Societies are finding themselves increasingly more often caught up in tensions between a resurgence of nationalism on the one hand and the emergence of global challenges on the other side. This volume includes a selection of contributions from Bamberger students dealing with nationalism and globalisation. The chapters address various societal challenges (climate change, nationalism, welfare state), several scales (national, European, global) and come from different scientific disciplines (adult education, political science, sociology). As such, the contributions mirror the wide range of topics that are of interest to junior social scientists. The first part of this volume contains three theory-driven investigations dealing with the evolution of welfare states in the context of technical innovations, an educational concept to promote sustainability and a new form of imperialism inherent in global structures. Part two encompasses three empirical studies analysing the influence of religion on concerns about climate change, the role of social, economic and political insecurity for the evaluation of the own nation and factors leading to support for further European integration. The publications series Studentische Schriften zu den Sozialwissenschaften is dedicated to make outstanding student papers available to a broader readership. Moreover, it offers students the opportunity to gain experience with the scientific publication process.
