Kritische Vernunft für demokratische Transformationen: Festschrift für Christine Kulke
Full text linkDieses Buch zeichnet eine wissenschaftliche Biografie nach und reflektiert so die Entwicklung der gendersensiblen Politikwissenschaft: Die Herkunft aus der Kritischen Theorie mit der sichtbaren Rückbindung an deren Paradigmen, die politikwissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit Arbeit als zentralem 'Knackpunkt' genderspezifischer Theorie und Politik, die Diskussion um politische Sozialisation als Hemmschuh und gleichzeitiger Ansatzpunkt frauenspezifischer Emanzipation und schließlich Globalisierung in ihrer Bedeutung als Chance und Gefahr für eine geschlechtergerechte Demokratie
Improving the Quality of Democracy: The case of Deliberative Poll held in 2007 in Turin
No full textIn our study, we will evaluate the case of Deliberative Polling that took
place in Turin in 2007 in order to understand, whether the Deliberative Poll
could satisfy the democratic criteria outlined in the volume’s framework.
Many empirical studies have explored the effects of deliberation using the
deliberative poll, confirming that participation in deliberation produces different
“democratic” effects: political sophistication, political interest, internal political
efficacy, political trust, political “respect”, political empathy, “sociotropism”
and more positive attitudes toward the political system (Luskin and
Fishkin, 2002, Fishkin 2009, Mansbridge, 2010). Although the main idea on
which deliberative experiments are based is that discussion and deliberation
have a positive effect both on the health of democracy and the citizens involved
in the deliberations, the main focus of empirical research remains primarily
concerned with understanding the effects of deliberation on citizens'
opinions about the issue at hand.
This chapter will follow the analytical framework outlined by the editors.
In order to explore the effects of deliberative poll on the quality of democracy,
it will cover all of the evaluation areas outlined by the framework except the
one on effectiveness. Additionally, using previous analyses of Deliberative Poll
outputs, this study will analyse the perceived legitimacy of the process through
different phases of DP. The results from previous DPs have already offered
some support for the idea that deliberation makes citizens more supportive of
the democratic system (Luskin and Fishkin, 2002). The novelty of our research
is the use of the indicator of citizens' assessment of how well democracy works
– an indicator already used in quality of democracy studies – and to assess how
it changes through different experimental phases of DP. In this way, we hope
to understand not only whether the citizens would become more supportive of
the political system, we also hope to learn which phase has the strongest effect
on this support. We expect that during the phase in which citizens interact withpoliticians they will develop a better understanding of the political process and
thus, increase their satisfaction with democracy.
First, we will briefly describe the Deliberative Polling experiment that took
place in Turin
A New Approach to Map and Quantify Representative Claims and Measure Their Validation: A Case Study Analysis
Full text linkRelying on the theory of Saward (2010) and Disch (2015), we study political representation through the lens of representative claim-making. We identify a gap between the theoretical concept of claim-making and the empirical (quantitative) assessment of representative claims made in the real world’s representative contexts. Therefore, we develop a new approach to map and quantify representative claims in order to subsequently measure the reception and validation of the claims by the audience. To test our method, we analyse all the debates of the German parliament concerned with the introduction of the gender quota in German supervisory boards from 2013 to 2017 in a two-step process. At first, we assess which constituencies the MPs claim to represent and how they justify their stance. Drawing on multiple correspondence analysis, we identify different claim patterns. Second, making use of natural language processing techniques and logistic regression on social media data, we measure if and how the asserted claims in the parliamentary debates are received and validated by the respective audience. We come to the conclusion that the constituency as ultimate judge of legitimacy has not been comprehensively conceptualized yet
Kritische Vernunft für demokratische Transformationen
No full textThis book traces a scientific biography and thus reflects the development of gender-sensitive political science: its origins in Critical Theory with its visible connection to its paradigms, political science's preoccupation with work as the central 'crux' of gender-specific theory and politics, the discussion of political socialization as an obstacle and simultaneous starting point for women-specific emancipation, and finally globalization in its significance as an opportunity and danger for a gender-equitable democracy.This is why, for Christine Kulke, this commemorative volume also presents central themes of gender-specific political science: a commemorative volume and a kaleidoscope worth reading
Von Kritik und Vernunft : Rezension [zu:] Brigitte Geißel, Alexandra Manske (Hg.): Kritische Vernunft für demokratische Transformationen. Festschrift für Christine Kulke. Opladen u.a.: Budrich UniPress 2008. 197 Seiten, ISBN 978-3-940755-20-9, € 39,90
No full textDer Christine Kulke gewidmete Sammelband gibt einen Überblick über verschiedene Diskussionen in der Genderforschung und konzentriert sich dabei auf die Bereiche Arbeit, Politik und demokratische Entwicklungen. Die häufig kursorischen Beiträge liefern Einsichten in so verschiedene aktuelle Themenfelder wie Partizipationsforschung, Gender Mainstreaming und Prekarisierung. Zeitgeschichtliche Erkenntnisse bieten Artikel über Bildungspolitik in der DDR und die Arbeitsverhältnisse von Dienstmädchen. Das Versprechen eines gemeinsamen Bezuges auf die Kritische Theorie und auf kritische Vernunft wird jedoch nicht eingelöst. Die Artikel eint lediglich ihre Herkunft aus der Genderforschung
