Socioeconomic Grievances, Opportunities, and Frames: Conceptualizing Marginalization and Islamist Radicalization in Post-2011 Egypt and Tunisia, and Implications for PCVE

The article investigates the assumption that socioeconomic marginalization helps explain radicalization, focusing on Egypt and Tunisia after 2011. Using social movement theory and based on a comprehensive study of literature, it identifies key mechanisms linking socioeconomic factors and radicalization.

Ethical Research in the German Social Sciences: Exploring the Significance and Challenges of Institutionalized Research Ethics Practices

This article explores two key facets of institutionalized ethical review processes in Germany: their importance in shaping ethical research and their associated challenges. To address these challenges, this article emphasizes the need for expanding the current management of research ethics and implementing what we call “Institutionalized Research Ethics Practices’’ (IREPs).

Demokratie unter Druck: Politische Extremismen und hybride Ideologien

In Deutschland verlieren demokratische Institutionen an Vertrauen und erhalten autoritäre und extremistische Gruppen Zulauf. Der friedliche Konfliktaustrag und das demokratische Zusammenleben sind dadurch nachhaltig herausgefordert. Seit Langem bestehende Ausprägungen des Extremismus sind weiterhin präsent.
