Elements for the Comparative Analysis of the Constitution of Self-Organised Groups}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-25149}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-251493}, pages = {42}, year = {2021}, abstract = {The notions self-organisation and self-regulation are at least implicitly loaded with a positive democratic connotation. The main corresponding debates on social movements, governance and civil society mostly refer to the Global North with a well-functioning state and democratic political systems. One consequence is that the less democratic and less liberal hidden side of self-organisation, seen by some critics, does not gain much attention. After a short discussion of the main theoretical approaches, the paper presents a selection of self-organised groups depicting their different values, norms, and structural features. These examples reach from democratic groups marked by solidarity to racist violent groups that are a threat to differently minded people. The analysis of these examples leads to a set of criteria for the comparative analysis of the internal structure of self-organised groups including potential membership, in- and outward orientation, underlying basic principles of social order and types of trust with related types of decision-making. These basic elements help to understand the constitution and functioning of self-organisation, which are open to a wide range of value orientation.}, subject = {Selbstorganisation}, language = {en} } @techreport{TiegnaZante2021, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Tiegna, Janneke and Zant{\´e}, Nestor}, title = {Forschung {\"u}ber B{\"u}rgerwehren in Burkina Faso: Herausforderungen und Strategien des Feldzugangs}, issn = {2698-2684}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-24057}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-240575}, pages = {37}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Dieses Working Paper veranschaulicht, wie sich die beiden Forscher*innen Janneke Tiegna und Nestor Zant{\´e} des Teilprojekts F „Lokale Selbstregelungen f{\"u}r die Herstellung von Sicherheit: B{\"u}rgerwehren in Burkina Faso", w{\"a}hrend ihres bisherigen Forschungsaufenthalts von September 2019 bis Februar 2020 Zugang in ihre Forschungsgemeinden im Westen und S{\"u}den Burkina Fasos verschafft haben.
