Relevant researcher: Dieter Gosewinkel, Dieter Rucht

The Science Centre Berlin host since 1 January 2005 a research group on „Civil Society, Citizenship and Political Mobilization in Europe“ (CCM), resulting from the merging of the two groups “Civil Society: Historical and Comparative Perspectives” and “Political Communication and Mobilization”. It is an integral part of the Research Area “Civil Society, Conflict and Democracy” (ZKD).

The research programme examines, how civil society’s institutional framework, values, and actors develop and change? And how is this connected to various forms of inequality? The problem of inequality, as expressed in struggles for recognition, is posed against the background of ambivalent concepts of civil society. Empirically, the quality of civil society can be assessed through analyzing how ac-tively, and with respect to which values, citizens participate in matters that concern their com-munity. Accordingly, prerequisites and repercussions of public discourse and political mobili-zation regarding inequality are the basis of the research group’s investigation. Europe and the processes of Europeanization will serve as the regional and thematic reference point in our research; aspects of globalization will also be investigated.

  1. Greece


prepared by Ruby Gropas and Anna Triandafyllidou

Given the limited research that has been undertaken in Greece, this section is only able to provide information with regard to centres and researchers involved in the study of immigration. Research, and particular PhD theses are increasingly branching out into issues of social inclusion of immigrants, civic participation and representation etc, so it is expected that the research landscape in Greece will evolve significantly over the next few years. In addition to the centres and institutions that are working in this field and that are listed below, we have also included the names of a number of academics with expertise in these areas.
