Funding the future
The twin digital and green transition constitutes a major societal challenge in the upcoming decades. To remain competitive, governments need to invest in both transformations. However, budgetary limits constitute trade-offs in addressing both simultaneously. At the same time, both transformations have far-reaching consequences for labor markets. Yet, we know very little about citizens’ preferences for relative public spending on both transitions…
From outrage to action
In early 2024, revelations concerning a meeting of far-right actors to discuss large-scale deportations triggered one of the largest waves of protest in modern German history. What brought people into the streets was not outrage at these plans alone, but also a deeper anxiety about the trajectory of liberal democracy, intensified by the growing strength of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). Against this backdrop, the present article draws on …
Moralized global markets and contested fields
How do people judge the moral boundaries of markets? While scholars have mostly addressed this question in local/national contexts, we ask about perceptions of environmental, labor, and human rights abuses in global supply chains. Extending theories of moralized markets as contested fields, we develop a framework centered on competing claims of corporations and NGOs. Using a conjoint survey experiment in Germany, we examine the conditions under w…
Who Deserves European Solidarity? How Recipient Characteristics Shaped Public Support for International Medical and Financial Aid during Covid-19
International solidarity is indispensable for coping with global crises; however, solidarity is frequently constrained by public opinion. Past research has examined who, on the donor side, is willing to support European and international aid. However, we know less about who, on the recipient side, is perceived to deserve solidarity. The article argues that potential donors consider situational circumstances and those relational features that link…
The Making and Breaking of Social Ties During the Pandemic. Socio-Economic Position, Demographic Characteristics, and Changes in Social Networks
Contact restrictions and distancing measures are among the most effective non-pharmaceutical measures to stop the spread of the SARS-CoV2 virus. Yet, research has only begun to understand the wider social consequences of these interventions. This study investigates how individuals' social networks have changed since the outbreak of the pandemic and how this is related to individuals' socio-economic positions and their socio-demographic characteri…
Who Received Informal Social Support During the First Covid-19 Lockdown in Germany, and Who Did Not? The Role of Social Networks, Life Course and Pandemic-Specific Risks
In this article, we study the receipt of informal support during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany. The containment measures have had various, far-reaching consequences for the wellbeing of people, creating demands for economic, practical, and emotional support-even among individuals who hitherto were not in need of support. Existing research has shown substantial levels of informal support during the pandemic, often based on ind…
The impact of the coronavirus crisis on European societies. What have we learnt and where do we go from here? – Introduction to the Covid volume
The coronavirus pandemic, which first impacted European societies in early 2020, has created a twofold crisis by combining a health threat with economic turmoil. While the crisis has affected all European societies very significantly, its impact varies across countries, social groups, and societal domains. In an effort to provide a first overview of the effect of the coronavirus crisis, in this editorial we discuss contributions of 58 papers publ…

Crises and the reconfiguration of solidarities in Europe – origins, scope, variations
In the last decade, Europe has been affected by several crises, which had and still have detrimental consequences for the life of many people, suffering from unemployment, poverty and social exclusion. The special issue seeks to explore how these crises have challenged and promoted solidarities within and between European countries. In the introductory paper, first a typology of different types of solidarity – social, political and welfare – is d…
Solidarity with refugees across Europe. A comparative analysis of public support for helping forced migrants
The major influx of refugees to Europe, especially in 2015, has led to immense solidarity, but also hostility among European citizens. In the wake of the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ country differences in the willingness to help displaced people have become a salient issue of European integration. In this paper, we explain country differences in the public support for helping refugees across Europe at a critical time-point – spring 2016 – just aft…
The moral economies of market societies
In a classical typology, Polanyi distinguishes three basic modes of economic integration: competitive market exchange, redistribution and reciprocity. While markets are dominant in modern capitalism, redistribution and reciprocity are-to varying extent-also part of its institutional architecture. Asking whether such institutional differences are mirrored in distinct 'moral economies', we investigate ordinary citizens' support for market competiti…
Crises and consumption
This chapter provides an overview of basic analytical frameworks to the study of crises and consumption and review the respective empirical literature. It highlights what has been found and point towards shortcomings and gaps in an effort to establish a research agenda for the study of the impact of major shocks on consumption and social resilience in the everyday. The chapter also provides two mechanisms that relate crises to practices: a basic …
In Unions We Trust! Analysing Confidence in Unions across Europe
Public institutions and trade unions in particular are often portrayed as facing a deep crisis. In order to better understand to what extent unions are still perceived as legitimate institutions from the society as a whole (working and non‐working individuals), we analyse the determinants of confidence in unions across 14 European countries between 1981 and 2009. Confidence in unions is explained through individual‐level variables (by a rational …
Co-governing common goods
This article addresses co-governance which can be defined as a dynamic interaction between public and private actors to secure the provision of common goods. Which types of relationship between public and private actors exist? Do the forms of co-governance change over time? When is the relationship between public and private actors cooperative, when is it competitive, and when do we witness conflictual relationships? These research questions lie …
Die organisierte Vermarktlichung der Moral und die Moralisierung der Märkte. Eine vergleichende Analyse der Fair-Handelsbewegung und der Entstehung ethischen Konsums in Europa
What drives political consumption in Europe? A multi-level analysis on individual characteristics, opportunity structures and globalization
Political consumption is an individualized form of collective action that varies considerably across Europe. Citizens as consumers participate in boycotts and ‘positive’ buying of goods based on ethical, political and environmental considerations. Overcoming the individualistic bias of past research, the comparative analysis extends actor-centred explanations by focusing on political, cultural and economic opportunity structures and on globalizat…
The institutional embeddedness of social responsibility
This study sets out to explore the institutional embeddedness of civic engagement in the form of monetary donations and volunteering by firms in Western Europe. Drawing on a recent analysis of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), two contradictory hypotheses—institutional mirror versus substitute—are discussed focusing on three institutional spheres: corporatism, welfare arrangements and statism. The paper argues for moving beyond a linear pers…
Inklusions- und Exklusionsmechanismen gewerkschaftlicher Mitgliedschaft – Ein europäischer Vergleich
Die europäischen Gewerkschaftsbewegungen sehen sich heute mit einem stetigen Schwinden ihrer Mitgliederbasis konfrontiert. Dieser Abwärtstrend vollzieht sich in den Ländern Europas jedoch nicht in gleicher Weise, vielmehr variiert der gewerkschaftliche Organisationsgrad im historischen und europäischen Vergleich beträchtlich.
