The contributions to this volume are revised versions of papers presented at a conference held in July 1999 at the Hanse Institute for Advanced Study in Delmenhorst. This event was sponsored by the Hanse Institute for Advanced Study and the Hans Bockler Foundation. We are very grateful to both foundations not only for their financial support but also for their assistance in organising the conference. The Hans Bockler Foundation provided additional financial support for the editing of this volume, while the Hanse Institute for Advanced Study financed a native speaker for a linguistic revision; this support, too, is gratefully acknowledged. The linguistic revision was done by Susan Kutcher, who deserves many thanks for her accurate and very competent work through which the articles of the German and Swedish authors were improved substantially. Also, we are very grateful to Simone Greb for preparing this volume for publication in a professional manner by processing all contributions into a uniform format. Fi
