30 MPIfG Report 1999–2002 states. While this expansion of the judicial power and independence in the Union has been widely explored, the issue of the geographical and temporal variations of the number of social cases referred by national courts to the ECJ remains neglected. The existence of substantive differences between Community-level legislation and national-level legislation and practices partly explains this uneven influence. Equally, the question of the different national judges’ “attitudes” towards Community law is also often mentioned. While not unfounded, such explanations are not very satisfactory. The objective of this postdoctoral project is to examine why, how and under what conditions national courts mobilize Com- Shareholder Value and Codetermination in Germany Martin Höpner This doctoral project examines the shareholder orientation of large German companies. During the 1990s, German companies such as Veba, Hoechst or Bayer began to change their policy towards investors. Companies introduced profitability targets and stock option plans, set up investor relations departments and changed their accounting standards in order to improve their relationship with shareholders. The increasing significance of shareholder value orientation in large firms has been attributed to several factors such as the internationalization of companies, changes in ownership and company structures, or the changing labor market of top managers. The project tests these hypotheses using econometric methods. It also examines the consequences of shareholder orientation of large companies for the German system of industrial relations. It is assumed that works councils have different attitudes towards the shareholder strategies of management, depending on whether the company is a potential target for hostile takeovers or not.

It aims at explaining the divergent degree, forms and dynamics of judicial politics throughout the Union. The study has drawn more general conclusions regarding the differential impact of European integration on judicial politics in the social field. Project duration: October 1998 to February 2000.

In: Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie, Vol. 52, No. 3, 500–519 (2000) The Impact of Internationalization on German Industrial Relations Wolfgang Streeck and Anke Hassel German labor market institutions are characterized by pervasive regulation of company behavior by strong interest associations. Confederations of employers and trade unions engage in collective bargaining in a way that makes for high homogeneity of labor market conditions. At the level of individual companies, codetermination provides for stable relations between employers and worker representatives. There are indications that the internationalization of the economy might alter the incentive structure for companies to comply with the highly regulated industrial relations system. Among other things, internationalization pressures may be exerted by a changing structure of corporate governance resulting from an increase in securities rather than bank finance. This might result in a shift in the relationship between shareholders and stakeholders. Companies may also become reluctant to participate in centralized collective bargaining. The project will look at the interaction between external internationalization pressures, the incentive structure of the system of industrial relations, and the changing behavior of companies, works councils and unions. Its starting point is a quantitative assessment of the internationalization tendencies of the 100 largest German companies. This will be complemented with qualitative case studies on selected companies. The project is supported by a grant from the Hans Böckler Foundation. Project duration: January 1999 to July 2002.
