Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This course studies the development of labour markets and labour-market institutions in the context of globalization since the industrial revolution. We examine labour markets in a variety of geographic and economics settings, beginning with the market in the crucible of the British industrial revolution, continuing with developments in the successful economies of the New World, and through to the history of labour markets in developing regions of South America. Topics include the well-being of workers, broadly defined to encompass wages, working hours, labour regulations, and labour movements, and wage and income inequality. The course moves beyond the standard framework of comparative history to study the extent to which international trade operates as a conduit or pathway connecting labour markets across national frontiers in periods of low and high intensity globalization. The format of the course combines lectures and group discussion over seven meetings of three hours each.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
The course will be taught in English, although there are German translations for some of the readings materials selected. The materials for the course, books and articles, draw on recent contributions in social and economic history. Most materials for this course will be available in electronic format (pdf).
