Zwischen Transfer- und Pionierforschung: Zwölf Problemfelder einer Agenda europabezogener Gewerkschaftsforschung

Abstract

Based on earlier works that scrutinized the linkage between German trade unions and European integration this article intends to identify twelve systematic approaches to further academic research in the field of history. In order to benefit from the academic research that has been carried out so far an exchange between different disciplines seems to be inevitable. In particular, the conclusions from social sciences have to be taken into account by the humanities in order to draw a more nuanced picture and to rest on a more salient basis for further explorations. The interdisciplinary exchange has to be endorsed by further archive studies and the recourse to genuinely historical approaches.
