The WZB
The WZB Berlin Social Science Center investigates fundamental societal issues. Our focus is on education and work, markets and choice, migration, democracy and autocracy, international politics and law. At the WZB researchers from various disciplines work together – mainly from sociology, political science, economics, law and psychology.

Change
Times are dynamic and challenging. Political, economic and technological developments around the world are taking place at breathtaking speed. The March issue of our quarterly “WZB-Mitteilungen” reflects the deep ambivalence of change - the spirit of optimism, but also resistance and hardening fronts.
The issue focuses on the state and future of democracy: How can the boom of the extreme right be explained? What forms does protest take? What role do language and education play? There are also analyses of the transport revolution, industrial policy, and the handling of data.
