While Germany's employment relations are commonly seen as a high value added trust relationship built around the well publicised "new production concepts", this paper aims to show that there is also another side to Germany's ER. Using a detailed case study of the shipping industry, the authors show how the implementation of the International Ship Register during the late 1980s and 1990s challenged Germany's traditional system of employment relations and regulatory framework. The authors conclude that evidence from the shipping industry illustrates a strong departure from Germany's long‐established employment relations, where deregulation of shipping and labour law has led to the adoption of a "low road" approach.

By the end of 2018, Germany's secret service, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz) started composing a report on Germany's most notorious right-wing political party, the Alternative for Germany (AfD). In January 2019, one of the authors asked Germany's secret service to supply this report but was told "It's secret." On 28 January 2019, a short note even noted: "We will not send the document." On the very same day, Netzpolitik.org posted the entire report online—all 436 pages of it. Netzpolitik.org stated: "We make the report available because open debate is vital in a democracy… and because it destroys the AfD's fairy-tale of being a normal political party." In their introduction, Netzpolitik's Andre Meister, Anna Biselli, and Markus Reuter, who published the report, also emphasize: "We make the report available because the secret service believes 'parts of the AfD violate Germany's constitutional guarantee that human dignity is inviolable."' Netzpolitik.org is convinced that Germans have a right to know. Reading through the report one hardly finds evidence that would justify secrecy. Instead, it is a valid report written by a German state agency tasked with defending the Basic Law (Grundgesetz) concerning a political party.
