority in the French parliament, there are few obstacles preventing him from implementing his ambitious reform agenda. But what exactly will Macron’s reforms involve and are they likely to be successful? Philip Rathgeb and Fabio Wolkenstein draw a parallel between Macron’s agenda and the ‘Third Way’ politics of Gerhard Schröder. But they suggest that the dynamics of the French economy and the large potential for social unrest over his planned labour market reforms may make Macron’s task far more challenging than that faced by his German counterpart
A long goodbye to the grand coalition: Austria’s presidential election
Get PDFFollowing the first round of Austria’s presidential election, Norbert Hofer of the Freedom Party (FPÖ) and the Green-affiliated independent candidate Alexander van der Bellen will contest the second round of voting on 22 May. However for the first time in the country’s post-war history, the next President will not be backed by either of Austria’s two traditionally dominant parties, the SPÖ and ÖVP. Philip Rathgeb and Fabio Wolkenstein write that the election marked a watershed moment for the country’s party system, suggesting that only a radical change of strategy can prevent the two mainstream parties from losing power at the next parliamentary elections

Motion and mobility in the realist novels of Philip K Dick
No full textThis essay explores the ways that ideas of motion and mobility support readings of Philip K Dick's early novels that take full account of the changing geographical context. They are set during a period of rapid suburban expansion, the building of the interstate and the spread of automobility through car ownership, and their characters frequently exist in a state between continuity through conformity and the potential for change. The open ended forms of the novels reflect a world around Dick that was still under construction, and where alternative realities can be glimpsed between incomplete materialities
