Philanthropic Foundations in Higher Education
Janina Mangold uncovers the contributions of philanthropic foundations in higher education in Germany and the USA. Considering the three regime classifications of Varieties of Capitalism, Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism, and Social Origins Theory, she examines the role and positioning of German and American higher education foundations vis-à-vis state and market actors in contemporary society. On the basis of both qualitative and quantitative data, she then develops urgent policy recommendations for foundations, higher education, and governments.
Gouvernementalität
Unter Rückgriff auf den gouvernementalitätstheoretischen Ansatz Michel Foucaults wird der Debattierwettbewerb Jugend debattiert einer macht- und herrschaftskritischen Analyse unterzogen. Forschungsleitend ist dafür die Einordnung in die aktuelle, neoliberale Lösungen anbietende Bildungs(reform)politik, die über den Diskurs des Kompetenzlernens in einer lebenslang lernenden Gesellschaft beispielhaft zugänglich gemacht wird. Ausgehend von diesem Bezugspunkt wird in der fallspezifischen Gouvernementalitätsanalyse der Frage nachgegangen, ob und inwieweit Jugend debattiert in diese Kunst des Regiertwerdens eingeordnet werden kann.

Democratic Transition and the Rise of Populist Majoritarianism
This comparative study explores the impact of populist majoritarianism on Greek and Turkish democratic transition. Using case studies from Greece and Turkey, the author argues that while majoritarianism is often celebrated as a manifestation of popular sovereignty, it can undermine institutional performance and even stifle the process of democratic consolidation, contributing to a confrontational and inefficient democratic regime in cases of transition states where levels of social capital are low and social polarization is high. It is shown that building up a “mild democracy” requires maturity of institutions and an efficient system of checks and balances and implementation control mechanisms, while building consensus and trust in societies torn by ethnic, religious and ideological divides is not a luxury but a permissive condition for democratic consolidation and economic prosperity. This book will be of use to students and scholars interested in the fields of Greek and Turkish politics, comparative politics and democracy.
