Since the advent of the European Union, politicians have increasingly emphasized the notion of a European social model as an alternative to the American form of market capitalism, which is seen as promoting economic growth without regard for solidarity and social progress.

Lecture by Sigrid Quack (WZB Lecture Series "Social Inequality")
Description

This lecture examines conflicts and negotiations about the creation and development of transnational governance forms in different regulatory fields. A longitudinal and comparative analysis shows variation in the participation of different societal groups. These are reflected in the social construction of what is considered as expertise and who should be included in governance arrangements in each of these fields.

Vortrag von Claudia Neu
Description

Bürgerpartizipation ist schon lange eingeübte Praxis. Es gibt kein größeres Planungsvorhaben ohne Bürgerbeteiligung; ganze EU-Förderrichtlinien (beispielsweise LEADER oder Region aktiv) sind an eine aktive Beteiligung der lokalen Bevölkerung geknüpft. Gleichwohl scheint diese Verfahrensbeteiligung vielen nicht mehr zu genügen. Volksentscheide und Demonstrationen gegen Infrastrukturgroßprojekte haben Konjunktur. Auch ein anderer Aspekt der Bürgerbeteiligung hat in der politischen Debatte Konjunktur.

Women bear the brunt of unpaid household work. Their professional advancement is thus made significantly more difficult. This applies to poorer women in particular, as shown by the WZB in an international comparative study.
