  abstract  = {Current crises have highlighted the importance of integrating research, politics and practice to work on solutions for complex social problems. In recent years, policy deliberation fora, policy pilots and policy labs have increasingly been deployed to mobilise science to produce solutions, help create popular support and guide implementation of policies addressing major public policy problems. Yet, we know little about how these approaches manage to transcend the boundaries between research, politics and practice. By systematically comparing policy deliberation fora, policy pilots and policy labs, this paper explores their mechanisms of boundary spanning including relationship and trust building, knowledge translation and developing solutions. We situate our analysis in healthcare policy and climate change policy in Germany, two contrasting policy fields that share a perpetual and escalating sense of crisis. Our findings suggest that deliberation fora, policy pilots and policy labs address different dilemmas of policymaking, namely the idea dilemma, the implementation dilemma and the legitimacy dilemma. All three approaches reduce wicked problems to a manageable scale, by grounding them in local decision-making, reducing their scope or reducing the problem analytically. We argue that despite their ambition to modernise democratic practices, unless they are institutionally well embedded, their effects are likely to be small scale, local and temporary.},

  abstract  = {Exploring and explaining diversity and patterns of stateness is crucial for understanding causes of efficiency, duration, or the collapse of a state. The new Stateness Index (StIx) contributes to the conceptual and analytical debate on stateness and state fragility. StIx is a tool for measuring stateness and state quality since 1950 that includes country-ranking through aggregated and disaggregated data to advance performance comparison and policy analysis. This article first sums up the main theoretical aspects, followed by descriptive results.},

  abstract  = {Dieses f{\"u}nfte Jean Monnet Paper f{\"u}gt alle 36 mainEUropa-Blogs, die zwischen 2017 und 2021 an der mit einem Jean Monnet Lehrstuhl ausgezeichneten Professur f{\"u}r Europaforschung und Internationale Beziehungen der Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg verfasst wurden, zu einer einheitlichen Publikation zusammen. Die mainEUropa-Blogs wollten {\"u}ber ausgew{\"a}hlte Aspekte der EU-Politik aktuell, knapp und leicht verst{\"a}ndlich informieren; damit haben sie dem EU-Geschehen der Jahre 2017 bis 2021 aus jeweils aktuellen Anl{\"a}ssen den Puls genommen und zu einem besseren Verst{\"a}ndnis der EU-Politik- und Entscheidungsprozesse beigetragen. Die Blog-Themen sind breit gef{\"a}chert und bilden somit ausgew{\"a}hlte Ereignisse und Weichenstellungen aus der j{\"u}ngeren Integrationsgeschichte ab. Die Themen reichen {\"u}ber klimapolitische Beschl{\"u}sse, das Ringen um den Erhalt bzw. die Wiederherstellung der Rechtstaatlichkeit in einigen EU-Mitgliedstaaten, das Endlos-Drama des Brexits, wichtige Wahlen in der EU und ausgew{\"a}hlten Mitgliedstaaten bis hin zu neuen Entwicklungen in der EU-Außen-, Sicherheits- und Verteidigungspolitik sowie zu den {\"u}berraschend zupackenden Antworten der EU auf die Covid-19-Pandemie. Ein Blick auf die europapolitische Agenda der im Dezember 2021 angetretenen rot-gr{\"u}n-gelben Ampel-Bundesregierung beschließt die Reihe. Denn 2021 endete auch das die mainEUropa-Blogs tragende Jean Monnet Projekt, so dass das vorliegende f{\"u}nfte Jean Monnet Paper auch das letzte sein wird.},
