The current phenomenon of putting industrial labour into the museum (,,Musealisierung") raises the question if, by doing so, society is trying to democrazise history, or if the founding of labour museums is a significant strategy of post-industrial societies to eliminate traditional forms of labour and the tasks of the working class. By confronting some recent theories on the past and future of industrial work with the presentation of labour history in the "Museum Industrielle Arbeitswelt" in Steyr, Upper Austria, the author figures out, that "Musealisierung" of labour means to set up a great monument in honour of traditional labour instead of changing the paradigm as it is shown in recent works on the social history approach. The more industrial work pa.sses over to a numerically controlled process, the more it is necessary to concentrate on the social, political, and mental implications of machinery and technology. The museums of the world of labour (and to a large extent of labour history) focus their narrative structure on the "theology of emancipation" by machinery and technology as a guarantee of prosperity and self-education of the working-class. The experience of the last two decades has shown that the logic of economy and of production is not only in contradiction to this basic values of the labour movement, but gets more and more into conflict with its social and ethical aims. ; The current phenomenon of putting industrial labour into the museum (,,Musealisierung") raises the question if, by doing so, society is trying to democrazise history, or if the founding of labour museums is a significant strategy of post-industrial societies to eliminate traditional forms of labour and the tasks of the working class.

This article is the first overview on the recent history of labour migration in Tyrol. Primary sources are very scattered, and hardly any relevant publications exist to present; the standard textbooks on the history of Tyrol feature migration as a marginal topic or they ignore it completely. Only in recent years the Department of Contemporary History at the University of Innsbruck has engaged in the study of migration history of Austria and Tyrol, but so far this has produced mostly academic dissertations on the topic. During the post-war era until 1960, labour migration was not a subject of public perception. The dominating migration issues concerned displaced persons in general and refugees and displaced ethnic Germans in particular. Between the 1960s and the 1970s, the focus changed due to the increased influx of labour migrants from former Yugoslavia and Turkey, with a first peak at the beginning of the 1970s. The 'oil crisis' in 1973/74, followed by the 1975 Foreign Employment Act, was a turning point which initiated a phase of depletion and stagnation in the employment of foreign workers until 1988. This watershed also marked the slow transition from the guest worker system to the integration system of migration policy, which lasted for approximately two decades. This shift was defined most significantly during the era of Alfred Dallinger as the Federal Minister of Social Affairs, who initiated – however limited – integration policies in the mid-1980s. Behind the back of politicians and social partners, Austria became a country of immigration, a trend that had been ignored by decision-makers in Austria and Tyrol for a long time. The social consequences of the absence of an active and appreciative policy towards the new resident migrant population became apparent. These people could not be reduced to the function of a disposable labour pool as intended in the recruitment treaties of the 1960s, but they actively strived to establish themselves in Austria. The policy makers in Tyrol responded only after the turn of the millennium, – faster than those of other provinces, but in many respects less comprehensively. ; This article is the first overview on the recent history of labour migration in Tyrol.

Klappentext: Das Konzept des räumlich-territorialen abgegrenzten Nationalstaats unterliegt einem tief greifenden Wandel. Grenzen werden zunehmend durchlässiger, Verflechtungen spielen eine immer wichtigere Rolle. Zentrale Bedeutung kommt in diesem Zusammenhang Netzwerken als Triebkräften des transnationalen Transfers von Ideen, Meinungsbildungsprozessen und Lebensstilen zu. Diese Netzwerke begründen zugleich Einfluss- und Machtstrukturen. Netzwerke sind in ganz unterschiedlichen Erscheinungsformen - von lockeren Kontakten bis zu formalisierten Kooperationsstrukturen - organisiert. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes beleuchten die grundlegende Bedeutung von Netzwerken und von transnationalen Interaktionsprozessen in der Geschichte und zeigen exemplarisch konkrete Ausdrucksformen. Neben der Arbeiterbewegung wird dabei Wissens-, Protest-, normativen und Netzwerken der globalen politischen Ökonomie besonderes Augenmerk gewidmet.

The history of the International Labour Office (ILO) is sketched from its founding in 1919, through its integration into the UN bureaucracy in 1946, to the present. Its ability to set standards for labor policy is reviewed, & the importance of its input in the development of UN development objectives canvassed. Such input has resulted in, eg, an increasing awareness of the need for socially & ecologically sustainable development. The influence of ILO findings & recommendations on other agencies of the UN is noted, & its special contribution of a "social component" to various policies emphasized. Adapted from the source document.

Ausgehend von der "Labour-Process-Debate" der 1970er Jahre und den grundlegenden Charakteristika Sozialer Arbeit als Dienstleitung, diskutiert der Artikel von Christof Beckmann die Gefahren einer Taylorisierung und De-Professionalisierung der Sozialen Arbeit. Die Inkorporation sozialpädagogischer Wissensbestände in Programme der Planung, Dokumentation und Steuerung der professionellen Handlungsvollzüge haben das Potential professionelle Organisationskulturen zu kolonialisieren und so einer managementorientierten Kontrolle zugänglich zu machen.

Bislang trotzt der deutsche Arbeitsmarkt dem wirtschaftlichen Einbruch im Gefolge der globalen Finanzkrise ebenso wie den ökonomischen Verwerfungen durch die Eurokrise. Im Unterschied zu anderen europäischen Ländern sinkt hierzulande die Arbeitslosigkeit im Trend und die Beschäftigung wächst. Was sind die Ursachen? Welche Rolle spielten die Arbeitsmarktreformen und das Krisenmanagement nach dem Lehman-Crash? Inwieweit ist der Job-Boom einer Expansion atypischer Beschäftigungsverhältnisse geschuldet? Das "Handbuch Arbeitsmarkt 2013" bietet eine umfassende Bestandsaufnahme des deutschen Arbeitsmarktes. Es skizziert die Entwicklung seit 2006, analysiert die kurz- und langfristigen Perspektiven und fasst arbeitsmarktrelevante Entscheidungen der Politik in einer detaillierten Chronik zusammen. Umfassend widmet sich der Band zwei aktuellen und zentralen Themen: * den Übergängen in Beschäftigung und deren Bedeutung für die Qualität der Arbeit sowie * den Folgen des jüngsten wirtschaftlichen Aufschwungs und des künftigen Rückgangs des Arbeitskräfteangebots für den Fachkräftebedarf Ein ausführliches Register erlaubt die Suche nach wichtigen Stichworten. Der Datenanhang auf CD-ROM enthält umfangreiche und zum Teil international vergleichende Daten zu zentralen Indikatoren des deutschen Arbeitsmarktes, einschließlich aktueller Kennziffern zur sozialen Grundsicherung. Er ist auch im Internet zum kostenlosen Download verfügbar. Mehr zum "Handbuch Arbeitsmarkt 2013" finden Sie unter www.iab.de/hb2013.
