Abstract
Globalization has become not only a topic of economic, political, sociological, and anthropological research, but also a source of intense debate within the larger public. In the German context, it is not rare to find employers’ associations that advocate deregulation for companies to better withstand global competitive pressures. At the same time, widespread opposition to globalization often rests on fears of unbridled capitalism and hopes for greater regulatory mechanisms vis-à-vis financial markets, as well as the preservation and continuation of the traditional welfare state post-World War II.
