Systematizing democratic systems approaches seven conceptual building blocks
No full textThe notion that democracy is a system is ever present in democratic theory. However, what it means to think systemically about democracy (as opposed to what it means for a political system to be democratic) is under-elaborated. This article sets out a meta-level framework for thinking systemically about democracy, built upon seven conceptual building blocks, which we term (1) functions, (2) norms, (3) practices, (4) actors, (5) arenas, (6) levels, and (7) interactions. This enables us to systematically structure the debate on democratic systems, highlighting the commonalities and differences between systems approaches, their omissions, and the key questions that remain to be answered. It also enables us to push the debate forward both by demonstrating how a full consideration of all seven building blocks would address issues with existing approaches and by introducing new conceptual clarifications within those building blocks
Bürgerräte als Ergänzung der parlamentarischen Demokratie: Lehren vom „Bürgerrat Demokratie“
No full textCitizen deliberation in Germany: lessons from the ‘Bürgerrat Demokratie’
No full textThis article explores the capacity of randomly-selected, citizen deliberation procedures to deliver on their promise to generate inclusive and considered citizen judgements, connecting these to political authority and the broader public sphere. These ‘mini-publics’ are increasingly adopted in representative democratic systems. Germany is no exception and has been at the forefront of this trend. The article begins with a historical overview of citizen deliberation in Germany, followed by in-depth analysis of the pioneering case of the Bürgerrat Demokratie. This analysis shows mini-publics can produce more inclusive and considered citizen input into policy-making than self-selected participation, but highlights the need for attitudinal stratification in participation selection if mini-publics are to represent politically alienated citizens. Furthermore, it details how the Bürgerrat Demokratie's combination of an innovative, four-phase process design with civil society campaign expertise holds lessons for connecting citizen deliberation to both political authority and the public sphere without institutionalising the process
Motive und Motivationen als Grundlage menschlichen Verhaltens – Überlegungen zu einer integrativen Motivationstheorie
No full textDie Untersuchungen der Autorin zur Motivation führen zu dem Schluss, dass Grundmotive im Menschen genetisch angelegt sind. Diese sind implizit in seinem Menschen- und Weltbild vorhanden und werden in situativen Motivationsprozessen aktualisiert. Das Motiv der Hilfeleistung, das in therapeutischen oder beraterischen Prozessen beim Therapeuten aktiviert ist, findet ein Gegenüber im Motiv der Suche nach Hilfe beim Klienten. Beide Seiten folgen einem, von der Autorin dargestellten intersubjektiven Motivationsprozess.The author’s research focuses on the origin and development of motives and moti¬vation with special emphasis on the motive of helpfulness in therapy or consulting. Helpfulness is an essential of the human character. It determines our concepts of the world and of mankind. From an integrative point of view the author discusses the origins of motives in man and develops a structural model of the process of motivation and behaviour of both, client and therapist.https://www.fpi-publikation.de/polyloge/13-2012-jaekel-brigitte-motive-und-motivationen-als-grundlage-menschlichen-verhaltens/peerReviewedpublishedVersio

No full text THE VIENNESE PERIOD IN ADOLF HITLER’S LIFE AS PRESENTED BY BRIGITTE HAMANN AND AUGUST KUBIZEKThe article discusses the literature and the findings concerning the relatively least explored questions concerning Adolf Hitler, namely those of his youth. As the author stresses, just over a dec­ade ago Polish readers interested in the Hitler phenomenon knew much less than they do now. Thanks to several books recently published in Poland they have had a chance to considerably expand their knowledge. The present author points to two figures, Brigitte Hamann and August Kubizek, focusing on the similarities and differences in their approach to this period of Hitler’s life.
