Abstract

This study analyzes the interplay between the public image and the self-image of the German Querdenken movement during the COVID-19 pandemic. First, we reconstruct the public image of Querdenken with data from the newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung. Our findings reveal a multifaceted network of critical arguments against the government's public health measures during the crisis. Querdenken remained at the periphery of this newspaper discourse because it was mostly perceived as anti-democratic, particularistic, and irrational. Next, we compare this public image with Querdenken's self-image using the movement's press releases. Our analysis shows that Querdenken's supporters responded to public criticism by counter-labeling their critics as untrustworthy, conspiratorial, and corrupt. Our conclusion finds that due to its highly contentious 'anti-science' and 'anti-elite' approach, Querdenken failed to produce a positive 'resonance' within the public sphere and developed only limited civil power. Keywords: civil society, correspondence analysis, COVID-19 pandemic, discourse, Querdenken, social movements, topic modeling, In April 2021, when the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak and the German population was not yet fully vaccinated, the science-skeptical Querdenken movement mobilized 8,000 protesters in Berlin to [...]

18. What is the Place for Megachurches? A Comparison of 22 American Cities Based on the Causes of Effects Approach1.

Abstract

The success of megachurches in America is often traced back to their strategic ability of mobilizing new members in a competitive, religious marketplace. This paper shifts the attention to the push factors of megachurch success. It develops a causes of effects approach, in which local place‐based conditions in 22 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) are compared and related to megachurches. First, correspondence analysis (CA) is used to take into account a large set of explanatory conditions such as religious and ethnic group affiliations, social structural conditions as well as value orientations. CA reveals that megachurches are typically successful in MSAs characterized by an evangelical hegemony. Second, qualitative comparative analysis shows that population growth and suburbanization are necessary conditions for a high share of megachurches. An analysis of sufficient conditions leads to three propositions: Megachurches grow in cities (1) where a large closed evangelical community exists; (2) where a large upward oriented Christian immigrant community exists; (3) and in tolerant (and educated) areas—in conjuncture with the presence of a larger community of Protestants.

29. Bringing Efficiency In?

Abstract

The implementation of Research Training Groups (RTG) by the German Research Foundation at the beginning of the 1990 was one of the major steps towards a reform of doctoral education in Germany. A main intention of the RTG was to increase the efficiency of doctoral training. RTG aimed at a lowering of time-to-degree and age-at-graduation, also at achieving a higher degree of transparency as regards the supervision and training of doctoral students. To achieve these goals RTGs were implemented as temporary research units with a focused (interdisciplinary) research and study program at universities. Given this background the paper will compare processes, training conditions of the RTG along the following lines: • As regards efficiency we will have a closer look at the time to the doctorate. • Regards the conditions of doctoral training the RTG will be compared to other forms of doctoral training for those aspects that the RTG tried to change. • Finally, the paper will investigate in the question to what extent different conditions of training and other determinants have contributed to achieve more efficiency in terms of shortening the time to the doctorate. To answer these questions a comparative analysis will be done. The paper will be based on a survey among former doctoral students who pursued their doctorate in Germany during the 1990s. In this survey former members of RTG as well as former doctoral students who were graduating in a different, traditional setting had been integrated. These two groups will be compared. In total individual data from 1,424 doctorates from a wide range of different academic disciplines graduating from their doctoral studies between 1995 and 2000 will be analyzed

30. Multilevel Dynamics in Universities in Changing Research Landscapes

Abstract

While at the top of universities, strategic research management has evolved from facilitation to become more directive, partly inspired by New Public Management approaches, and the need for universities to profile themselves, at the bottom level of research groups and other research performing entities, the orientation and resource mobilization is towards scientific fields and domains of application, which allows them a degree of autonomy. The intermediary layer of deans and directors of (big) scientific institutes is becoming increasingly important. A striking example are the Centres of Research and Excellence, actually a new type of entity in the strategic research landscape. The evolution of research management is traced for each of these levels and their interactions, in three universities in the Netherlands, and three universities in South Africa. They represent the three main types of universities in terms of their resource dependency strategy: classical-elite universities, entrepreneurial universities and niche universities. One finding is that the classical-elite universities and the entrepreneurial universities appear to converge, because their research groups and centres operate on the same market of strategic research
