Der lange Schatten der DDR? Zum Zusammenhang von ehemaliger Systemnähe und aktuellen politischen Orientierungen von Ostdeutschen
Ostdeutsche gelten als besonders unzufrieden mit der Demokratie, migrationsfeindlich und dem Rechtspopulismus zugeneigt. Oft werden diese Orientierungen durch Sozialisationseffekte des DDR-Systems erklärt. Wir betrachten die Position im politischen System der DDR als wichtigen Differenzierungsfaktor. Konkret untersuchen wir, wie stark sich ehemalige Staatsnahe, Dissidenten & Protestierende und die schweigende Mehrheit hinsichtlich ihrer aktuellen…
Bodenständige gegen Weltoffene? Lebensführung und Polarisierung in Deutschland
Der Beitrag untersucht, ob und wie stark die Lebensführung sozialer Gruppen mit ihren Einstellungen zu zentralen politischen Konfliktthemen zusammenhängt. In den sozialwissenschaftlichen Diskussionen zu neuen gesellschaftlichen Spaltungslinien wird postuliert, dass in Konflikten um Migration, Klimaschutz oder sexuelle Diversität gesellschaftliche Gruppen mit grundverschiedenen Identitäten, Werten und Lebensweisen aufeinanderprallen. Obwohl derlei…
Why do Public Debates Escalate? Trigger Points and the Moral Dynamics of “Hot Politics”
Escalating, emotionally charged, and moralized forms of controversy are a central feature of contemporary politics. Our study develops a framework for understanding how political debates between ordinary citizens become heated; why certain issues provoke particularly strong emotions; and how this affective potential is weaponized by "polarization entrepreneurs" in politics and the media. Based on an analysis of focus group discussions conducted i…
Das Klima der Ungleichheit. Zur sozialen Struktur von Klimakonflikten
Der Beitrag kartiert, wie Klimakonflikte mit Formen sozialer Ungleichheit verwoben sind. In Erweiterung der Arbeiten von Dörre et al. zu betrieblichen Transformationskonflikten werden vier Formen gesellschaftlicher Ungleichheit herausgearbeitet, die in Auseinandersetzungen um das Klima virulent werden: die ungleiche Verursachung von Klimaschäden, die ungleichen Betroffenheiten, die ungleichen Transformationslasten und die ungleichen ökologischen …

Ost- und Westdeutsche für immer? Zu Wahrnehmungen von Unterschieden und Konflikten zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschen
Die Unterschiede und Ungleichheiten zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschland wurden nach der Deutschen Einheit als Übergangsstadium verstanden; insbesondere Mentalitätsunterschiede sollten sich im Laufe der Jahre angleichen. Der Beitrag analysiert, wie Ost- und Westdeutsche das Verhältnis zueinander wahrnehmen und inwiefern sich hier Kohortenunterschiede zeigen. Konzeptionell unterscheiden wir drei zentrale Hypothesen, die jeweils eigene empirische Must…
Walls, Barriers, Checkpoints, No-man’s-land. A Typology of Border Infrastructure on the African Continent
Border regions across the globe: Analyzing border typologies, economic and political disparities, and development dynamics
The cosmopolitan dream of a borderless world has little to do with reality. Today's borders bear witness to regulatory intervention in the circulation of goods, information, capital and people. These interventions, naturally, have an impact at border regions. For analyzing these impacts, we map, quantify and relate border typologies, development dynamics near borders, and economic and political indicators of neighboring nation-states. We do so on…

Digitale Scorings als Statusmarker. Eine ungleichheitssoziologische Annäherung
Dieser Beitrag nimmt die zunehmende Verbreitung von Scorings zum Anlass, um nach deren Rolle bei der Zuweisung von Status, der Verteilung von Lebenschancen und der Hervorbringung von Ungleichheiten zu fragen. Ausgehend von einer Definition von Scorings und einer allgemeinen Typologisierung wird dargestellt, wie Scorings sowohl als Statusanzeiger wie auch als Statusgeneratoren wirksam werden. Die Analyse ergibt, dass sich auch neue Formen der inve…
Interview: Steffen Mau and Helmut K. Anheier
In this interview, Steffen Mau and Helmut K. Anheier discuss Professor Mau’s writing on postcommunist East Germany, the nature of modern borders, the quantification of the social, and the current state of the social sciences. They explore the lingering social cleavages in unified Germany, discuss how borders have expanded and transformed since the end of the Cold War, and ask what changes are needed to keep the social sciences relevant for the tw…
Grenzen erkunden: Grenzinfrastrukturen und die Rolle fortifizierter Grenzen im globalen Kontext
Sortiermaschinen: Die Neuerfindung der Grenze im 21. Jahrhundert
Der kosmopolitische Traum von einer grenzenlosen Welt hat in den letzten Jahren tiefe Risse bekommen. Aber war er überhaupt jemals realistisch? Steffen Mau zeigt, dass Grenzen im Zeitalter der Globalisierung von Anbeginn nicht offener gestaltet, sondern zu machtvollen Sortiermaschinen umgebaut wurden. Während ein kleiner Kreis Privilegierter heute nahezu überallhin reisen darf, bleibt die große Mehrheit der Weltbevölkerung weiterhin systematisch …
Neue Ungleichheitsfragen, neue Cleavages? Ein internationaler Vergleich der Einstellungen in vier Ungleichheitsfeldern
Der Beitrag fragt vor dem Hintergrund neuer gesellschaftlicher Konfliktthemen nach der sozialstrukturellen Fundierung von Ungleichheitseinstellungen. Es werden vier Ungleichheitsachsen in den Blick genommen: (1) Oben-Unten-Ungleichheiten, bei denen die ökonomische Ressourcenverteilung im Mittelpunkt steht, (2) Innen-Außen-Ungleichheiten, die sich auf territorialen Zugang, Migration und Mitgliedschaft beziehen, (3) Wir-Sie-Ungleichheiten, die die …
Die drei Arenen der neuen Ungleichheitskonflikte. Eine sozialstrukturelle Positionsbestimmung der Einstellungen zu Umverteilung, Migration und sexueller Diversität
In vielen westlichen Gesellschaften wird die Verteilungsfrage wieder stärker diskutiert. Mit den Debatten um Identitätspolitik und Migration sind aber weitere Konflikte in den Vordergrund getreten, sodass nicht mehr nur materielle Ungleichheitsfragen im Fokus stehen. In den wissenschaftlichen und publizistischen Debatten ist häufig von einer neuen Lagerbildung die Rede, bei der sich die bessergestellten Gruppen für Migration und die Anerkennung v…
Legitimizing Inequality: The Moral Repertoires of Meritocracy in Four Countries
Do people in different countries understand and frame the principle of meritocracy differently? This question is the starting point for this cross-national analysis of the moral repertoires of meritocracy in four countries: Germany, Norway, Slovenia and the United Kingdom. The authors pursue a mixed methods approach, using data from the European Social Survey 2016 and qualitative data from group discussions. In these discussions, citizens openly …
Regimes, Social Risks and the Welfare Mix: Unpacking Attitudes to Pensions and Childcare in Germany and the UK Through Deliberative Forums
Modern welfare regimes rest on a range of actors - state, market, family/households, employers and charities - but austerity programmes diminish the contribution of the state. While changes in this 'welfare mix' require support from the population, attitude studies have focused mainly on people's views on state responsibilities, using welfare regime theory to explain differences. This paper contributes to our understanding of the welfare mix by i…
Metric Society: On the Quantification of the Social
Metric Society: On the Quantification of the Social
Numbers matter! The society of indicators, scores and ratings
The process of quantification is a powerful development shaping many domains of life today. In the area of education, for example, performance measurement, testing and ranking have become common tools of governance. Quantification is not a neutral way of describing society, but a process of valorisation. It has three sociologically relevant effects. Firstly, the availability of quantitative data strengthens social comparisons. Secondly, quantitat…
Moral economies of the welfare state: A qualitative comparative study
This paper uses innovative democratic forums carried out in Germany, Norway, and the United Kingdom to examine people's ideas about welfare-state priorities and future prospects. We use a moral economy framework in the context of regime differences and the move towards neo-liberalism across Europe. Broadly speaking, attitudes reflect regime differences, with distinctive emphasis on reciprocity and the value of work in Germany, inclusion and equal…
Changing preferences towards redistribution: How deliberation shapes welfare attitudes
The article departs from the argument that research on welfare attitudes is, so far, dominated by large‐scale survey‐studies, which allow for generalizable insights into citizens' preferences and evaluations, but are necessarily limited in their ability to capture the dynamic and contextual aspects of attitude formation. In order to broaden the horizon of welfare attitudes' research, this article introduces a new qualitative method, namely delibe…

Moral Economy
Moral economy can be defined as a common notion of the just distribution of resources and social exchange. The concept has been developed and is used in the context of political and social analysis to understand, for example, various systems of social exchange or instances of rebellion. It is claimed that social communities tend to invoke a moral repertoire for all kinds of social exchanges and transfers that leads them to distinguish between leg…
Migration and welfare state solidarity in Western Europe
In recent decades Western Europe has had to face increasing migration levels resulting in a more diverse population. As a direct consequence, the question of adequate inclusion of immigrants into the welfare state has arisen. At the same time it has been asked whether the inclusion of non-nationals or migrants into the welfare state may undermine the solidaristic basis and legitimacy of welfare state redistribution. Citizens who are in general po…
Globalization, socio-economic status and welfare chauvinism: European perspectives on attitudes toward the exclusion of immigrants
This article addresses the question of whether globalization impacts individual preferences to exclude immigrants from national welfare systems (‘welfare chauvinism’). Intergroup contact theory and arguments from the ‘new cosmopolitanism’ debate suggest that cross-border social contacts (‘social globalization’) foster a willingness to include and accept newcomers. However, group conflict theory suggests that trade openness (‘economic globalizatio…
Cosmopolitan attitudes through transnational social practices
Within the scope of the debate surrounding globalization, ever increasing attention is being directed to the growth of border-crossing social relations and the emergence of transnational social spaces on the micro-level. In particular, the question of how these border-crossing interrelations influence the attitudes and values of the people involved causes some controversy. Some assume that the increasing trans-nationalization of social relations …

The Global Mobility Divide: How Visa Policies Have Evolved over Time
While visa policies are the major instrument for regulating and controlling the global flow of people, little is known about how they have changed over time. Accordingly, scholars have expressed the need for large-N datasets which cover more than one point in time. This article takes up this challenge and presents a for the first time a global overview of the changes in visa waiver policies based on a newly created database containing the visa wa…
Welfare Regimes and the Norms of Social Exchange
The article highlights the normative underpinning of acts of social giving. The propensity to engage in a costly collective endeavour is strongly enhanced by reciprocity assumptions. People are not solely self-regarding but also care for the well-being of others and express support for the moral purposes of welfare programmes. To identify the conditions under which people tend to support or object to redistributive policies we need to shed light …
Giving Social Ties, Reciprocity in Modern Society
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the meaning of giftgiving and reciprocity in modern society and thereby following the pointers left by Marcel Mauss. A critique will be made of the dichotomy of self-interest and normatively orientated action that forms the basis of sociology. For this conceptual dichotomization has caused forms of social interaction that cannot be localized either on the side of self-interest or on that of morality. It is …
Subjective insecurity and the role of institutions
The issue of social insecurity is high on the public and scientific agenda. Most research, however, looks at objective forms of insecurity like growing labour market volatilities or atypical employment. Less has been done with regard to the way people perceive these changes and the role of institutions therein. While recent studies have highlighted the relatively weak role of institutions in explaining different levels of subjective insecurity, t…
Europe from the Bottom: Assessing Personal Gains and Losses and its Effects on EU Support
Numerous authors have highlighted utilitarian considerations as sources of public support for the European Union, suggesting that support results primarily from cost-benefit calculations of the gains and losses associated with integration. Benefits accrue, not only to different member states, but also to individuals. Within this discussion it is often suggested that the gains and losses are unevenly distributed across social groups, with the high…
Mobility Citizenship, Inequality, and the Liberal State: The Case of Visa Policies
This article analyzes the issue of cross-border mobility of persons viewed from a social inequality perspective. After considering the significance of social closure and border control for the historical development of modern states and citizenship, it offers a critique of restrictions on mobility rights enforced by liberal states. On the basis of empirical data on visa regulations, it demonstrates that mobility rights are distributed highly uneq…
What determines subjective socio-economic insecurity? Context and class in comparative perspective
The phenomenon of socio-economic insecurity is widely discussed in contemporary public and academic discourse. However, it is unclear how objective socio-economic and institutional conditions affect subjective feelings of insecurity. Based on a review of the relevant literature, we hypothesize that objective contextual factors of labour market characteristics, levels of social protection and levels of internationalization and globalization exacer…

Horizontal Europeanisation in Contextual Perspective
In the current discourse it is frequently stated that in the course of European integration and globalisation we witness more intensified and more frequent transactions spanning across national borders. These assumptions relate not only to transactions in the economic sphere or to forms of political co-operation, but to the individual lifeworlds as well. Yet concerning the latter dimension, research into the patterns and dynamics of interpersonal…
Democratic demand for a social Europe? Preferences of the European citizenry
Within the literature on European integration there is a widespread assumption that Europe is in need of intensified and more effective supranational social policy cooperation. However, on the political level it is doubtful whether such measures are welcomed by the national electorates. This article addresses this issue empirically by asking whether there is public demand for promoting greater European welfare policy cooperation and what are the …

Professionalization in EU Policy-Making? The topology of the transnational field of EU affairs
In this paper, we conceptualize EU policy-making as a vital field of professionalization and depict the emergence and various dimensions of an area of professional work nowadays labelled ‘EU Affairs’. Thus, we argue that the EU constitutes more than just a supranational layer of decision-making, but is at the same time a pertinent and influential producer of expert knowledge and sets the stage for the emergence of specialized job profiles, profes…

Regional Mobility Spaces? Visa Waiver Policies and Regional Integration
Visa policies today are a central instrument for filtering wanted and unwanted types of travellers, leading to a hierarchy of mobility rights. While there is evidence of a “global mobility divide”, we still know little about the role of regional integration when it comes to the distribution of mobility rights and the (re)structuring of mobility spaces. Against this background, the article examines the structure of visa relations in different bodi…

The Moral Economy of Welfare States: Britain and Germany Compared
This book investigates why people are willing to support an institutional arrangement that realises large-scale redistribution of wealth between social groups of society. Steffen Mau introduces the concept of 'the moral economy' to show that acceptance of welfare exchanges rests on moral assumptions and ideas of social justice people adhere to. Analysing both the institution of welfare and the public attitudes towards such schemes, the book demon…

Welfare States: Construction, Deconstruction, Reconstruction
In this three-volume collection Leibfried and Mau have gathered together the most vital articles about the welfare state and its ‘reformation’ written since the mid-1970s. Their choices and organizing principles bring coherence and additional insight to these articles which, together, provide a comprehensive presentation of all the key empirical, conceptual and normative issues.
Ungleiche Transnationalisierung
Das in der Öffentlichkeit oft vorgebrachte Unbehagen über die Globalisierung rührt zum Teil daher, dass zahlreiche wissenschaftliche Publikationen die Frage nach der akteursbezogenen Verantwortlichkeit für die zunehmend grenzüberschreitend ausgerichtete Verflechtung sozialer Handlungszusammenhänge ausklammern. Die in diesem Zusammenhang vorgebrachte Kritik richtet sich vor allem gegen solche Darstellungen der gesellschaftlichen Denationalisierung…

Wandel und Reform des deutschen Sozialstaats aus Sicht der Bevölkerung
Der Beitrag untersucht anhand aktueller repräsentativer Umfragedaten die Einstellungen der Bürger zu wesentlichen Aspekten der Reformen des deutschen Sozialstaats. Es wird gefragt, ob der sich abzeichnende sozialpolitische Paradigmenwechsel hin zum "investiven Sozialstaat" in der Bevölkerung auf Zustimmung stößt. Im Einzelnen geht es dabei um grundsätzliche Gerechtigkeitsorientierungen, die gewachsene Bedeutung von Eigenverantwortung, die stärker…
