  abstract  = {Die westafrikanische Republik Gambia wurde zwei Jahrzehnte lang von Yayha Jammeh regiert. 1994 putschte er sich an die Macht und behielt diese vier Legislaturperioden lang, bis er im Dezember 2016 die Pr{\"a}sidentschaftswahlen {\"u}berraschend gegen seinen Konkurrenten Adama Barrow verlor. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Entwicklung der Staatlichkeit der Republik Gambia w{\"a}hrend Jammehs Amtszeit. F{\"u}r den Zeitraum seit der Staatsgr{\"u}ndung im Jahr 1965 bis zur ersten Erhebung durch den US-amerikanischen Think Tank Fund for Peace 2006 gibt es keine umfassende Untersuchung {\"u}ber den Zustand der gambischen Staatlichkeit. Durch die Anwendung der Theorie fragiler Staatlichkeit nach Ulrich Schneckener soll mit der vorliegenden Arbeit ein Teil dieser L{\"u}cke geschlossen werden. Dazu werden f{\"u}r jede der vier Legislaturperioden Jammehs die von Schneckener benannten Staatsfunktionen (Sicherheit, Legitimit{\"a}t/Rechtsstaatlichkeit, Wohlfahrt) einzeln untersucht, um anschließend den Zustand der Staatlichkeit Gambias einzuordnen. Dazu werden sowohl quantitative als auch qualitative Daten einschließlich Experteninterviews verwendet. Anhand eines Vergleichs der einzelnen Typologisierungen ist es m{\"o}glich, abschließend ein Gesamtbild der Entwicklung der gambischen Staatlichkeit w{\"a}hrend Jammehs Amtszeit zu zeichnen.},

  abstract  = {Die Europ{\"a}ische Union (EU) sieht sich gegenw{\"a}rtig einem Prozess der Politisierung ausgesetzt, der durch die Polykrise der letzten Jahre verst{\"a}rkt wurde. Der „permissive consensus" (Lindberg/Scheingold 1970), welcher schon seit dem „post-Maastricht Blues" (Eichen-berg/Dalton 2007) br{\"o}ckelte, wird durch eine Reihe ablehnender Referenden zu europapolitischen Themen weiter in Frage gestellt. Die seit langem sp{\"u}rbaren Desintegrationstendenzen und Zentrifugalkr{\"a}fte kulminierten im Brexit-Referendum vom Juni 2016. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist mehr denn je zu konstatieren, dass die {\"O}ffentlichkeit, die Unionsb{\"u}rgerInnen eine zentrale, den Integrationsprozess mindestens beeinflussende, bisweilen limitierende Rolle einnehmen. Diese Studie stellt die Frage, inwiefern die Theorien der europ{\"a}ischen Integration diesen wichtigen, den Integrationsprozess immer deutlicher (mit-)bestimmenden Faktor der {\"O}ffentlichkeit erfassen. Der Beitrag liefert zum einen eine komprimierte {\"U}bersicht der einschl{\"a}gigen theoretischen Ans{\"a}tze, die seit den 1950er-Jahren bis heute zur Beschreibung und Erkl{\"a}rung von Prozess und Zustand der europ{\"a}ischen Integration verwendet wurden und werden. Dabei wird zum zweiten die jeweilige Rolle der {\"O}ffentlichkeit in den Ans{\"a}tzen ausgew{\"a}hlter ReferenztheoretikerInnen retrospektiv und aktuell durchgesehen. Mit dieser integrationstheoretischen Rundumschau unter dem Filter der {\"O}ffentlichkeit liefert die vorliegende Analyse Ankn{\"u}pfungspunkte f{\"u}r theoriegeleitete Europaforschung, die den Politisierungsprozess der EU einordnend, analysierend, erkl{\"a}rend, verstehend und bei Bedarf kritisch begleiten kann.},

  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.},

  abstract  = {Whereas the measurement of the quality of democracy focused on the rough differentiation of democracies and autocracies in the beginning (e.g. Vanhanen, Polity, Freedom House), the focal point of newer instruments is the assessment of the quality of established democracies. In this context, tensions resp. trade-offs between dimensions of democracy are discussed as well (e.g. Democracy Barometer, Varieties of Democracy). However, these approaches lack a systematic discussion of trade-offs and they are not able to show trade-offs empirically. We address this research desideratum in a three-step process: Firstly, we propose a new conceptual approach, which distinguishes between two different modes of relationships between dimensions: mutual reinforcing effects and a give-and-take relationship (trade-offs) between dimensions. By introducing our measurement tool, Democracy Matrix, we finally locate mutually reinforcing effects as well as trade-offs. Secondly, we provide a new methodological approach to measure trade-offs. While one measuring strategy captures the mutual reinforcing effects, the other strategy employs indicators, which serve to gauge trade-offs. Thirdly, we demonstrate empirical findings of our measurement drawing on the Varieties of Democracy dataset. Incorporating trade-offs into the measurement enables us to identify various profiles of democracy (libertarian, egalitarian and control-focused democracy) via the quality of its dimensions.},

  abstract  = {As opposed to general expectation and perception, doctoral graduates do not necessarily strive for or realize the ideal-typical academic career. In many Western countries, career opportunities and paths for doctoral graduates have diversified, and academia is not their only occupational destination, with a large proportion leaving academia to work in public service, in companies' research and development departments, or in non-profit organizations. Against this background, this thesis examines postdoctoral careers by means of the midterm occupational destinations and professional success among doctoral graduates in the academic and non-academic labour markets in Germany. With regard to occupational destinations, I investigate where doctoral graduates are employed following graduation and how their occupational destinations can be explained. With regard to professional success, I investigate various objective and subjective success indicators related to the returns to doctoral degrees — such as earnings, management positions, and job satisfaction — and systematically include the graduates' occupational destinations in the analyses. I also consider social inequalities regarding both research topics.},
