In the 1970s, the economic and social foundations of Western Europe underwent an unprecedented transformation. Old industries like coal and steel disappeared, millions of people lost their jobs and formerly flourishing towns and cities went into decline. Traditional political agendas gave way to new social problems and concerns. What happened to industrial citizens – their workplaces, their careers and their homes? How did social rights and political participation of workers change when markets became global, management lean and financial capital dominant? How did companies change and how were personal skills and work tasks reinvented under the impact of new technologies? How did workers – men and women – live through these decades of uncertainty and upheaval? Lutz Raphael reconstructs the highly variegated story of deindustrialization in Western Europe with a particular focus on Britain, France and West Germany. Extending over three decades, this transformation was accompanied by significant rises in productivity and consumerism, but it also came at a heavy cost, ushering in many low-income jobs, growing inequality and a crisis of democratic representation. Its legacy is everywhere around us today – it is the transformation that has shaped our world.

In diesem Aufsatzband erkunden Historiker und Rechtswissenschaftler gemeinsam, wie sich die Autonomie des Rechts in den politischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Umbrüchen seit 1945 entwickelt hat. Dieses liberale Schlüsselkonzept des 19. Jahrhunderts hat für die Entwicklung der Demokratie in Deutschland nach den Diktaturerfahrungen besondere Relevanz. In neun Beiträgen plus Kommentaren werden zentrale Felder in Recht und Politik darauf hin befragt, wie "Autonomie des Rechts" dort eigentlich interpretiert und praktiziert wurde. Gemustert werden das Verfassungsrecht, das Strafrecht in Auseinandersetzung mit dem Linksterrorismus, die richterliche Fortbildung des Wirtschaftsrechts und des kollektiven Arbeitsrechts sowie die Entwicklung des Europarechts. Den Spuren politischer Aushöhlung der liberalen Ordnungsidee der Rechtautonomie gehen Beiträge zur Geschichte des Rechts im Nationalsozialismus und in der DDR nach.

Fußball ist heute ein Milliardengeschäft: hochprofessionell, extrem kommerzialisiert und weltweit populär. Bis Anfang der 1990er Jahre steckte er jedoch in einer Krise: rückläufige Zuschauerzahlen, marode Stadien, verschuldete Vereine. Wie war es möglich, dass es in Deutschland und England um 1990 fast zeitgleich zu einer radikalen Neuausrichtung des Spiels unter den Vorzeichen von Vermarktlichung und Globalisierung kam? Hannah Jonas untersucht die Geschichte des Fußballs und bettet sie in den zeitgeschichtlichen Kontext von Konsum, Medien, Globalisierung und politisch-kulturellen Trends ein.
