Boundaries of citizenship: Federal perspectives and democratic minimum standards in the EU
In recent decades, we have witnessed a growing mismatch between systemic interdependencies and political structures as well as political identities, calling for strategies to cope and create new systems of policymaking above and beyond the nation state. In this context, the traditional bounded concept of citizenship has increasingly been put into question. The paper asks whether multilevel conceptions of citizenship can offer a response to the do…
Constituting European Citizenship: Struggles for Political Empowerment in the EU
The constituted legal status of “Union citizenship” has added another democratic static to the European Union's institutional architecture but it is not yet a status of full political empowerment. What is missing is a citizen-centered opening-up of the (technocratically disguised) European level as a political arena. This article argues that the idea of European citizenship can function as a normative reference point for struggles of political em…
The Conference on the Future of Europe as a chance for democratic catching up? Towards a citizen-centred perspective on constitutional renewal in the European Union
The Conference on the Future of Europe (CoFoE) was the first initiative to include citizens in deliberations about the future of European democracy since the failed Constitutional Convention of 2002/03. Although embedded within broader trends to involve ordinary citizens in the political process, it is of specific relevance in the European context because it raises expectations of democratic catching up and relates to ongoing discussions and stru…
The Democratic Impact of Strengthening European Fundamental Rights in the Digital Age: The Example of Privacy Protection
In times of digital pervasion of everyday life, the EU has strengthened a normative idea of European fundamental rights, especially by referring to a strong notion of privacy protection. A normative corridor is evolving with the “right to privacy” at its heart, a right that will be instrumental in shaping the European legal architecture’s future structure. In this Article we argue that the constitutional protection of privacy rights is not only o…
Reframing political space. Pro-European mobilisation and the enactment of european citizenship
This article asks how pro-European activism relates to the idea of European citizenship. Its ambition is to evaluate recent mobilisations in light of an activist understanding of citizenship and relate them to a broader dynamic of reframing political space. Despite its ambivalent founding in market integration, EU citizenship as a legal status has a political potential which has hardly been sufficiently discussed. Exploring the performative as we…
Normative Paradoxes of Privacy: Literacy and Choice in Platform Societies
Privacy scholars, advocates, and activists repeatedly emphasize the fact that current measures of privacy protection are insufficient to counter the systemic threats presented by datafication and platformization (van Dijck, de Waal, and Poell 2018: 24). These threats include discrimination against underprivileged groups, monopolization of power and knowledge, as well as manipulation. In this paper, we take that analysis one step further, suggesti…
Linking loose ends: An interdisciplinary privacy and communication model
In the recent decades, privacy scholarship has made significant progress. Most of it was achieved in monodisciplinary works. However, privacy has a deeply interdisciplinary nature. Most importantly, societies as well as individuals experience privacy as being influenced by legal, technical, and social norms and structures. In this article, we hence attempt to connect insights of different academic disciplines into a joint model, an Interdisciplin…
Die Stärkung europäischer Grundrechte im digitalen Zeitalter: Demokratiepolitische Potentiale am Beispiel des Privatheitsschutzes
The culture industry revisited: Sociophilosophical reflections on ‘privacy’ in the digital age
Digital communication now pervades all spheres of life, creating new possibilities for commodification: personal data and communication are the new resources of surplus value. This in turn brings about a totally new category of threats to privacy. With recourse to the culture industry critique of early critical theory, this article seeks to challenge basic theoretical assumptions held within a liberal account of privacy. It draws the attention to…
Toward a Comparative Measure of Climate Policy Output
Comparative policy studies face a number of methodological challenges where conceptualization of the object of comparison—policy output—is the most fundamental. On the basis of three common approaches of the study of policy output, we reconsider this widely applied concept and propose a refined measure as a function of both density (number of policy instruments) and intensity (content of policy instruments). We theoretically derive six policy‐int…
Dynamics of Modern Citizenship Democracy and Peopleness in a Global Era
The innovativeness of national policy portfolios - climate policy change in Austria, Germany, and the UK
To determine whether innovations in policy concerning climate-change mitigation are symbolic or truly radical in the sense of 'tipping' existing policy portfolios towards a new instrumental logic, we study policy innovations in the context of pre-existing policy portfolios and analyse the associated dynamics over time. Our analysis is facilitated by a new measurement of policy output, the Index of Climate Policy Activity. This new approach sheds …
Privatheit und Öffentlichkeit heute: Ein Problemaufriss
Die Grenzen zwischen dem Privaten und dem Öffentlichen sind notorisch umstritten: Einerseits gilt das Private als normativ schutzwürdig weil es die Verwirklichung von Autonomie ermöglicht. Andererseits ist die Grenzziehung Ausdruck gesellschaftlicher Machtverhältnisse und kann deshalb immer wieder neu zum Gegenstand öffentlicher Auseinandersetzung gemacht werden
Die Grenzen des Privaten
