The aim of this research project is to examine the role and activity of church youth associations in West Germany as a part of the Third World Movement as well as the reciprocal relations between the associations and this movement. In doing so, it attempts to contribute to a better understanding of the structures, mechanisms and social anchorage of new social movements under the terms of societal and religious change in the 1970s and 1980s. The study focuses on three interconnected questions: first, the position of church youth associations within the Third World Movement conditioned by their relation to the other parts and agents of the movement and by their self-conception; second, interdependency between the movement participation of the associations and their situation inside church structures whereat they can be also considered as movements within the churches; third, the movement participation examined from socialization perspective and the relationship between political and religious dimensions of socialization. The main objects of the study will be the Federation of German Catholic Youth (BDKJ) and the Protestant Youth Association (aej) as umbrella organisations. This intermediate level of observation allows to follow the general development of church youth movement participation and to put it in relation to the inner logic of the established church organisation as well as to regard the relevance of denominational factors or interdenominationality. In terms of methodology, the study adopts approaches of social movement research including socialization and organisation theory perspectives.

本研究项目的目的是研究作为第三世界运动一部分的西德教会青年协会的作用和活动，以及协会与该运动之间的相互关系。在这样做的过程中，它试图有助于更好地了解在1970年代和1980年代社会和宗教变化的条件下新社会运动的结构、机制和社会基础。该研究集中在三个相互关联的问题上：第一，教会青年协会在第三世界运动中的地位受其与运动的其他部分和代理人的关系以及其自我概念的制约；第二，协会的运动参与与其在教会结构内的情况之间的相互依存关系，在这种情况下，它们也可以被视为教会内部的运动；第三，从社会化视角考察运动参与以及政治与宗教社会化维度的关系。研究的主要对象将是德国天主教青年联合会（BDKJ）和新教青年协会（aej）作为伞状组织。这种中间水平的观察允许跟随教会青年运动参与的总体发展，并将其与已建立的教会组织的内在逻辑联系起来，以及考虑教派因素或教派间性的相关性。在方法论上，本研究采用社会运动研究的方法，包括社会化和组织理论的视角。
