War and Peace

These two workshops in 2001 discussed the tension between state sovereignty and the image of a universal order transcending state borders that has been a constant of international relations in Europe, oscillating between peace and war. They also reflected on the legitimacy of military interventions in the name of an international community whose future legal status and structures are still indeterminate.

The Transformation of the Idea of a Full Employment to a Flexibility Discourse in European Comparison

This project studied the dissolution of the full employment convention in the 1990s. The approach was centred on the conceptual and interpretive adjustment of societies in Europe to the dramatic structural changes taking place in the labour market since the 1970s. Questions dealt with how the historical and cultural heritage of the full employment convention has played in different national settings. Additionally, the redefinition of the obligations of the state, employer organisations and trade unions were examined.
