Die religi{\"o}se orthodoxe Vorherrschaft scheint zu br{\"o}ckeln. Kann jedoch deswegen von einem Mentalit{\"a}tswandel oder einer S{\"a}kularisierung des Staates gesprochen werden?

Dies erweist sich jedoch als h{\"o}chst problematisch, da Personen mit nicht-bin{\"a}rer Geschlechtsidentit{\"a}t in einem hohen Maß von Diskriminierung und sozialer Ungleichheit betroffen sind. In der Abschlussarbeit wird deswegen mit Hilfe einer intersektionalen Perspektive auf diese Forschungsl{\"u}cke eingegangen. Es wird dabei die Frage gestellt, welche M{\"o}glichkeiten und Grenzen das Konzept der Intersektionalit{\"a}t in Bezug auf die Erforschung von Diskriminierungserfahrungen von Personen mit nicht-bin{\"a}rer Geschlechtsidentit{\"a}t bietet und worauf die soziale Ungleichheit dieser Personengruppe basiert. Hierf{\"u}r wird zun{\"a}chst nicht nur auf grundlegende geschlechtersoziologische Theorien eingegangen sowie das Konzept der Intersektionalit{\"a}t erl{\"a}utert, sondern auch ausf{\"u}hrlich der Wissenschaftsstand zu nicht-bin{\"a}ren Personen nachgezeichnet. Bei der darauffolgenden Analyse der Diskriminierungserfahrungen werden vor allem die sprachliche Benachteiligung, die Invalidierung der Geschlechtsidentit{\"a}t sowie die durch Institutionen und systematische Strukturen hervorgerufene, besonders dramatische soziale Ungleichheit deutlich. Aus einer intersektionalen Perspektive zeigen sich zudem deutliche Unterschiede zwischen nicht-bin{\"a}ren Personen, wobei sich vor allem der Einfluss von Rassismus als {\"a}ußerst auff{\"a}llig erweist. Die soziale Ungleichheit der nicht-bin{\"a}ren Personen l{\"a}sst sich dabei zu einem großen Teil durch die in der Gesellschaft vorherrschende Heteronormativit{\"a}t und dem Alltagswissen {\"u}ber eine vermeintliche Dualit{\"a}t der Geschlechter erkl{\"a}ren. Im Hinblick auf die Fruchtbarkeit einer intersektionalen Perspektive auf Diskriminierungserfahrungen von nicht-bin{\"a}ren Personen zeigen sich Grenzen des Konzepts vor allem bei der notwendigen Limitierung der Kategorienanzahl und bei einer Herangehensweise, welche den Begriff der Intersektionalit{\"a}t w{\"o}rtlich nimmt. M{\"o}glichkeiten bei der Verwendung einer Mischung aus antikategorialen und interkategorialen Ansatzes sind hingegen, eine Kritik an Ausschl{\"u}ssen in der Forschung zu sozialer Ungleichheit, die kritische Sichtbarhaltung der machtvollen Prozesse hinter Kategorisierungen und das Aufzeigen von Unterschieden innerhalb ansonsten als homogen behandelten sozialen Gruppen.

This paper studies attitudes of the Austrian population - a net-contributor to the European budget - towards financial solidarity using two waves of the Austrian Corona Panel Project collected in May and June 2020. We find that individuals (i) who are less likely to consider the Covid-19 pandemic as a national economic threat, (ii) who believe that Austria benefits from supporting other countries, and (iii) who prefer the crisis to be organized more centrally at EU-level show higher support for European financial solidarity. Using fixed effects models, we further show that perceiving economic threats and preferring central crisis management also explain attitude dynamics within individuals over time.

Yet, complexifying societies promulgate multiple and sometimes inconsistent institutional prescriptions. When these prescriptions collide, organizations are said to face "institutional complexity". How does an organization then incorporate incompatible demands? What are the consequences of institutional complexity for an organization? The literature provides contradictory conceptual and empirical insights on the matter. A central assumption, however, remains that internal incompatibilities generate tensions that, under certain conditions, can escalate into intractable conflicts, resulting in dysfunctionality and loss of legitimacy. The present research is an inquiry into what happens inside an organization when it incorporates complex institutional demands. To answer this question, I focus on how individuals inside an organization interpret a complex institutional prescription. I examine how members of the French Development Agency interpret 'results-based management', a central but complex concept of organizing in the field of development aid. I use an inductive mixed methods design to systematically explore how different interpretations of results-based management relate to one another and to the organizational context in which they are embedded. The results reveal that results-based management is a contested concept in the French Development Agency. I find multiple interpretations of the concept, which are attached to partly incompatible rationales about "who we are" and "what we do as an organization". These rationales nevertheless coexist as balanced forces, without escalating into open conflict. The analysis points to four reasons for this peaceful coexistence of diverging rationales inside one and the same organization: 1) individuals' capacity to manipulate different interpretations of a complex institutional demand, 2) the nature of interpretations, which makes them more or less prone to conflict, 3) the balanced distribution of rationales across the organizational sub-contexts and 4) the shared rules of interpretation provided by the larger socio-cultural context. This research shows that an organization that incorporates institutional complexity comes to represent different, partly incompatible things to its members without being at war with itself. In doing so, it contributes to our knowledge of institutional complexity and organizational hybridity. It also advances our understanding of internal organizational legitimacy and of the translation of managerial concepts in organizations.}, language = {en} } @article{BonomiSavignonMeneguzzoKuhlmannetal.2021, author = {Bonomi Savignon, Andrea and Meneguzzo, Marco and Kuhlmann, Sabine and Cepiku, Denita}, title = {Guest editorial: Interinstitutional performance management}, series = {International journal of public sector management : IJPSM}, volume = {34}, journal = {International journal of public sector management : IJPSM}, number = {3}, publisher = {Emerald Group Publishing Limited}, address = {Bingley}, issn = {0951-3558}, doi = {10.1108/IJPSM-03-2021-0057}, pages = {241 -- 246}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @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.

The discourse on what constitutes sustainable development conflict on some of the most basic issues, including the proper definitions, instruments and indicators of what should be 'developed' or 'sustained'. Whereas earlier research on the role of (scientific) knowledge in policy adopted a rationalist-positivist view of knowledge as the basis for 'evidence-based policy making', recent literature on knowledge creation and transfer processes has instead pointed towards aspects of knowledge-policy 'co-production' (Jasanoff 2004). It is highlighted that knowledge utilisation is not just a matter of the quality of the knowledge as such, but a question of which knowledge fits with the institutional context and dominant power structures. Just as knowledge supports and justifies certain policy, policy can produce and stabilise certain knowledge. Moreover, rather than viewing knowledge-policy interaction as a linear and uni-directional model, this conceptualization is based on an assumption of the policy process as being more anarchic and unpredictable, something Cohen, March and Olsen (1972) has famously termed the 'garbage-can model'. The present dissertation focuses on the interplay between knowledge and policy in sustainability governance. It takes stock with the practice of 'Management by Objectives and Results' (MBOR: Lundqvist 2004) whereby policy actors define sustainable development goals (based on certain knowledge) and are expected to let these definitions guide policy developments as well as evaluate whether sustainability improves or not. As such a knowledge-policy instrument, Sustainability Indicators (SI:s) help both (subjectively) construct 'social meaning' about sustainability and (objectively) influence policy and measure its success. The different articles in this cumulative dissertation analyse the development, implementation and policy support (personal and institutional) of Sustainability Indicators as an instrument for MBOR in a variety of settings. More specifically, the articles centre on the question of how sustainability definitions and measurement tools on the one hand (knowledge) and policy instruments and political power structures on the other, are co-produced. A first article examines the normative foundations of popular international SI:s and country rankings. Combining theoretical (constructivist) analysis with factor analysis, it analyses how the input variable structure of SI:s are related to different sustainability paradigms, producing a different output in terms of which countries (developed versus developing) are most highly ranked. Such a theoretical input-output analysis points towards a potential problem of SI:s becoming a sort of 'circular argumentation constructs'. The article thus, highlights on a quantitative basis what others have noted qualitatively - that different definitions and interpretations of sustainability influence indicator output to the point of contradiction. The normative aspects of SI:s does thereby not merely concern the question of which indicators to use for what purposes, but also the more fundamental question of how normative and political bias are intrinsically a part of the measurement instrument as such. The study argues that, although no indicator can be expected to tell the sustainability 'truth-out-there', a theoretical localization of indicators - and of the input variable structure - may help facilitate interpretation of SI output and the choice of which indicators to use for what (policy or academic) purpose. A second article examines the co-production of knowledge and policy in German sustainability governance. It focuses on the German sustainability strategy 'Perspektiven f{\"u}r Deutschland' (2002), a strategy that stands out both in an international comparison of national sustainability strategies as well as among German government policy strategies because of its relative stability over five consecutive government constellations, its rather high status and increasingly coercive nature. The study analyses what impact the sustainability strategy has had on the policy process between 2002 and 2015, in terms of defining problems and shaping policy processes. Contrasting rationalist and constructivist perspectives on the role of knowledge in policy, two factors, namely the level of (scientific and political) consensus about policy goals and the 'contextual fit' of problem definitions, are found to be main factors explaining how different aspects of the strategy is used. Moreover, the study argues that SI:s are part of a continuous process of 'structuring' in which indicator, user and context factors together help structure the sustainability challenge in such a way that it becomes more manageable for government policy. A third article examines how 31 European countries have built supportive institutions of MBOR between 1992 and 2012. In particular during the 1990s and early 2000s much hope was put into the institutionalisation of Environmental Policy Integration (EPI) as a way to overcome sectoral thinking in sustainability policy making and integrate issues of environmental sustainability into all government policy. However, despite high political backing (FN, EU, OECD), implementation of EPI seems to differ widely among countries. The study is a quantitative longitudinal cross-country comparison of how countries' 'EPI architectures' have developed over time. Moreover, it asks which 'EPI architectures' seem to be more effective in producing more 'stringent' sustainability policy.}, language = {en} } @article{Borgnaes2016, author = {Borgn{\"a}s, Kajsa}, title = {The Policy Influence of Sustainability Indicators: Examining Use and Influence of Indicators in German Sustainability Policy Making}, series = {German politics}, volume = {25}, journal = {German politics}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {0964-4008}, doi = {10.1080/09644008.2016.1193160}, pages = {480 -- 499}, year = {2016}, abstract = {In 2002 Germany adopted an ambitious national sustainability strategy, covering all three sustainability spheres and circling around 21 key indicators.
