How to Develop Confident Mathematicians in the Early Years - A Guide for Practitioners and Parents

Sofern von Gewerkschaften die Rede ist, geschieht dies in den Sozialwissenschaften überwiegend mit einer fatalistischen Note. Im postkorporativen Zeitalter scheint der Niedergang der Arbeitnehmerorganisationen vorprogrammiert. Ohne Negativszenarien ausschliessen zu können, fragt diese Studie nach "Strategic Choice". Ihr Gegenstand sind Forschungen zu innovativen Praktiken, die eine Erneuerung der Gewerkschaften einleiten könnten. Anregungen liefern vor allem die hierzulande noch kaum rezipierten Labour Revitalization Studies (LRS). Das Buch bietet einen Überblick über die umfangreiche internationale Forschungsliteratur. Diskutiert werden u.a. Arbeiten zu Organizing, Social Movement Unionism, Campaigning und Coalition Building.
