Entitled “Kooperation, Governance, Wertschöpfung. Perspektiven auf eine Relationale Ökonomie” (Cooperation, Governance, Value Creation. Perspectives on Relational Economics), the book was published on the occasion of Josef Wieland’s 70th birthday. It places his current research focus in the context of the work of his long-time companions and covers Relational Economics Theory from various ankles. In collaboration with the authors, the editors aimed to discuss the potential of Relational Economics for the analysis of economic issues and starting points for future interdisciplinary research.


The editors Julika Baumann Montecinos, Dominik Fischer, and Andreas E. H. Heck describe in the preface that the volume is an “attempt to contribute to a field of research that is very dear to Josef Wieland and which he has significantly shaped through his previous and current work. Dealing with cooperation, governance, and value creation in Relational Economics is obvious if one knows him well and thinks about what drives him.”


The book’s presentation was held mostly as a video conference and surprised the jubilarian, which was a great pleasure for everyone involved. The book contains not only biographical texts and scientific discussions but also a selection of pictures arranged by the artist Harald F. Müller. It book is published at Metropolis publisher


And the presentee was delighted: “It fills me with deep joy to see that my work is being continued, that it is being reflected upon, and that it is being carried forward. And that this book itself is the result of wonderful cooperation. This is what one can only wish for as a scientist – and a person who is deeply convinced that we can and must all cooperate. So, I could hardly have been given a more beautiful gift. I would like to express my gratitude to the editors and authors.”
