This publication looks at the historical context of Germany’s dual system of vocational training and the challenges it has faced since the introduction of the Vocational Training Act in 1969. It examines the capacity of two sectors, the metalworking industry and the building trade, to respond to social and economic changes and the subsequent demands for new and higher skills. The study reveals the importance of negotiation and cooperation between government, the social partners, and research institutes in all aspects of the decision-making process from the elaboration of

Syria entered a new phase with the death of its long-serving leader, Hafiz al-Asad, and the accession of his son Bashar in 2000.  While the new president has disappointed much of the hopes for political opening which he himself has created, Syria is clearly undergoing a process of change. The author analyses the factors of economic and political change in the country, and gives a portrait of its new leadership.

Innovation in banking should be directed at improving the infrastructure that fosters efficient financial services and international trade. In this work, innovation theory is used to show how modern payment systems have transformed the technology of banking and facilitated changes in the strategy and structure of financial services organisations. Design, implementation and dissemination of payment systems are described and the analysis of their costs and benefits is combined with case studies of banks undergoing change. By studying firm capabilities, competencies, and resources, the approach

Alexander Hamilton’s profound influence on American life is well-documented. Less well- appreciated is the story of how Hamilton s works travelled abroad; leaders in Germany, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea came to keenly appreciate the relevance of Hamilton’s works to the modernisation challenges facing their own nations. This book reveals East Asian leaders close association with Hamiltonian thought and practice, and shows that American and East Asian economies share common foundations of state activism that transcend political rhetoric.

The idea of the Modernisation of European Competition Law had been launched by the Commission in late 2000 in a White Paper. The Commission proposed to decentralise the application of the EC competition rules: national authorities and judges would receive new competencies in this area. The modernisation process should dramatically change the scene. Current expectations are that there is a fair chance that the Commission’s proposal will be adopted, with some amendments, by the Council before the end of 2002. Following the publication of the White Paper, the Leuven Centre for a Common Law
