The Society of the Federal Republic of Germany

The various projects pursued in this research unit aim to achieve a better understanding of the Federal Republic of Germany, as a society that is now in the midst of an open-ended process of social transformation. Part of this work involves analyses of post-1945 terrorism and of West Germany’s security elites from the perspective of contemporary history. A second group of research projects employs sociological methods and the concepts of precariousness, vulnerability, and exclusion to further our understanding of the fractures and splits in German society.
