A revolt of the distrustful? Political trust, political protest and the democratic deficit
During recent crises in Europe, new heterogeneous protest movements have emerged that are difficult to label and classify. Existing studies suggest that the common denominator of these protesters is primarily the lack of political trust. Therefore, these new protest movements offer favourable conditions for investigating the relationship between political trust and protest disposition, and the consequences of political distrust for attitudes on d…
Sicherheit in turbulenten Zeiten: Herausforderungen für die Bildung
Wir befinden uns in einem neuen Zeitalter der Unsicherheit, das geprägt ist von neuen zivilisatorischen Unsicherheiten, multiplen Krisen und Kriegen. Sicherheit kann in einer so unsicheren und turbulenten Welt nicht mehr über kompensatorische Politiken alleine hergestellt werden, sie muss vor allem über individuelle Befähigung geschaffen werden. Deshalb sollte Bildungspolitik im 21. Jahrhundert den gleichen Stellenwert bekommen, den die Sozialpol…

Article Zivilgesellschaft macht Bildung – Bürgerschaftliches Engagement in kommunalen Bildungslandschaften was published on November 30, 2024 in the journal Forschungsjournal Soziale Bewegungen (volume 37, issue 4)
Civil Society, Cleavage Structures, and Democracy in Germany
This article analyses the consequences of recent changes in cleavage structures in German society for civil society, democracy, and social cohesion. It argues that the emergence of a new 'demarcation-integration' cleavage has politicised civil society in Germany in several ways. As a result, the role of civil society for the future development of German democracy has become highly ambivalent. The article is organised into four parts. First, recen…
Zivilgesellschaft in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland: Aufbrüche, Umbrüche, Ausblicke
Welche Bedeutung hatte die Zivilgesellschaft für die Entwicklung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland? Wie hat sie sich gewandelt und vor welchen Herausforderungen steht sie? Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes aus Wissenschaft, Politik und Praxis nehmen zivilgesellschaftliche Schlüsselakteure wie Gewerkschaften, soziale Bewegungen und Kirchen in den Blick und fragen nach ihrer Rolle in den Aufbruch- und Umbruchphasen der Bundesrepublik. Denn der wirtschaft…
Politicizing Europe in Elections to the European Parliament (1994–2019): The Crucial Role of Mainstream Parties
Based on original data, this article analyses the politicization of European issues in European elections. Contrary to scholarly expectations, our findings show a higher level of politicization of European issues compared to national elections. However, politicization has been declining in both electoral arenas from the early 2000s until 2014 despite the increasing visibility of radical Eurosceptic parties. This paper suggests that this decline i…
Politicizing immigration in Western Europe
Immigration has become a hot topic in West European politics. The factors responsible for the intensification of political conflict on this issue are a matter of considerable controversy. This holds in particular for the role of socio-economic factors and of radical right populist parties. This article explores the politicization of immigration issues and its driving forces in the electoral arena. It is based on a comparative study using both med…
Zivilgesellschaft, politischer Konflikt und soziale Bewegungen
Der Beitrag untersucht die Beziehungen zwischen Zivilgesellschaft, Demokratie und gesellschaftlichem Zusammenhalt. Er argumentiert, dass die Rolle der Zivilgesellschaft in diesem Beziehungsgeflecht ambivalent ist. Für den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt und die Qualität demokratischen Regierens ist nicht nur die Stärke der Zivilgesellschaft entscheidend, wichtiger noch sind die normative Orientierung der Zivilgesellschaft, ihre innere Struktur un…
Politicising Europe: Integration and Mass Politics
Politicising Europe presents the most comprehensive contribution to empirical research on politicisation to date. The study is innovative in both conceptual and empirical terms. Conceptually, the contributors develop and apply a new index and typology of politicisation. Empirically, the volume presents a huge amount of original data, tracing politicisation in a comparative perspective over more than forty years. Focusing on six European countries…
Introduction: European integration and the challenge of politicisation
Politicising Europe – why bother? Politicisation has become a key concept in European integration studies. Since the mid 2000s, it has been the object of an intense and controversial scholarly debate. The rise of politicisation as a topic in research on Europe certainly reflects current problems and challenges of the European integration process. The failure of the Constitutional Treaty, increasing Euroscepticism among citizens, the successes of …
Beyond authority transfer: Explaining the politicisation of Europe
While there is increasing evidence that European integration has been politicised, knowledge of the driving forces of this process is still limited. This article contributes to the research by examining the importance of authority transfers to the EU as drivers of politicisation. It innovates in two ways. First, it extends the authority transfer argument by highlighting the mobilising power of membership conflicts; second, it analyses the relevan…

Politicizing Europe in the National Electoral Arena: A Comparative Analysis of Five West E uropean Countries, 1970–2010
Although politicization has become a key concept in E uropean integration studies, it is still contested whether, when and to what extent E uropean issues have become politicized in domestic political arenas. This article contributes to this discussion both in conceptual and empirical terms. It uses a new multidimensional index of politicization to systematically trace the development of politicization in national election campaigns in five West …

The Politicization of Europe: A Cosmopolitan Project
Political Conflict in Western Europe
What are the consequences of globalization for the structure of political conflicts in Western Europe? How are political conflicts organized and articulated in the twenty-first century? And how does the transformation of territorial boundaries affect the scope and content of political conflicts? This book sets out to answer these questions by analyzing the results of a study of national and European electoral campaigns, protest events and public …
Varieties of second modernity: The Cosmopolitan Turn in Social and Political Theory and Research
The theme of this special issue is the necessity of a cosmopolitan turn in social and political theory. The question at the heart of this introductory chapter takes the challenge of 'methodological cosmopolitanism', already addressed in a Special Issue on Cosmopolitan Sociology in this journal (Beck and Sznaider 2006), an important step further: How can social and political theory be opened up, theoretically as well as methodologically and normat…

West European Politics in the Age of Globalization
Over the past three decades the effects of globalization and denationalization have created a division between 'winners' and 'losers' in Western Europe. This study examines the transformation of party political systems in six countries (Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK) using opinion surveys, as well as newly collected data on election campaigns. The authors argue that, as a result of structural transformations an…
Kosmopolitismus — Europas Weg aus der Krise
AuszugEuropa steckt in der Krise: institutionell, wirtschaftlich und politisch — und das nicht erst seit den gescheiterten Verfassungsreferenden in Frankreich und den Niederlanden! Europa hatte sich längst zuvor in eine Sackgasse manövriert. Mit dem Maastrichter Vertrag war es zu Beginn der neunziger Jahre zwar gelungen, die wirtschaftliche Integration weitgehend zu vollenden, über die gleichzeitig angestrebte politische Integration konnte aber w…
Reflexive Modernisierung des Staates
In diesem Beitrag wird gezeigt, wie die soziologische Theorie reflexiver Modernisierung für die Analyse des gegenwärtigen Wandels des modernen Staates genutzt werden kann. Mit Hilfe dieser Theorie wird die These begründet, dass der derzeit ablaufende Wandel von Staatlichkeit epochalen Charakter besitzt; modernen Gegenwartsgesellschaften werden in der Tat konfrontiert mit einem epochalen Bruchs ihrer politischer Herrschaftsordnung. Dabei handelt e…

Cosmopolitanism: Europe's Way Out of Crisis
If Europe wants to overcome its current crisis, it urgently needs to develop a new political vision and a new concept for political integration. By focusing on the idea of a cosmopolitan Europe, this article outlines such a political vision for Europe. To this end, it first suggests reformulating the concept of cosmopolitanism in such a way that it is not tied to the 'cosmos' or the 'globe'. With the aid of such a generalized concept of cosmopoli…
Globalization and the transformation of the national political space: Six European countries compared
This article starts from the assumption that the current process of globalization or denationalization leads to the formation of a new structural conflict in Western European countries, opposing those who benefit from this process against those who tend to lose in the course of the events. The structural opposition between globalization ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ is expected to constitute potentials for political mobilization within national politica…
Cosmopolitan political science
Until recently, the term cosmopolitism could rarely be found in modern political science literature. It was only in the 1990s that the term was rediscovered by political scientists in the critical discourse on globalization. In this article, I will explore the full potential of cosmopolitism as an analytical concept for empirical political science. I will argue that the concept of cosmopolitism should not be restricted to the analysis of global p…

Beyond delegation: Transnational Regulatory Regimes and the Eu Regulatory State
This article investigates the allocation of regulatory authority in the EU. By introducing the concept of a 'regulatory regime', it criticizes not only earlier accounts of the EU 'regulatory state', but also current delegation approaches. As a starting point, it identifies a dilemma for the EU regulatory policy. Despite the rising need for uniform EU-level rules in the internal market, the bulk of formal powers and the institutional focus of regu…
The state and interest groups in a framework of multi‐level decision‐making: The case of the European Union
After years of relative neglect, the role of private interest groups in European policy‐making has attracted the attention of students of European integration once again. However, research on this subject suffers from the fact that the institutional peculiarities of the European Union, especially the integration of decision‐making levels, have not been taken into account sufficiently. The crucial question addressed in this article is how the Euro…

Corporatism in Crisis: Stability and Change of Social Partnership in Austria
While recent developments in Western Europe provide numerous examples of the instability and decay of corporatist arrangements in the face of economic crisis, Austrian social partnership still exhibits remarkable stability. The article tries to explain this stability of corporatist politics in Austria. The Austrian case is also used to demonstrate some limitations of the academic literature on the breakdown of corporatism. However, stability in t…

The new role of the state in telecommunications: An international comparison
The role of the state in telecommunications has changed significantly in the last decade. The old PTT model, characterised by a public administration with exclusive rights, has been replaced by a new institutional arrangement in most advanced industrial countries. The direct provision of services by the state has been cut back and commercialised, and public monopolies have given way to private activities. This retreat of the state, however, is on…

Neoconservatism and conservative‐liberal economic policy in West Germany
This article outlines the development of contemporary German conservatism, its renaissance in the 1970s and its (partial) transformation into neoconservatism in the 1980s. Its purpose is to explain, in the case of economic‐ and social policy, one of the subjects most relevant within the neoconservative discourse – why the impact of neoconservative ideology on the policies of the conservative‐liberal government since 1982 has remained weak. The fi…

Institutionelle Bedingungen ordnungspolitischen Strategiewechsels im internationalen Vergleich
Seit dem Ende der 70er Jahre sind in verschiedenen westlichen Ländern Regierungen unter sozialdemokratischer Führung (oder mit starker sozialdemokratischer Beteiligung) durch solche mit „neokonservativer“ Programmatik abgelöst worden.1 Mit diesem Terminus bezeichnen wir hier Parteien, die mit der erklärten Absicht angetreten sind, das Verhältnis von Politik und Ökonomie, wie es sich in den westlichen „Wohlfahrtsstaaten“ insbesondere nach dem Zwei…
