Research focus, presentations and publications during stay

Already in the early 1970s, Claus Offe developed a theory of late capitalism which Lessenich’s concept of activation uses as foundation. As one of the first fellows he did not only contribute a talk on   ‘Participatory Inequality in Contemporary Democracy’ but also initiatied a discussion on the modes of work and ways to secure and document the academic contributions of fellows and staff.

Working Paper “Participatory inequality in the austerity state: a supply side approach“
