- Abstract
Against a background of several cases of company failure and managerial misconduct, a major debate about corporate governance has developed in Germany in recent years. Co-determination plays a limited but nevertheless highly interesting role in this. Based on a broad discourse analysis of the German print media, this paper draws a picture of the difficulties faced by co-determination in recent years. With the help of five hypotheses, several aspects of the debate are highlighted. Moreover, the (problematic) strategies of the supporters of co-determination and the future prospects for German co-determination are critically discussed.
