Desynchronized Society Political Challenges Interfaces

项目摘要

Our project examines the challenges and mechanisms of the synchronisation and desynchronisation of social fields. We stress the influence of the time factor on political agents and on democratic institutions of contemporary society. We expect corresponding insights by an empirical analysis of the interfaces between politics and social environment. Not only heterogeneous interests, but also conflicting operation speeds are clashing here. In order to capture this, the temporal structures of politics are set in relation to other areas of life (economy, mass media, science and nature). The survey is guided by three central research hypotheses.First, it will be examined if there is a temporal desynchronization of subsystems in modern society. Our presumption is that economy and mass media have a growing influence on social developments, because they increased their operation speed extremely with the help of digital communication technology. Slower areas such as politics are thus pressed for time and subjected to the rhythm of the accelerated fields. Second, the relation between time requirements and time resources of political representatives will be examined. This is based on the justified suspicion that decision-making problems are getting more complex and time-consuming in late modern times, because democratic processes are only able to accelerate in a limited way, whereas the time resources of political decision-makers are shrinking due to exogenous dynamization processes. We assume that there is currently evolving an enormous 'time deficit' in the budget of the political system which must urgently be reduced in order to preserve democracy's capacity to act.Third, it will be analysed how political actors and institutions react to subsystematic differences in rhythm and speed. Our supposition in this case is that political problems of integration and regulation are primarily fought with the development of hybrid organisations and the construction of extra-parliamentary networks.To examine these theses empirically, we will collect data in a central organisation of the political system (Deutscher Bundestag) and in four hybrid organisations that developed at the interface between politics and social surrounding (European Stability Mechanism, Deutscher Ethikrat, Greenpeace, Bundespressekonferenz). At this, four methods are put to use that control and complement each other reciprocally: ego-centered network analyses, expert interviews, document analyses and participatory observations. The project aims to enhance the theory-based analysis of social time structures and to make a constructive contribution to understand the late-modern challenges of western democracies.

我们的项目研究了社会领域同步和非同步化的挑战和机制。我们强调时间因素对政治代理人和当代社会民主制度的影响。我们期望通过对政治与社会环境之间的界面进行实证分析，获得相应的见解。这里不仅有不同的利益，而且有相互冲突的运营速度。为了抓住这一点，政治的时间结构与生活的其他领域（经济，大众媒体，科学和自然）有关。本研究以三个主要研究假设为指导：第一，将检验现代社会中是否存在子系统的时间非线性化。我们的假设是，经济和大众传媒对社会发展的影响越来越大，因为它们在数字通信技术的帮助下极大地提高了它们的运行速度。因此，像政治这样的较慢的领域就被时间所迫，并受制于加速场的节奏。第二，考察政治代表的时间需求与时间资源之间的关系。这是基于一种合理的怀疑，即决策问题在现代后期变得更加复杂和耗时，因为民主进程只能以有限的方式加速，而政治决策者的时间资源由于外部动力过程而正在萎缩。我们假设，目前正在演变的政治体系的预算，必须立即减少，以保持民主的能力采取行动的一个巨大的“时间赤字”。第三，它将分析政治行为体和机构的反应，以次系统的节奏和速度的差异。在这种情况下，我们的假设是，整合和监管的政治问题主要是通过混合组织的发展和议会外网络的构建来解决的。为了实证检验这些论点，我们将收集政治系统中央组织的数据（德国联邦议院）和四个混合组织，在政治和社会环境之间的界面发展（欧洲稳定机制、德国联邦政府、绿色和平组织、德国联邦新闻会议）。在此基础上，本文运用了四种相互制约、相互补充的方法：自我中心网络分析法、专家访谈法、文献分析法和参与式观察法。该项目旨在加强对社会时间结构的理论分析，并为理解西方民主国家的后期现代挑战做出建设性贡献。
