Die Konjunktur- und Strukturkrisen der "langen" siebziger Jahre. Verlauf, Wahrnehmung und Bewältigung im Saarland 1966-1982

该项目从经济社会史的角度研究了1966/7年、1974/5年和1981/2年的经济衰退。它集中于危机模式之间的相互关系及其在相关管理者/投资者、雇员/消费者和政治家意识中的反映。在萨尔州的地理研究领域，在20世纪70年代，这些周期性危机与煤炭和钢铁工业的不同结构性危机相结合。由于其中欧边境地区的特点，对该地区的关注允许在德国-法国-卢森堡工业区的背景下从跨国角度研究这些危机。在继续期间，将进一步把重点放在迄今为止主导工作的克服危机的模式、认识和战略上。在今后的步骤中，将特别强调现有的危机意识与发起、执行和资助克服危机的措施之间的联系。在此背景下，将深化对工会作用和欧盟委员会危机政策的研究。大企业危机的出现将通过对钢铁生产商Saarstahl（及其前身公司）和ARBED的跨国公司战略的案例研究来研究，这些公司受到危机的强烈影响。此外，为了完成研究，还将分析克服危机的政治战略。例如，这些措施包括对煤炭和钢铁工业的补贴，或支持旨在保护雇员的协议（Sozialpläne），以及支持该区域结构变革的措施。从术语上讲，该项目认为危机是当代政治、经济和公共行为者直接感知和经历的不确定性和损失的历史现实。因此，我们假设危机对个人和集体行为的调节具有深刻的影响，这种影响集中在短时间内。

From the perspective of the economic and social history the project deals with the recessions of 1966/7, 1974/5 and 1981/2. It concentrates on the interrelations between the patterns of the crises and its reflections in the consciousness of the involved managers/investors, employees/consumers and politicians. In the geographical research area of the Saarland in the ¿long¿ 1970s there was a combination of these cyclical crises with different structural crises of the coal and steel industry. Due to its character of a Middle European border region the focus on this area allows to research these crises from a transnational perspective within the context of a German-French-Luxembourgian industrial district. The main focus on the patterns, the perception and the strategies of overcoming the crises which dominated the work up to now will be pursued further in the period of continuation. In the next steps a special emphasis will be on the connections between the existing consciousness of crises and the initiation, enforcement and subsidizing of measures for overcoming the crises. In this context, there will be a deepening of the research on the role of trade unions and the crises policies of the European Commission. The appearance of the crises in big enterprises will be researched with the help of a case study on the transnational corporate strategies of the steel producers Saarstahl (and its predecessor companies) and ARBED which were strongly affected by the crises. Further, to complete the research there will be an analysis of the political strategies to overcome the crises. For example, they included subsidies for the coal and steel industry or the support of agreements which sought to protect the employees (Sozialpläne) and also measures to support the structural change in the region. Terminologically, the project considers crises a historical reality of uncertainty and losses that was directly perceived and experienced by the contemporary political, economic and public actors. Therefore, it is assumed that crises have a deep impact on the regulation of individual and collective behavior which is concentrated on a short time.
