Presents 11 papers selected from a conference held in June 1997 in Baltimore, Maryland to look, not at the challenges facing people who work and their responses, but at how structural changes in the labor market impacts business and government and what they can do to optimize their interests. The topics include globalization and productivity in the US and Germany, sectoral versus spatial shocks in the European labor markets, proposals for changing the structure of financing social security in Germany and some possible effects, the changing skill structure of employment in German manufacturing, issues of environmental and labor standards in the global trading system, and the political economy of international labor standards.
