Edited by Barbara Malina, the volume contains separate sections by 38 authors spread over five chapters:
Definition und Ursprung von Open Access
Drei Publikationsmodelle stellen sich vor
Aspekte der Realisierung von Open-Access-Modellen
Politische Perspektiven
Internationaler Kontext
PS: Chapter 5 includes a short section (pp. 121-125) by me on OA in the US, an abridgement of my longer piece in Neil Jacobs (ed.), Open Access: Key strategic, technical and economic aspects, Chandos, 2006. Thanks to Philipp Disselbeck for translating it into German.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
