Strength in numbers? Forms and functions of transnational NGO networks in citizenship education
Youth, democratic distrust, and conspiracy beliefs
Young people across Europe face overlapping crises that have intensified institutional distrust and democratic disillusionment. This article examines how perceived exclusion – linked to financial insecurity, migration background, and peripheral residence – relates to conspiracy beliefs among young people in Germany. Drawing on a nationally representative survey of 16–29-year-olds (N = 3,244), we estimate a structural equation model to test whethe…
Educational change in the age of social networks
This paper argues that educational change can no longer be understood as a process confined to schools, policy systems, and formal educational institutions. As young people’s learning, orientation, and experiences of recognition are increasingly shaped within social media environments, educational change unfolds under conditions that extend beyond institutional control. Drawing on social network perspectives, the paper introduces the concept of d…
Never let a good crisis go to waste”? Transnational NGO networks’ power in citizenship education
Hybrid network governance
Policy networks connect policy actors across spaces and organizations to advance policy agendas. While much is known about forms of network governance, there is still a lack of research to date on how networks work across online and offline spaces, and the ways that this hybridity of networking arrangements may be influencing policy agendas. In the field of climate communication and education, a range of actors are involved in the network governa…
‘We all have the same goals’? Goal diversity in cross-sector collaborations of cultural education
Following the current rise of cross-sector networks in education, we take a closer look at the supply side in the field of cultural education in Germany. We consider goal diversity in cross-sector collaborations and aim to provide insights into the group-specific goals of actors in the initial phase of collaborations. Using the lens of collaborative governance, collaborative engagement, and goal diversity research, we conducted 24 semi-structured…
Informationsverhalten und Verschwörungserzählungen unter jungen Menschen. Eine geschlechts- und bundeslandrepräsentative Studie zu politischen Einstellungen
Das politische Informationsverhalten junger Menschen in Deutschland hat sich in den letzten Jahren stark gewandelt. Insbesondere während der Corona-Pandemie sind soziale Beziehungen vermehrt in digitale soziale Netzwerke umgezogen. Diese sozialen Medien haben zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen und stellen nicht zuletzt auch im Kontext des russischen Überfalls auf die Ukraine eine unregulierte Informationsquelle zu politischen Themen dar. Bislang man…
The disappearance of land use from UNFCCC decisions
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) plays a pivotal role in shaping global environmental policies, yet a topic analysis of UNFCCC decisions reveals variations in the emphasis on distinct topics each year. This study critically examines all UNFCCC decisions from COP1 in 1995 to COP28 in 2023, along with decisions of the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement. We utilize a form of Natural Language Processing called Guided…
Kinder- und Jugendpartizipation aus der Sicht von Bildungsakteur
Die Umsetzung von Partizipationsmöglichkeiten für Kinder- und Jugendliche im außerschulischen Bildungsbereich hängt in relevantem Maße von den Bestrebungen erwachsener Akteur:innen ab. Ausgehend von dieser Annahme beschäftigen wir uns im vorliegenden Beitrag mit der Frage, welche Partizipationsverständnisse von Bildungsakteur:innen vertreten werden. Zu diesem Zwecke führten wir 18 Interviews mit Akteur:innen aus insgesamt vier Kommunen. Sie alle …
Between capacity development and contestation
Education in international climate pledges – identifying education framings in countries nationally determined contributions (NDCs)
Although education is acknowledged as an important tool to address climate change, only some countries refer to education within their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Using a mixed-methods approach, we explore the question of how countries frame education within their climate pledges. First, we examine NDCs with a discourse network analysis (DNA) to identify country framings of education and climate change and potential discourse coal…
Typologie junger Menschen im Kontext des Kriegs in der Ukraine
Eine starke demokratische Kultur ist entscheidend für den Erhalt einer funktionierenden Demokratie. Die Perspektiven junger Menschen bezüglich politischer Maßnahmen spielen dabei eine bedeutende Rolle, da sie Tendenzen der Bevölkerung erkennen lassen und gerade in Krisenzeiten herausgefordert werden. Die Bewertung politischer Maßnahmen hängt eng mit soziodemografischen Faktoren zusammen. Um die Herausbildung potenziell demokratiegefährdender Mein…
Determinants of belief in conspiracy theories about the war in Ukraine among youth
Conspiracy theories are particularly prevalent in times of crisis and pose a major threat to democracy. Young people are especially susceptible to conspiracy theories, as this period is characterized by high social vulnerability and constant reflection on one's position in society. However, to date little is known about the determinants of young people's belief in conspiracy theories in general and in times of crisis in particular. In this study,…

Wissensproduktion, Wissensmobilisierung und Wissenstransfer. Chancen und Grenzen der Entwicklung von Wissenschaft und Praxis
Wie sieht das Verhältnis von Wissenschaft und Praxis aus? Wie gelangt Forschungswissen in die Praxis? In den letzten Jahren mehren sich die Forderungen, das Verhältnis von Wissenschaft und Praxis stärker zu untersuchen, um einen „Transfer“ von Forschungswissen in die Praxis zu ermöglichen. Ziel des Bandes ist es, das komplexe Feld der Relationierung von Forschung und Praxis zu systematisieren. Die Beiträge erörtern, wie Forschungs- und Entwicklun…
Trust in cross-sector alliances
In recent years, partnerships between schools and non-system actors, that is, cross-sector alliances, have become increasingly important in education systems around the world, raising concerns and doubts regarding the influence of non-school actors in educational management and leadership. In these debates, trust is regarded as a key element for the success of cross-sector alliances. Although both trust and cross-sector alliances have been increa…

Social networks and anthropogenic climate change
Governing roles? Integrating philanthropic foundations with governance boards in German educational collaborative networks
Educational collaborative networks (ECNs), as instruments for achieving educational goals through the integration of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), have become frequent elements of public education worldwide. Despite their contribution of additional resources to the education enterprise, the roles of philanthropic foundations in ECNs are particularly controversial. Research suggests that leaders of ECNs such as policy makers, administrato…
Questioning the rhetoric
Entrepreneurship education is increasingly prominent in university and school curricula worldwide, following its intensive advocacy by intergovernmental organisations and national governments as a remedy for the urgent pressures to better prepare students for today’s globalised and highly competitive workplace. This study analyses the official policy documents of two of the most influential intergovernmental organisations – the European Union and…
Youth participation in global policy networks on climate change
Expectations of Cross-Sector Collaboration in Cultural and Arts Education
The promotion of dialogues between youth and older adults in the field of cultural education remains one of the most important educational policy tasks in Germany. After all, intergenerational, cultural projects can make an important contribution to reducing ageism, promoting personal development, and dealing with social challenges. Close collaboration between actors from different sectors (school, cultural associations, administration, etc.) is …
The Power of Places in Building Cultural and Arts Education Networks and Cooperation in Rural Areas
Volunteering plays a central role in cultural and arts education in rural areas in Germany. However, a decrease in the number of volunteers in structurally weak regions can be observed in recent years. This poses existential challenges for cultural and arts education. The promotion of social networks and regional cooperation, as well as a sense of place, can counteract this decline. This article aims to explore how sense of place influence cooper…
You Know Them All’—Trust, Cooperation, and Cultural Volunteering in Rural Areas in Germany
(1) Background: Rural areas are characterised by a higher number of volunteers compared to urban centres in Germany. In this context, cultural and arts education is one of the largest voluntary sectors. However, an increasing decline in (cultural) volunteering can be observed. To counteract the decrease, it is important to strengthen regional cooperation and social networks, which are based on trust. The connection between trust, volunteering, an…
Exploring the hidden influence of international treaty secretariats
While there is little doubt that international public administrations (IPAs) exert autonomous influence on international policy outputs, scholars struggle with the problem of how to measure this influence. Established methods for assessing political influence are of limited use when focusing on international bureaucracies. The main reason is that IPAs do not explicitly state their policy preferences. Instead, they tend to present themselves as ne…
Brokering Climate Action
Our article aims to better understand the role of the secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in the increasingly complex global climate governance structure. We employ an innovative approach to addressing this issue by systematically examining the climate secretariat’s relations with the main groups of actors involved in this policy domain, in particular with nonparty actors. In a first step, we use soci…
The Power of Social Networks
Despite the relevance of education-specific negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the influential role of the secretariat therein, research in this area is still scarce. We contribute to closing this research gap by exploring how the UNFCCC secretariat becomes involved in and has latent influence on the education-specific debates surrounding global climate conferences and the related information…
The rise of global policy networks in education
With the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), inclusive education has become the main alternative to special schools for the schooling of children with disabilities. In order to promote the global implementation of inclusive education, a variety of stakeholders form networks to transmit and exchange information and knowledge concerning political strategies. However, little is known about the actors and actor groups involv…
International Public Administrations on Twitter
International organizations and their secretariats, called international public administrations (IPAs), have been found to hold considerable authority in world politics. This study conceptualizes and measures IPA authority in the digital sphere. It proposes the concept of digital authority to measure the authority of actors in online social networks (OSN), such as Twitter. Applying exponential random graph models (ERGMs) based on Twitter data dur…
Uncovering influence through Social Network Analysis
This paper examines the implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in Germany and explores the possibilities of Social Network Analysis (SNA) for uncovering influential actors in educational policy innovation processes. From the theoretical perspective, an actor’s influence is inferred from its relative position within issue-specific information flows and the trust placed in its capacities and expertise, instead of relying on a…
Between Mandate and Motivation
International public administrations ( IPA s) play a significant role for the success of multilateral negotiations. As the bureaucratic bodies of international organizations, they are deeply involved in international negotiations, but receive little credit for their outcomes. By studying the administrative styles of the Secretariat of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ), this article arrives at an understanding of how this IP…
How (German) foundations shape the concept of education
In this article I examine how foundations use the concept of education and how they try to shape its definition and implementation. In accordance with Steven Lukes’ notion, I argue that changes in social fields are mainly triggered by normative and semantic shifts. By drawing on techniques of discourse analysis, I explore the use of discursive strategies and the discursive interpretations of education, as both its definition and its operationaliz…

Teacher collaboration networks as a function of type of collaboration and schools’ structural environment
Interconnected bureaucracies? Comparing online and offline networks during global climate negotiations
Measuring the influence of international public administrations has traditionally been conducted with ‘offline’ data, using interviews, surveys or official documents. However, an emerging strand of the literature argues that influence can also be observed ‘online’, with data based on online social networks, such as Twitter. Our contribution aims at bringing these two strands closer together. We triangulate offline data from a large-N survey with …

Social network analysis in innovation research
The importance of social networks for innovation diffusion and processes of social change is widely recognized in many areas of practice and scientific disciplines. Social networks have the potential to influence learning processes, provide opportunities for problem-solving, and establish new ideas. Thus, they can foster synergy effects, bring together key resources such as know-how of participating actors, and promote innovation diffusion. There…

A matter of information – The influence of international bureaucracies in global climate governance networks
Cultural Education
Cultural education has recently been particularly emphasized as key for the promotion of equal opportunities, social cohesion and political engagement. While the relationship between political engagement and formal education has been extensively discussed, little research has been conducted on non‐formal types of education, such as non‐formal cultural education (NCE) in particular. However, the share of NCE programmes is becoming increasingly imp…
Post-secularism muting controversy
Elaborating on stakeholder salience theory, this study aims to explore the different agendas and modus operandi of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) within the Israeli public education system. This article is part of a larger study, focused on NGOs that offer services within the secular state education sector in the field of ‘Jewish (religious) identity.’ Through a case study of one such organisation in particular comprised of several units, …

The emergence of a global innovation in education
Since the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), far-reaching efforts have been made to implement ESD worldwide. While ESD seems increasingly to be diffused as a social innovation related to environmental education, we still know little about how the concept is implemented through social relations and what role trust plays in this process. This article applies descriptive and inferential techniques of social network analysis to…
The Global Diffusion of Social Innovations – An Analysis of Twitter Communication Networks Related to Inclusive Education
In recent decades, different social innovations – such as lifelong learning, inclusion or Education for Sustainable Development – have had a huge impact on domestic education systems. In an increasingly globalized world, innovations diffuse across national borders. At the same time, diffusion processes seem to be highly influenced by public and private actors, e.g., international organizations (IOs) or non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Both …
Environment-related education topics within global citizenship education scholarship focused on teachers
Intergovernmental organizations (IOs) increasingly promote global citizenship education (GCE) and related topics. This paper analyses the body of scholarship on GCE that focuses on teachers and interprets the development of environment-related education (ERE) within the GCE discourse. Using a novel, data-rich methodology employing Natural Language Processing and Social Network Analysis, we trace how ERE is represented within the GCE scholarship a…

Regional Patterns of Access and Participation in Non-Formal Cultural Education in Germany
(1) Background: The equality of life chances in Germany is often assessed along the lines of a west/east and urban/rural differentiation in which the latter usually perform worse. One currently popular proposal for addressing these inequalities is to strengthen cultural and arts education. The question arises to what extent regional characteristics genuinely influence participation opportunities and to what extent individual resources still play …
Education in times of global crisis
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led to enormous societal changes worldwide and touched many different areas of daily life. One of the most serious restrictions to contain the pandemic was the closure of schools and kindergartens. Particularly in countries with comparatively low levels of digitalization in schools, this situation opened up opportunities for private actors to gain importance and influence in the education sector. For this art…
