Abstract

In Deutschland hat sich in den vergangenen 20 Jahren ein hohes Mass an Arbeitsmarktdifferenzierung nach Loehnen und Arbeitsvertraegen durchgesetzt. Die Beitraege dieses Sonderbands befassen sich mit betrieblichen, tarifpolitischen und staatlichen Ansaetzen der Gegensteuerung. Unser Essay stellt erstens die veraenderten Rahmenbedingungen der industriellen Beziehungen in Deutschland vor und erarbeitet zweitens einen ueberblick ueber die theoretischen Ansaetze und empirischen Ergebnisse der Aufsaetze. Sie unterscheiden sich in ihren sozialtheoretischen Grundannahmen ebenso wie in den Diagnosen und Prognosen: So konstatieren einige Beitraege eher stabilisierende Effekte der Regulierung auf die Ungleichheitsstruktur waehrend andere Nivellierungstendenzen und Gestaltungsoptionen fuer die Zukunft betonen. Unser Essay plaediert abschliessend fuer die Relevanz oekonomischer Kategorien in der Analyse industrieller Beziehungen. (In the last 20 years, the German labour market has developed a high degree of stratification with respect to income and wage contracts. The contributions to this special issue discuss approaches to counteract these tendencies at the micro-, meso- and macro-levels. Our essay firstly summarises the changing context for industrial relations and secondly develops an overview of the theoretical approaches and empirical findings presented in the articles in this volume. The articles differ with respect to their social-theoretical frameworks as well as their diagnoses and prognoses: some contributions claim stabilising effects on stratification while others emphasise levelling tendencies and options for change in the future. In our concluding remarks we argue in favour of strengthening economic categories in the analysis of industrial relations.)
