Im Folgenden werden Thesen vorgestellt, die auf Grundlage der Ergebnisse der qualitativen und quantitativen Teilstudien des Projekts "SoCiS – Social Citizen Science zur Beantwortung von Zukunftsfragen" entwickelt wurden. Sie adressieren die zentralen Forschungsfragen des Projektes: - Welche Innovationspotenziale sind mit Social Citizen Science (SCS) verbunden? - Welche Bedingungen sind für akademische als auch außerakademisch organisierte Aktivitäten zu berücksichtigen? - Welcher Voraussetzungen bedarf es für eine wissenschaftlichen Prinzipien genügende Partizipation von Bürger.innen an Social Citizen Science? Die Thesen sind in ihrer Verdichtung und Interpretation der empirischen Befunde dieser Studie zugleich als eine Diskussionsgrundlage für die weitere Entwicklung von Gestaltungsoptionen sowie für die weitere Erforschung von Social Citizen Science zu verstehen. Sie adressieren zudem fördernde und hemmende Faktoren für Zusammenarbeitsfähigkeit. Um den Praxisbezug zu fokussieren, sind die Thesen SCS in drei Gruppen zusammengefasst: Zusammenarbeit, Forschung sowie Rahmenbedingungen.

Der Inhalt dieses Zeitschriftenverzeichnisses entspricht dem speziellen Ausschnitt des Datenbestandes der DARE Datenbank, die vom UNESCO Social Science Documentation Centre in Verbindung mit dem ICSSD aufgebaut wird. Die 6. Auflage enthält Angaben zu Herausgeber, Verlag, Sprache, formaler und inhaltlicher Struktur von 3507 Zeitschriften, die regelmäßig in Berichten, Studien oder Artikeln Forschungsergebnisse der verschiedenen sozialwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen veröffentlichen. Nicht berücksichtigt sind Veröffentlichungen, die Nachrichten und Informationen zu sozialen Fragen, Statistiken und Zahlen zur wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung, Übersetzungen, Reprints oder ideologische Stellungnahmen als Hauptinhalt haben. + Die Zeitschriften sind jeweils nach Ländern geordnet alphabetisch aufgelistet. Der Zugang über den Titelindex bzw. Länderordnung ist problemlos. Da die Sachgebietsordnung des Sachindexes nicht sehr differenziert ist, führt die gezielte Suche nach Zeitschriften zu spezifischen Fragestellungen zu unbefriedigenden Ergebnissen. (SWP-Hck)

Under apartheid, white oppression of the black majority was extreme, and South Africa became one of the most highly polarized countries in the world. Confronted by a counter-movement headed by the African National Congress (ANC), the ruling National Party (NP) was eventually pressured into a negotiation process that resulted in the adoption of a democratic constitution. This article outlines how democratization defused polarization, but was to be hollowed out by the ANC's construction of a "party-state," politicizing democratic institutions and widening social inequalities. This is stoking political tensions, which, despite societal interdependence, are provoking fears of renewed polarization along class and racial lines.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY One of the aims of the National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM) is to identify and foster methodological innovation in the UK. The aim of this project was to identify methodological innovations outside the UK and draw NCRM's attention to them. The project sought out research practices that have not yet filtered through to typical research methods courses or that impact on the research process in novel ways. These usually entailed (i) technological innovation, (ii) the use of existing theoretical approaches and methods in new ways and (iii) interdisciplinary. The project's focus on innovative research practices ranged from data collection to analysis and covered disciplines such as (social) psychology, sociology, social work, socio-legal studies, political science (including public health and public policy) and international studies, (social) geography (area studies, demography, environmental and urban planning), (social) anthropology, (socio-)linguistics, education, communication studies, economic and social history, economics (management and business studies), science and technology studies, statistics, methods and computing. The work was conducted between October 2008 and March 2009 and written up in April and May 2009. The project gathered evidence by reviewing previous reports, carrying out desktop research, conducting an e-mail survey with academics, practitioners, research methods experts and others (N=215) - registering data entries in the form of nominations of experts, institutions and links to explore (N=670) - and holding interviews with gatekeepers (N=36) and telephone interviews with nominated experts (N=40). The project concluded, firstly, that innovative methodologies usually entail the use of one or more technological innovation(s) (visual, digital or online). This could be the advent of new software or the development of online methods and the use of the Internet to conduct research. Secondly, innovative methodologies often entail crossing disciplinary boundaries. This is observed in combinations of disciplines and methods such as in ethnography, anthropology and psychology. Thirdly, innovative methodologies often entail the use of existing theoretical approaches and methods in reformed or mixed and applied ways. This is observed in participatory methods, action research, professional work, social and consultancy work. Finally, innovative methodologies reside both inside traditional academic institutions (universities) and outside (research centres, institutes, consultancy agencies and organisations), yet even in the latter methods developers and experts usually have academic backgrounds and previous or current affiliations, status or posts. Overall, psychology figured prominently in methodological innovations and developments followed by survey methodology, ethnography, sociology and management. These developments were classified into mixed (N=8), qualitative (N=7) and quantitative (N=7) types of research. The institutional structures identified as 'hosting' these developments are primarily Academic followed by both Academic and Professional, then Research Centres and finally Professional and Consultancy institutions. The majority of the innovations are a consequence of working across disciplinary boundaries, followed by developments within methods and disciplines and then by developments in technology. Innovations were mainly spotted in North America – the USA and Canada – Italy, Germany and the Netherlands. The report includes summary descriptions of the methodological innovations located by the project. As a follow up to this project a workshop will be organised to bring together some of the developers and experts identified of these innovations. The workshop is planned to be adjacent to the NCRM Research Methods Festival to be held in July 2010.
