Marking the 50th anniversary of the cooperation agreement between Ruhr University Bochum and IG Metall; this volume explores the future of co-determination and participation. At its core is the question of how democratic agency can evolve in times of profound economic and social transformation. Democracy in society and politics relies on a vibrant democratization of the world of work—without co-determination in companies and workplaces; it risks losing its social foundation and stability. The contributions reflect on historical developments; analyze current challenges; and discuss innovative approaches to advancing co-determination and participation. With contributions by Christiane Benner | Stefan Berger | Andrea Bianchi-Weinand | Claudia Bogedan | Oscar Calderon | Alfonso Cano | Michaela Evans-Borchers | Timo Gayer | Yves Gensterblum | Sabrina Glanz | Thomas Haipeter | Daniel Hay | Rolf G.
