Description and Table of Contents

Description

The decade of the nineties saw a rapidly changing political world, a sudden and severe change of political conditions for the state-dependent industries, sectors and regions and, consequently, increased research on and resuming of this unique experience. The international 2001 Bremen conference was a kind of comprehensive convention of all the relevant researchers, the trade unions and companies, other regional and national agents and their European networks - a central event to approach a comprehensive balance of the rich experience made. The present volume, therefore, represents settled experience, sector analyses, spatial and company case studies and perspectives for proactive change management in the coming decade. The conference brought to the fore not only recent alternative views from European and U.S. perspectives but also a clear message for all relevant agents to openly face and proactively address the structural challenges in the field in this decade. There is no justification for a reluctant or reactive approach to the issues of peace, disarmament and corresponding industrial and regional restructuring. The Present volume is a major source for an ongoing debate on the political and economic issues of peace, (dis-) armament, and related structural changes.
