The engines that drive this intensive port industry are the 'naties'. These age-old corporations have survived all the political, social and economic turbulence that history has brought their way. Their inborn flexibility has always enabled them to adapt to the most radical changes. They have cut steadfastly through the turbulence of the economic recession and, despite the general decline of the European ports, they continue to invest, with a firm belief in the future. No one who drives through the port can fail to remark their ubiquitousness on all the quays, in all the distribution zones, and at all the terminals. The Association of Cargo Handlers is delighted with the excellent research carried out by the Authors. Their quest has taken them to the very roots of the Antwerp nations and revealed an undreamt-of quantity of interesting material. We hope that the reader will derive great pleasure from the book and that this historical document will impart much about the mysterious, rich and fascinating lives of the Antwerp nations."

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This book aims at deepening our understanding of concrete, topical developments in the growth of social partnership economies. Inspired by the theory of ¿policy learning¿, it discusses the impact of potential triggers, such as wars and economic crises, on the development of consultative arrangements, questioning how policy adjustments came about and what exactly made them possible. What is the space for policy learning in institutional environments that are notorious for immobility and path-dependency Different national case studies analyse the origins and development of different social practices and relations between the state and social partners with regard to the organisation of the economy and the labour market within Western Europe. Special emphasis is given to Belgium, the «quintessential European state», and to the Netherlands, the home of the illustrious «polder model» in the 1990s. Several studies highlight the role of social pacts and planning as expressions of effective social partnerships. 270 pp. Englisch.
