In 2010, Stuttgart witnessed a major protest wave against the construction of an underground railway station. Despite the local character of the conflict about “Stuttgart 21”, there has been nationwide news coverage of the protests and public debates about consequences for civic participation and the democratic culture in Germany. Journalists and other observers speculated about the social and demographic background of the protesters, about their motivations, and their self-perception as citizens. In a survey at one of the regular Monday demonstrations (N=858) these questions were addressed in a systematic and reliable way.

The workshop’s primary aim is to shift the debate from comparative statistics to models which emphasize the dynamics of international institutional variation and change by focusing on the further development of key insights from historical institutionalism such as (but not limited to) path dependence, unintended consequences, timing and sequencing effects and critical junctures. The issues addressed should be international in character, with an explicit focus on international institutions or the interaction of domestic and international levels.
How do courts come to decisions in hybrid legal contexts? Which rules and which procedures apply to manage normative plurality? And to which extent does legitimate and effective conflict resolution rely on valid statutory rules? These questions will be discussed with judges and legal experts from South Africa, Ethiopia, Pakistan, and Somalia. Die Veranstaltung wird gefördert vom Auswärtigen Amt/Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen.
