Approaches to Organisations
Tuesday: 10:00 - 12:00, weekly (from 17/10/23) Description: The seminar "Approaches to Organisations" provides an overview on conceptual approaches to organisations, among them conceptualisations of organisations as rational and natural systems in a closed and in an open perspective (i.a. Weber, Taylor, Luhmann, Scott). The seminar also introduces students to crucial organisational processes such as specialisation and coordination, micro politics and decision-making processes and the interaction between the organisation and its environment. The seminar grants insights in varieties of organisations and enables students to analyse their core characteristics and the inherent processes.

Schwerpunkt Arbeitsmarkt: Inequalities and their Political Consequence (Lehrsprache Englisch, Prüfungsleistung Deutsch oder Englisch)/Advanced Topics in Political Science
Tuesday: 12:00 - 14:00, weekly (from 17/10/23) Description: What effects does labor market inequality have on politics? Does working-class affiliation still influence voting behavior, or do other factors play a greater role? How does this affect the electoral success and vote-seeking strategy of parties? In this seminar, we shed light on these, among others, questions. The seminar will focus on the effects of (labor market) inequalities on the main political actors, that are parties and voters. The seminar is divided into three blocks. First, we look at labor market inequalities and their effects on voters' political behavior and attitudes. In the second part of the seminar we will look at the consequences for political parties and their strategies. In the third part, we will look at political representation and inequality and their effects on democracy. In addition to the content of these topics, you will also learn how to deal independently with relevant literature and current research as well as how to think analytically about relevant questions of politics and political science.

The Individual's Path to Parliament
Thursday: 10:00 - 12:00, weekly (from 19/10/23) Description: Why do some individuals aim to run for political office, while others are not interested in politics at all? Which impact do parties have on the political careers of individuals? And, once elected, how do politicans behave in parliament? These questions, among others, are in the focus of this course. The aim of this course is threefold. First, we aim to shed light on the factors that affect political ambition to run for office of individual citizens. Second, we take a look on the party level and examine candidate selection and the individual's way to parliament. Third, we aim to analyze the behavior of parties as well as politicians once they are elected to parliament. In this course the particpants become familiar with essential theoretical and empirical concepts of party organisations, political socialization and parliamentary behavior.
