Based on a rather short time horizon (starting in 1970s) change is usually attributed to external forces (e.g. \nglobalization). While this is certainly part of the story, the paper argues that in addition endogenous causes for change must not be neglected. \nEndogenous change is understood as a transformation which is not (only) caused by the environment, but has its roots in the initial design of an institution. Understanding endogenous change requires knowledge about the emergence of institutions, the formative compromise they represent and the circumstances under which it came into being. Based on a case study on policy making in German labor law from 1919 until the 1980s, the paper investigates how the initial design of an institution shapes opportunities for latter reforms. \n SEQUENCE:1 X-APPLE-TRAVEL-ADVISORY-BEHAVIOR:AUTOMATIC SUMMARY:IZA Internal Seminar: The Politics of Labor Market Reform in Continental Welfare States: How to Explain Change in German Labor Law since WWI? by Paul Marx (University of Bonn) DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20091203T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:T000000 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
