Business, Economics & LawApril 2022Peer-to-peer Accommodation and Community Resilience
Implications for Sustainable Development
by Anna Farmaki, Dimitri Ioannides, Stella Kladou
The growth of peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation has been remarkable. However, the rapid expansion of the phenomenon has yielded several concerns over its potentially negative impacts on the economic, social and environmental levels. These impacts are highlighted in policy agenda as an emerging problem encountered by many urban destinations experiencing a boom in P2P accommodation. Specifically, concerns have been raised over the impact of the growth of P2P accommodation on local housing markets, residents' well-being and the environment as a result of the touristification of residential areas. In fact, P2P accommodation has been accused of fuelling the 'overtourism' problem that several destinations face. This edited book addresses the need to examine the P2P accommodation phenomenon from a sustainability lens. In particular, through a collection of chapters focusing on diverse cases, the book considers P2P accommodation from the economic, social, environmental and regulatory dimension of sustainability.

September 2019Gig Economy
Prekäre Arbeit im Zeitalter von Uber, Minijobs & Co.
by Colin Crouch
Ob Foodora, Deliveroo oder Uber – die Unternehmen der Plattformökonomie bieten denen, die für sie arbeiten, oft das Schlechteste aus beiden Welten: die Unfreiheit von Angestellten gepaart mit der Unsicherheit von Freelancern. Die sogenannte Gig Economy ist allerdings nur die Spitze des Eisbergs. Längst ist auch das Standard-Beschäftigungsmodell in die Krise geraten: Minijobs und aufgeweichter Kündigungsschutz, unfreiwillige Teilzeit und Zeitarbeit sind allesamt Facetten einer Entwicklung, die den Arbeitsmarkt des globalen Nordens seit den späten siebziger Jahren erschüttert. Colin Crouch liefert eine differenzierte Analyse und bietet Vorschläge für zeitgemäße Reformen, mit denen die Unsicherheiten auf dem Arbeitsmarkt abgefedert werden könnten.

September 1993Riskante Technologien: Reflexion und Regulation
Einführung in die sozialwissenschaftliche Risikoforschung. Herausgegeben von Wolfgang Krohn und Georg Krücken
by Georg Krücken, Wolfgang Krohn
Riskante Technologien umgeben Alltag und Berufswelt des modernen Menschen. Schon darüber, ob tatsächlich die Gefahren zunehmen oder aber unsere Wahrnehmungen und die öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit gesteigert wurden, ist ein interessanter Streit entbrannt, der in diesem Band aus kultur- und sozialtheoretischer Perspektive dokumentiert ist. Das Problem der politischen und sozialen Akzeptanz neuer Technologien hat Verfahren zur Risikoeinschätzung und –bewertung hervorgebracht, die die theoretische Reflexion über riskante Technologien stärken und ihre praktische Regulation beeinflussen. Diese Instrumentarien, ihre Reichweite und Grenzen werden in diesem Band vorgestellt. Ein weiterer gesellschaftlicher Streitpunkt ist die Frage, wie die Regulierung riskanter Technologien aussehen sollte: sollte die Politik stärker auf die Vermeidung von Risiken setzen, oder sollte sie wegen des erwarteten Nutzens auch Schadensfälle in Kauf nehmen? Sozialwissenschaftliche Analysen und Positionen in dieser Debatte werden durch verschiedene, zum Teil kontroverse Beiträge dargestellt. Der Band versammelt Autoren, die international maßgebliche Beiträge zu den verschiedenen Aspekten der sozialwissenschaftlichen Risikoforschung geleistet haben. Ihnen vorangestellt ist eine ausführliche Einleitung in die sozialwissenschaftliche Risikoforschung, die auch einen Überblick über den sachlichen Zusammenhang der Beiträge gibt. Eine nach Sachgruppen strukturierte Bibliographie erleichtert die Orientierung und Weiterarbeit.
