The Government – Civil Society Relationship Dichotomy
While intergovernmental bodies are increasingly worried about their members not upholding basic principles like the rule of law, national governments are reluctant to grant CSOs the independence needed to pursue their mission. This is particularly visible when it comes to govrnment grants to CSOs. This paper presents Germany as a case study
Contested Civic Spaces in Liberal Democracies
In this introductory essay for the special issue on contested spaces in liberal democracies, we review how and to what extent the closing or shrinking space debate that has influenced the civil society discourse in authoritarian contexts presents an appropriate mode of analysis for similar, disconcerting developments that have been observed in liberal democracies. In particular, recent changes in Germany, Austria, Israel, and Greece are covered i…
A Contested Civic Space
Der bürgerschaftliche Raum ist in der politischen Wissenschaft zwar keine Neuentdeckung, aber hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten besonders in Deutschland nicht die Aufmerksamkeit erfahren, die er verdient hätte. Er droht, heute einerseits von Kräften gekapert zu werden, die ihn für undemokratische Ziele instrumentalisieren wollen, während andererseits verkannt oder sogar abgestritten wird, dass seine Stärke die Voraussetzung für die Entwicklung der D…
Religious Communities and Civil Society in Europe
The seemingly vitalizing impact of religiosity on civil society is a research topic that has been extensively looked into, not only in the USA, but increasingly also in a European context. What is missing is an evaluation of the role of institutionalized religious communities, and of circumstances that facilitate or impede their status as civil society organisations. This anthology in 2 volumes aims at closing this gap by providing case studies r…
Engagement und Einfluss
Zivilgesellschaft und Engagement konvivialistisch gedacht
Von der katholischen Soziallehre zur umfassenden Subsidiarität. Anmerkungen zu einer demokratietheoretischen Entwicklung
Das Prinzip der Subsidiarität gilt traditionell als theoretisches Axiom der katholischen Soziallehre und Grundlage des Verhältnisses zwischen Staat und nicht-staatlichen Akteuren in Deutschland und in jüngster Zeit als Teil des Kanons im Verhältnis unterschiedlicher politischer Ebenen zueinander. Der Beitrag problematisiert diesen Ansatz und versucht zu zeigen, dass zum einen zwischen einem liberalen, personalen Ansatz der umfassenden Subsidiarit…
The Role of Foundations in Public Debates in Germany
Why is the German foundations model different from the U.S. model? Does it have to do with the long and surprisingly unbroken history of foundations in Germany or rather with differences in the role of the state? Whatever the answer, this has enormous repercussions on what foundations may achieve in helping to shape public debates. Using Hirschman's model of loyalty, voice, and exit, and a definition of foundations based on seven different functi…
Bürgerstiftungen in Deutschland
The third sector and political ideologies
In talking about ideologies, an outside view of Germany will commonly resort to Nazism and/or Communism. However, in discussing the third sector, neither of these will offer adequate reasoning for the present-day embeddedness of the sector. On the contrary, since both were destined to be historically surpassed, the former after only 12 years, they can present interesting case studies on the relationship between an independent sector and a totalit…
Stiftungen nach der Stunde Null
Studying the history of German foundations since 1945 meets wth a number of methodological difficulties. Empirical and historical studies have been very rare for nearly a century. The paper therefore concentrates on a number of post-1945 creations and asks whether they may be seen as matching the development of an overall conception of civic engagement. It shows that donors gradually move from strict subservience to the state to a vision of an in…
