Politische Soziologie transnationaler Felder

如何从政治社会学的角度理解和解释社会的跨国过程和伴随而来的治理人民的新形式？大众对政治衰落的诊断，cnn并不认同。相反，我们关注的是那些参与导致建立跨国形式秩序的政治进程的行动者。这样的政治过程既存在于政治领域，也存在于民族国家及其他社会领域。这些关联过程产生了植根于跨国领域的广泛的治理形式。不同的跨国治理形式可以从两个维度来区分：根据其组织形式，它们可能更加以国家为中心或更加独立；根据他们的合法化逻辑，他们可能更民主或专家。该网络追求三个目标：首先，绘制出与政治相关的跨国进程的范围；其次，必须找出适当的分析方法；第三，对已确定的跨国过程模式的概括陈述将被推断出来。为了实现这些目标，该网络聚集了年轻的德语研究人员，他们以前曾使用领域分析方法研究过不同的跨国化政治相关现象，旨在通过加强与植根于法国领域理论欧洲研究以及美国领域为中心的新制度主义的研究人员的合作，创造一个持久的跨国研究环境。

How can transnational processes of sociation and accompanying new forms of governing people be understood and explained from a political sociology perspective? The network does not share the popular diagnosis of politics in decline. Instead we focus on agents engaging in those political processes that lead to the establishment of transnational forms of order. Such political processes are to be found in politics proper as well as other social fields in nation state contexts and beyond. These processes of sociation result in a wide range of governance forms rooted in transnational fields. The different transnational governance forms can be distinguished along two dimensions: according to their organizational form they might be more state centered or independent; according to their logics of legitimization they might be more democratic or expertocratic. The network pursues three goals: First, the range of politics-related transnationalisation processes is to be charted; second, adequate methods for analysing these have to be distinguished; third, generalizable statements on the identified process-patterns of transnationalisation are to be inferred. To attain these goals, the network gathers young German speaking researchers who have previously investigated different politics-related phenomena of transnationalisation using a field-analytical approach and is aimed at creating a durable transnational research context by intensifying collaboration with researchers rooted in French field-theoretical European studies as well as in US-American field-centered neo-institutionalism.
