From Competition to Division of Labor: Complexity and Dynamics in the Interplay of International Institutions

Abstract

The international system is composed of a multitude of institutions which overlap frequently in their competences, but are not embedded in a centralized order. Contrary to nation-states and to the European Union (EU), the international system lacks an integrative institutional framework within which norm conflicts among functionally overlapping international institutions can be mediated and solved. Against that backdrop, it is a much discussed question whether institutional complexity is strengthening or weakening inter-state cooperation. In this theory-building book, I show that the tendency to develop an inter-institutional division of labor is inherent in functionally overlapping international institutions.

Dimensions of Multicultural Diversity: Immigrants, Indigenous People and Support for Redistribution in Canada

Unfortunately this Lecture had to be cancelled.




Short description
Analyses of the relationship between ethnic diversity and solidarity seldom distinguish between different forms of ethnic difference, such as the distinction between racial minority immigrants and indigenous peoples. By making this distinction, this study qualifies the findings of early studies of the relationship between ethnic diversity and solidarity in Canada.

Lesen mit Maschinen. Über den digitalen Wandel der Geisteswissenschaften

Subtitle
Vortrag von Professor Gerhard Lauer, Universität Göttingen
Description

Bleiben die Geisteswissenschaften dieselben auch im digitalen Zeitalter?

Ja und Nein. Ja, weil die Aufgabenstellung der Geisteswissenschaften unverändert die ist, zur kulturellen Selbstverständigung und kritischen Reflexion auf gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen beizutragen.  Nein, weil sich ihre Gegenstände und mehr noch ihre Methoden ändern und mit Google ganz andere Konkurrenten im Feld der kulturellen Deutung dramatisch an Gewicht gewinnen.
