Research Area 1: Institutional Constellations that Govern Markets and the Economy
Head: PD Dr. Konstanze Senge (acting head)
The central objective of this research area is to make an analytical appraisal of those institutional constellations and governance structures that are significant to market framing. On the one hand, this entails changes in these institutional constellations, with it being assumed that institutions do not only interact in a complementary way. Discordance, incoherence, and conflicting institutional logic are viewed not only as possible, but probable, providing grounds for an examination of the influence of the same factors, in particular on institutional change. On the other hand, the analysis takes into account reactions on an organizational and individual level, which are associated with ambiguous institutional regulations, institutional “mismatch,” and tensions resulting from economic and institutional requirements. The focal point of the research aims to be interdisciplinary. In particular, socio-economic, business, political-economics and organizational perspectives have a strong impact. In addition to an international comparison, the analysis includes a consideration of change at both the company and operational level.
Research Area 1 of the CGG revolves around the fundamental idea of the constellation of market-framing institutions, where discordance, incoherence, and differing logics are indeed deemed not only possible, but probable. Deliberation on this aspect increases quite considerably the possibilities for understanding institutional processes of change. Incremental changes in neo-institutionalism, for example, are thus traced back to processes of institutional overlapping (Thelen 2002; Thelen/Streeck 2005), which implies that the ‘layering’ leads to institutional systems that are stratified, and to a certain degree, ambiguous. In this theoretical context, the continuance of residual elements is arranged conceptually, and forms the basis for the dynamics of institutional change. The “hybridisation” of institutional systems (frequently seen in empirical studies) likewise fundamentally presupposes that formerly incompatible, non-complementary elements will be mixed. A new and dynamic understanding of institutional constellations is at the same time required, so as not to assume from the outset that these hybrid constellations have an entirely negative effect.
Globalisation, with its accompanying location competition, is understood here to mean a process which, for the actors involved, potentially adds to the area of conflict, with varying expectations, contradictory institutional guidelines, multi-level conflicts and ambiguous economic and legal requirements. Consequently, the research focus will ask which characteristics of institutional constellations are believed to be susceptible to change owing to globalisation, or which concrete effects are associated with changed institutional constellations.

Research Area 2: Change in Institutional Constellations of the Welfare State
Heads: Prof. Dr. Birgit Pfau-Effinger and Dr. Patricia Frericks
The term “welfare state” describes the constellation of public institutions in industrial and post-industrial societies that are oriented toward social security and arrange the provision of social services. Since the 1990s, welfare states have found themselves in a state of considerable change, which in part has also encompassed the cultural foundations of policies in these countries. Supranational policies, in particular those of the EU, as well as international discourse have contributed to this change. However, such change affects the various institutions of welfare states and their cultural foundations in quite different ways.
In this regard, the direction of change in welfare state policies is controversial in part. Some authors support the assumption that, as a consequence of policies of supranational organizations and discourses in which neoliberal values are central, welfare states are increasingly converging with the “liberal” type of welfare regime (following Esping-Anderson's welfare regime typology) and are sharing their premises according to which the state limits the market mechanisms as little as possible. Other authors argue that the different types of welfare regime each develop on the basis of specific regime principles.
The aim of this research area is to examine change in institutional constellations triggered by various welfare state policies. A particular focus is on the strengthening of economic principles in welfare state policies. Also, we analyze change in welfare culture in the context of relatively new European and global discourse. Moreover, we analyze change in social governance and the impact of global social governance at the level of national and local welfare systems. Another concern is the implications and consequences of such change with respect to social inequality, gender inequality, life course norms, and social cohesion. The research is in most cases based on an international comparative perspective.
The main fields of investigation in research area 2 are
- Reforming welfare states in the era of globalization
- Change in the institutional construction of “social citizenship”
- The global “traveling” of social governance and welfare culture
- Consequences for social inequality and social cohesion
Main research questions
- How do welfare states differ with respect to how their institutions, policies, and governance systems change? To what extent do developments in individual societies lead to convergence, and conversely to divergence?
- How do endogenous processes of social change on the one hand and change at the international level and globalization on the other hand contribute to an explanation of differences and of divergence and convergence?
- How significant were marketization and privatization in the transformation of welfare states, and to what extent have these factors caused a lack of institutional complementariness?
- What are the consequences of social policy reforms for social inequality and social cohesion?

Research Area 3: Global Climate Governance
Head: Prof. Dr. Anita Engels
The aim of this research area is to identify forms of governance that shape the relationship between society and the environment (especially the climate system), and to examine the changes therein. The focus is on the governance of economic dynamics at various levels of society: consumers and households, corporate actors, national policies, and international regimes. An understanding of these dynamics allows an assessment of the options and barriers concerning a global transformation toward a low-carbon society (Harrison/ Sundstrom 2010; Newell/Paterson 2010; Giddens 2009; Methmann et al. 2013).
The following research topics are of particular concern: 1) forms of governance that regulate the emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases (e.g. corporate greening and carbon markets); 2) forms of governance that influence the possibility of adaptation to already present climate change; and 3) the relationship between public perceptions and interpretations of global climate change and emerging policies. Finally, another focus is on the central role of energy consumption and energy markets for any shift toward a low-carbon society.
Thus, the analysis of climate governance starts with an analysis of past and present forms of co- ordinating economic dynamics and develops into a forward-thinking comparison of the effectiveness of different forms of governance, contributing to ongoing public debates about the challenges connected to climate change and energy. The specific theoretical contributions in this research area are motivated by close intellectual exchange and common research activities in the fields of sociology and economics as well as an openness toward the natural sciences that deal with the dynamics of the global climate system.
The CGG collaborates closely with the CliSAP Cluster of Excellence (Integrated Climate System Analysis and Prediction), which was established in November 2007 and received funding in the second round of the German “Excellence Initiative” until 2017 (EXC 177). Professors Alexander Bassen, Anita Engels, and Irene Neverla are involved as principal investigators of the cluster, and Professor Engels is also one of the co-chairs. This research area is also an institutional member of CEN (Center for Earth System Research and Sustainability) at the School of Natural Sciences, University of Hamburg.
The CGG also participates in KlimaCampus Hamburg, in which university researchers join forces with strong non-university partners such as the Max-Planck-Institute of Meteorology, the Institute of Coastal Research at the Helmholtz Center Geesthacht and several other Hamburg-based research institutions and administrations. Contributions from the social sciences climate research, which is otherwise dominated by the natural sciences, are an innovative element in the German research landscape in this area.
Main research questions
- Which forms of governance emerge when dealing with the challenges of global anthropogenic climate change?
- How do individuals and companies make decisions in anticipation of a world in which CO2 emissions are increasingly regulated?
- What are the most promising triggers of a global shift toward a low-carbon society, and what are the potential barriers?
- What are the dynamics of public perception and discourse on climate change in the context of climate governance?

Research Area 4: Global Governance, Constitutionalism and World Society
Head: Prof. Antje Wiener, PhD AcSS
This research area includes work that addresses the interface between global governance, constitutionalism, and world society approaches. Studies focus on contested normativity in domestic, international, and transnational contexts. The main interests of the research area are thus international relations theories, international law, and global constitutionalism. Applying a bifocal approach, projects explore the role of fundamental norms and their impact on the often invisible constitution of world politics and change in the global order.
Today’s international relations feature a paradox. On the one hand, there is an increase in constitutionalism all over the world; for example, references to constitutional norms and processes have become a familiar feature across global regions and in a range of international organizations (IOs). On the other hand, the interpretation of international law is frequently subject to controversy. The meaning of corresponding norms is highly contested. Examples are decisions of the United Nations Security Council on military interventions or on so-called smart sanctions, as well as decisions of the International Court of Justice in The Hague. And even in national settings like domestic courts, international norms are applied and re-contextualized in “productive” ways.
In short, the global realm is increasingly populated by “constitutionalized” international organizations and an ever broader range of actors with different levels of authority and legitimacy, yet at the same time the implementation of common rules, contracts, and resolutions is contested. In other words, the phenomenon of constitutionalization is ac- companied by “contested compliance.” The norms research in international relations and law carried out in this research area aims to highlight these paradoxical constellations. In this regard, projects address challenges and opportunities for enhanced justice and legitimacy in the global realm.
Main research questions
- Does increased constitutionalization of international relations enhance constitutional quality in the global realm?
- Is the stability of the sovereignty-based international society of states challenged by non-state actors?
- How is normativity possible outside the limited territory of modern liberal democracies?
- Does referencing legal or constitutional norms across jurisdictional boundaries trigger a community beyond the nation state?

Research Area 5: Change in Institutional Constellations and Cultural Models than Frame the Work-Family Relationship
Head: Prof. Dr. Birgit Pfau-Effinger
The main focus of this research area is the development of the constellation of institutions and cultural values and models that frame the family, care, and the employment of those who provide care for children and the elderly. In this regard, we analyze five main issues:
Culture and global governance of gender relations
The degree to which the cultural value of gender equality is accepted in countries around the globe is a main issue in this context, as is the degree to which this cultural value has been absorbed in the norms of international institutions and the institutions of national welfare states. We evaluate this assumption with a theoretical approach that stresses that the gender culture is often contested and can change in different directions (Pfau-Effinger 1998; 2004). We analyze conflicts, negotiation processes, and dynamics around culture, governance principles, and institutions.
Women’s labor market integration in a cross-national perspective
Another main question is to what extent and in which ways women are integrated into the labor market, and how this is linked with the ways in which childcare and care for senior citizens is organized. We analyze how cross-national differences and historical change in women’s labor market behavior can be explained in the context of differences in the cultural, institutional, social, and economic landscape in various societies.
Women’s integration in national academic systems
Moreover, we analyze in a comparative international perspective how women are included in national academic systems, and the impact of international organizations and governance structures on the institutions that frame this integration. In this context, the analysis of factors that influence the representation of women in elite research is of major interest.
Economic factors framing gender relations
We also analyze the specific role of economic factors in the individual decision-making process of women and men in couples and families and in the employment system. In this regard, the so-called gender pay gap and the economic effects of career breaks are research fields that we study. Quantitative gender research from an economic perspective is important in different ways for an understanding of change in gender relations in international comparison.
Main fields of investigation
- Culture and global governance of gender relations for work and family
- Path dependence and path departure in arrangements for work and family
- Integration of women in national academic systems
- Division of household labor in the context of globalization
- Economic factors framing gender relations

CGG Working Paper No. 1: Forschungsstand zu den institutionalisierten Sicherungsniveaus sozialer Sicherungssysteme
Das vorliegende Arbeitspapier stellt den aktuellen Stand der Forschung zu den institutionalisierten Sicherungsniveaus sozialer Sicherungssysteme dar. Die beiden institutionalisierten Sicherungsniveaus sind zum einen die Mindestsicherung zur Armutsprävention und zum anderen das wohlfahrtsstaatliche Zielsicherungsniveau für den sozialpolitisch konstruierten, d.h. idealtypisch konzipierten Durchschnittsbürger. Ziel des Arbeitspapiers ist es, eine Grundlage für die Analyse der beiden Sicherungsniveaus in europäischen Staaten im Hinblick auf deren Ausrichtung auf den Sozialbürger als Individuum oder als Familienmitglied bereitzustellen, die wir in unserem Forschungsprojekt INDIV (Die wohlfahrtsstaatliche Individualisierung der social citizens: Entwicklungen und Widersprüche in Europa, gefördert von der Fritz Thyssen-Stiftung) im Längs- und Querschnitt untersuchen.
In diesem Arbeitspapier erörtern wir zunächst die Konzeption des Sozialbürgers und der sozialen Sicherung. Anschließend stellen wir dar, wie soziale Sicherungsniveaus in der Forschung allgemein diskutiert werden, bevor wir darauf eingehen, wie die beiden Sicherungsniveaus, also das Zielsicherungsniveau und die Mindestsicherung, in der Literatur jeweils erörtert werden.
