This dichotomy is partly due to the dominance of domains-based definitions of the concept that reduce civil society to a small range of formally organized, independent and democratically oriented NGOs. Additionally, research often treats civil society as a 'black box' without differentiating between potential variations in impact of different types of civil society actors on existing regime structures. In this thesis, I present an alternative conceptualization of civil society based on the interactions of societal actors to arrive at a more inclusive understanding of the term which is more suited for analysis in non-democratic settings. The operationalization of the action-based approach I develop allows for an empirical assessment of a large range of societal activities that can accordingly be categorized from little to very civil society-like depending on their specific modes of interactions within four dimensions. I employ this operationalization in a qualitative case study including different actors in the authoritarian monarchy of Jordan which suggests that Jordanian societal actors mostly exhibit tolerant and democratically oriented modes of interaction and do not reproduce authoritarian patterns. However, even democratically oriented actors do not necessarily take on an oppositional positions vis-{\`a}-vis the authoritarian regime. Thus, the Jordanian civil society might not feature a high potential to challenge existing power structures in the country.}, language = {en} } @misc{Schmidt2014, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Schmidt, Oliver}, title = {Gewaltt{\"a}tiger Protest im Vorm{\"a}rz}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-310-7}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-72253}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {116}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Historisch wie aktuell werden durch gewaltt{\"a}tige soziale Auseinandersetzungen bestehende gesellschaftliche Ordnungen infrage gestellt. In der Geschichtswissenschaft wie in der Soziologie waren Tumulte, Aufst{\"a}nde oder soziale Erhebungen immer wieder Gegenstand von Untersuchungen. W{\"a}hrend der historische Zugriff auf diese Ph{\"a}nomene gew{\"o}hnlich durch detaillierte Beschreibungen historische Abl{\"a}ufe genau zu rekonstruieren versucht hat, um diese verstehen zu k{\"o}nnen, geht es soziologischen Arbeiten zumeist um einen viel st{\"a}rker generalisierenden und erkl{\"a}renden Zugriff.

Nach wie vor gilt deshalb, dass mit der ausschließlichen Konzentration auf die je eigene disziplin{\"a}re Herangehensweise viel Erkenntnispotenzial verschenkt wird. Aus diesem Grund unterbreitet die vorliegende Studie einen neuen Vorschlag, Geschichtswissenschaft und Soziologie zusammenzubringen.

In meinem Lehrforschungsprojekt haben wir in einem ersten Schritt ab 2004 die Operationalisierung der gesellschaftlich w{\"u}nschenswerten Ziele entwickelt und erste Auswertungen f{\"u}r 28 L{\"a}nder vorgenommen (Holtmann, Dieter u. a.: Zur Performanz von Wohlfahrtsregimen und zu den Unterst{\"u}tzungspotentialen f{\"u}r die verschiedenen Wohlfahrtskonzepte. Potsdam 2006: Universit{\"a}tsverlag). Im n{\"a}chsten Schritt haben wir die Operationalisierungen weiterentwickelt und ab 2007 36 L{\"a}nder in den Vergleich einbezogen (Holtmann, Dieter u.a.: Die Sozialstruktur der Bundesrepublik Deutschland im internationalen Vergleich. Potsdam 20127: Universit{\"a}tsverlag). Im dritten Schritt haben wir diesen systematischen L{\"a}ndervergleich durch Fallstudien zu den einzelnen L{\"a}ndern erg{\"a}nzt (Holtmann, Dieter u.a.: Die Wohlfahrt der Nationen: 40 L{\"a}nder-Fallstudien zu den Institutionen und ihrer Performanz. Aachen 2012: Shaker). In meinem Ansatz gehe ich nicht von einem einheitlichen Pfad der Modernisierung in Richtung Wachstum, Partizipation und Inklusion aus, sondern unterscheide - in Erweiterung der „drei Welten des Wohlfahrtskapitalismus" von Esping-Andersen (1990) - f{\"u}r die ber{\"u}cksichtigten L{\"a}nder (u.a. alle EU-Mitglieder) insbesondere folgende sechs verschiedene institutionelle Entwicklungspfade der Modernisierung: Der sozialdemokratisch-universalistische Pfad, der wirtschaftsliberale Pfad, der Status-konservierende Pfad, der „familistische" Pfad, die Entwicklung der Gruppe der post-sozialistischen L{\"a}nder, die sich in einem Prozess der Ausdifferenzierung befinden, und den produktivistischen, aufstiegsorientierten Modernisierungspfad Ostasiens. Als Erweiterung {\"u}ber die 36 entwickelten L{\"a}nder unserer Sozialstrukturvergleiche hinaus ber{\"u}cksichtige ich die f{\"u}nf Aufsteiger S{\"u}dkorea, Brasilien, S{\"u}dafrika, China und Indien sowie mit Kroatien und Serbien ein neues bzw. prospektives EU-Mitglied.

It can be best described with the term selflessness and is mostly regarded in contrast to the so called rational and egocentric behaviour of human beings. People who support the idea of a rational protagonist often reject the idea of altruism. On the contrary people who believe in altruistic human beings are rather rare and do not support the idea of a purely egoist human being. The presented BA Thesis examined this controversy on the example of Emile Durkheim and James Coleman who both represent different ideas when it comes to altruism. While Durkheim sees altruism as an evident feature of human nature, Coleman denies its existence. Instead, he is assuming that human behaviour is driven by egoism and he therefore exemplifies the rational-choice concept. The opposing approaches towards altruism are rooted in the different premises, which also lead to different methodological paths in social or sociological theory. The methodological individualism portrayed through Coleman starts from an egocentric, rational stakeholder, whereas the methodological collectivism finds it origin in a normative world view. The paper analysed these approaches. By comparing both ontologies I tried to show the limits of both theories and a way out of the methodological dispute and subsequently between the altruism-egoism controversies.}, language = {de} } @article{BorckWimbersky2014, author = {Borck, Rainald and Wimbersky, Martin}, title = {Political economics of higher education finance}, series = {Oxford economic papers}, volume = {66}, journal = {Oxford economic papers}, number = {1}, publisher = {Oxford Univ.

Official websites and any methodological documents found on those websites were content analyzed using the developed methodology. Interviews with representatives of the city rankings were conducted to acquire any additional information. Results showed that the city rankings varied greatly with respect to their methodological characteristics and that all city rankings had methodological weaknesses. Developers of city rankings are advised to use the methodology developed in this study to find methodological weaknesses and improve their ranking. In addition, developers ought to be more transparent about the methodological characteristics of their city rankings.

This article applies information processing analysis to the decision making process in the European Union (EU). Towards this end, the article inquires into the organizational foundations of information processing at successive levels of administrative and legislative decision making and shows how this analytical perspective can be used to gain a better understanding of policy dynamics at the supranational level. The article argues that information processing in the EU is likely to produce distinct policy dynamics in key respects. It identifies promising avenues for future research and discusses some of the issues this evolving theoretical framework should address in order to allow for a more comprehensive exploration of this analytical perspective in the context of the EU.}, language = {en} } @article{SchmidtWellenburg2014, author = {Schmidt-Wellenburg, Christian}, title = {How consulting became a transnational form of governance in the field of management}, series = {Berliner Journal f{\"u}r Soziologie = Journal de sociologie de Berlin}, volume = {24}, journal = {Berliner Journal f{\"u}r Soziologie = Journal de sociologie de Berlin}, number = {2}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Wiesbaden}, issn = {0863-1808}, doi = {10.1007/s11609-014-0250-y}, pages = {227 -- 255}, year = {2014}, language = {de} } @article{Sprinz2014, author = {Sprinz, Detlef F.}, title = {Long-term policy problems: definition, origins, and redponses}, series = {Predicting the Future in Science, Economics, and Politics}, journal = {Predicting the Future in Science, Economics, and Politics}, publisher = {Elgar}, address = {Northampton}, isbn = {978-1-78347-186-7}, pages = {126 -- 143}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @article{JensenKnillSchulzeetal.2014, author = {Jensen, Carsten and Knill, Christoph and Schulze, Kai and Tosun, Jale}, title = {Giving less by doing more?

Yet retrenchment occurs rather frequently in advanced welfare states without this systematically leading to electoral punishment. We solve this paradox by, first, arguing that governments can avoid the blame of retrenchment by pursuing a strategy of expansionary dismantling' where new policies and instruments are used to compensate reform losers and to obfuscate cutbacks. Second, we test our argument with a huge new dataset consisting of changes in unemployment legislation and replacement rates in 18 OECD countries from 1976 to 2000. The statistical tests provide robust support for our argument, suggesting that the introduction of new policies and instruments leads to cutbacks in replacement rates. We also find that left-leaning governments are least likely to engage in expansionary dismantling.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Dahlsten2014, author = {Dahlsten, Ulf}, title = {World market governance}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-70168}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Democratic capitalism or liberal democracy, as the successful marriage of convenience between market liberalism and democracy sometimes is called, is in trouble. The market economy system has become global and there is a growing mismatch with the territoriality of the nation-states. The functional global networks and inter-governmental order can no longer keep pace with the rapid development of the global market economy and regulatory capture is all too common. Concepts like de-globalization, self-regulation, and global government are floated in the debate. The alternatives are analysed and found to be improper, inadequate or plainly impossible. The proposed route is instead to accept that the global market economy has developed into an independent fundamental societal system that needs its own governance. The suggestion is World Market Governance based on the Rule of Law in order to shape the fitness environment for the global market economy and strengthen the nation-states so that they can regain the sovereignty to decide upon the social and cultural conditions in each country. Elements in the proposed Rule of Law are international legislation decided by an Assembly supported by a Council, and an independent Judiciary. Existing international organisations would function as executors.
