Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft und Politik

The interconnections between economics, society, and politics clearly shape the socioeconomic and political structures, as well as current ways of thinking and acting, and the collective perception of solution options. It is surprising that these connections are still given so little attention in higher education and school curricula. Phenomena such as pandemics, climate change, migration, or authoritarianism make the close, complex, and contradictory relationships between economics, society, and politics tangible. Against this backdrop, enlightenment through socioeconomic research, teaching, and education is urgently needed. This thematic volume aims to contribute by presenting research contributions on complex issues such as economics and democracy, perspective and multiperspectivity, situation, interest and politics, subject and subjectivation, as well as discipline and curriculum.
