- Inhalt:
- Die Globalisierung und die digitale Revolution führen seit den 1980er Jahren zu grundlegenden gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Veränderungen. Gleichzeitig finden neue politische Themen zunehmend Eingang in den politischen Diskurs, so dass in verschiedenen politikwissenschaftliche Ansätzen die Rede von einer neuen Spaltungslinie (cleavage) ist. Die Befürwortung von offenen Grenzen, von stärkerem Minderheitenschutz und der Aufgabe nationaler Souveränität auf der einen Seite stehen der Betonung nationaler Identität und der Ablehnung von Immigration auf der anderen Seite gegenüber. Alternative Geschlechter- und Familienkonzeptionen treffen auf traditionalistische Rollenbilder und Forderungen nach mehr Umweltschutz treffen auf Klimawandelleugnung. So unterschiedlich die Positionen beider Seiten sind, ist ihnen doch gemein, dass sie nicht unmittelbar in die klassische Konfliktlinie „Arbeit gegen Kapital“, die den politischen Wettbewerb bis dahin maßgeblich prägte, eingeordnet werden können. Somit wird zum Teil auch die weitläufige Abkehr von einstigen Volksparteien und den Aufstieg von populistischen und grünen Parteien in Verbindung mit der die Verschiebung von ökonomischen Verteilungsfragen hin zu kulturellen Identitätsfragen gebracht.
Im Seminar werden wir zunächst Grundbegriffe des (europäischen) Parteienwettbewerbs und Analysen zu dessen Wandel behandeln. Anschließend werden wir verschiedene politikwissenschaftliche, soziologische, kulturwissenschaftliche und ökonomische Erklärungsansätze vergleichen, die den Wandel auf strukturelle Veränderungen in der Arbeitswelt und Wirtschaftsweise, in der Kommunikation und in der politischen Kultur zurückführen. Neben Erklärungen für den Wandel auf der „Nachfrageseite“ liegt jedoch auch stets ein Augenmerk auf dem Verhalten von politischen Akteuren.

- Inhalt:
- Over the last two decades, a broad new institutionalist literature in comparative politics and political economy has demonstrated that political institutions critically affect political behavior, political processes, and policy outputs. Most studies conceptualize institutions as stable and exogenous constraints on actor behavior, i.e. as independent variables explaining behavior and outputs. More recently, however, scholars have turned increased attention to the question of how institutions are designed and changed, i.e. treat institutions as a dependent variable.
This seminar covers this literature in order to understand why political institutions change over time. Theoretically, we discuss rational choice institutionalism and historical institutionalism as alternative but often complementary perspectives. The main emphasis is on rationalist theories of institutional design and change. This perspective conceptualizes changes in institutional rules as a strategy of political actors to achieve their substantive interests in political competition. Empirically, the seminar covers changes in core institutions such as the electoral system, the organization of parliaments and the executive branch, federalism, direct democracy, and the role of constitutional courts with a geographic focus on European democracies.

- Inhalt:
- This lecture first introduces Master students to the most important varieties of institutionalist research in comparative politics including the ‘old’ institutionalism, rational choice institutionalism, historical institutionalism, and sociological institutionalism. Afterwards, we discuss core areas of (mainly) rational choice institutionalist research including the stabilizing effects of institutions on policy-making, institutions as solutions for collective dilemmas, principal−agent models of delegation, agenda-setting, deliberate institutional design, and informal institutions. At the end of the lecture, students will have a profound knowledge of general debates in institutionalist research and are able to relate these debates to specific research topics in comparative politics.
