The economic crisis in Europe has placed solidarity at the top of public and policy agendas. But how strong is solidarity amongst Europeans, after almost 60 years of European integration? What do we know about beneficial and detrimental factors? And what should be done to safeguard or enhance European solidarity at the level of citizens, non-governmental organisations and policies? These and other questions were at the centre of TransSOL.
TransSOL was a transnational research project dedicated to providing systematic and practice-related knowledge about European solidarity at times of crisis. It brought together researchers and civil society practitioners from eight European countries—Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The project started in June 2015 and ran until May 2018 (https://doi.org/10.3030/649435).
Work package 5 was devoted to the assessment and cross-country comparison of European solidarity in the public sphere. Here, the aim was to study public claims-making and the underlying ideas and norms of solidarity discussed in the mainstream mass media and online media. In particular, we sought to identify the extent to which European solidarity is granted public awareness and recognition, and what claims on behalf of or against European solidarity are made, and by whom. Moreover, we aimed to understand the discursive construction, reproduction or corrosion of European solidarity in all its contentiousness. Finally, we wished to show how claims and discourses about European solidarity are related to debates about European identities and cultures, and what effects contentions between various allegiances have. Findings helped to better understand if and to what extent public discourses, collective images and public opinions might have an inhibiting or beneficial impact on transnational solidarity at the individual and organisational levels.
Transition to Adulthood and Collective Experiences Survey (TRACES) is a research program focusing on war and economical victimization in ex-Yugoslavia and their impact on young adult's attitudes and values. The main quantitative survey was launched in 2006; Principal Investigator: Dario Spini; Project Coordinator: Guy Elcheroth. Its design included two partially embedded samples following a random sampling strategy stratified in 80 areas covering the entire ex-Yugoslavian territory. An individual-based questionnaire (Cohort sample, including individuals born between 1968 and 1974; N = 2'254) was coupled with a representative sample of the adult population (Random sample; N = 3'975). This second sample enabled to record, using life calendars, valid data on the experiences communities faced from 1990 to 2006 and during individuals' transition to adulthood (from 15 to 35 years old) across diverse regions of former Yugoslavia. As a result TRACES presents an innovative multilevel survey design enabling the location of respondents' experiences in time and space. This methodological and technical report provides details about survey design and instruments, about the context of the production of data and data quality. The purpose is to offer information as transparent as possible for current and future data users and to share this experience with the broad scientific community.

Conventions are arbitrary rules of behavior that coordinate social interactions. Here we study the effects of individuals' social value orientations (SVO) and situational conditions on the emergence of conventions in the three-person volunteer's dilemma (VOD). The VOD is a step-level collective good game in which only one actor's action is required to produce a benefit for the group. It has been shown that if actors interact in the payoff-symmetric VOD repeatedly, a turn-taking convention emerges, resulting in an equal distribution of payoffs. If the VOD is asymmetric, with one "strong" actor having lower costs of volunteering, a solitary-volunteering convention emerges by which the strong actor volunteers earning less than others. In study 1 we test whether SVO promotes turn-taking and hampers solitary-volunteering. We find that groups with more prosocials engage less in turn-taking and no effect of SVO on the emergence of solitary-volunteering. In study 2 we test whether making one actor focal is sufficient for solitary-volunteering to emerge. We find instead that payoff asymmetry with one strong actor is a necessary precondition. We discuss explanations for our findings and propose directions for future research.
This project examines the factors that determine support or rejection of welfare state measures, either based on individualised allowances (e.g. welfare or professional pension system), or on collective responsibility, which is institutionalised with egalitarian allowances (e.g. national pension system), or with granting of collective rights to groups (e.g. maternity leave). The project features a survey carried out with standardised face-to-face interviews on a representative sample (800 respondents) in four Swiss cities, Lausanne, Neuchâtel, Bern and St.Gallen. The legitimacy granted to the welfare state should namely depend on recognition of minorities (e.g. immigrants, homosexuals, unemployed), on defence of national values, on awareness of structural inequalities (e.g. between men and women), on feelings of powerlessness, and on risk evaluations. Opinion differences between cities, social classes, age and gender groups will also be analysed.
This dataset comprises initiatives from civil society organizations to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in 18 countries in Latin America. This dataset complements the "LATINNO Dataset on Democratic Innovations in Latin America" and the "Collective Intelligence Initiatives against COVID-19 in Latin America Dataset", which only include cases that fulfill three criteria: direct citizen participation, design able to impact on policy cycle, and aim to enhance democracy. Case descriptions are provided only in Spanish and Portuguese.
The project explores the extent to which transnational private governance affects the capacity of workers to take collective action in pursuit of improvements in employment conditions in developing countries.
Transnational private labour regulation such as corporate codes of conduct and multi-stakeholder standards on labour, environment or human rights claim to respond to the governance deficits that have arisen as a result of the globalization of global production networks. Yet, little consensus exists about the effectiveness of their monitoring and enforcement practices or their ultimate impact.
Context
Since the 1990s, the concern has intensified about the responsibility of businesses in global subcontracting chains for exploitation of labour, inequality, and pollution. Many private transnational regulatory initiatives claim to address this concern by incentivizing multinational companies to voluntary sign up to human rights and environmental standards often referring to, for example, the International Labour Organization's core labour standards. The effectiveness of this approach remains a complex and highly debated issue.
Over the last decade, scholars have studied the emergence, performance and problems related to transnational private labour regulation, their interactions on the transnational level and local level compliance. Stepping back from conventional debates on the overall effectiveness of transnational private governance, the project focuses instead on agency: the effect of transnational private labour regulation on the capacity of those involved, especially workers, to act in local contexts. With our project, we explore how different types of transnational private labour regulation, different national settings and different firm-level contexts of application combine to form what we call transnational hybrid production regimes.
Aim
The study examines how these regimes support workers' collective capacity to take action to improve their own conditions of employment.
This study is the data collection across 4 waves of the LOLYS (Longitudinal Lausanne Youth Study) at the University of Lausanne. The general aim of LOLYS is to assess experiences of vulnerability (e.g., stress, discrimination) and regulation strategies (e.g., identity, social support, collective action) of young adults aged 15 to 30 years living in French-speaking Switzerland. Generally, the survey aspires to provide an account of the regulatory strategies likely to decrease or to increase vulnerability among adolescents and young adults aged 16 to 30 years. In this study, we address the multiple mid- and long-term projects of these young adults as an indicator of their planned life course and aims in life. In addition we investigate identity self-definition strategies, as well as experiences of injustice, vulnerability, self-esteem, efficacy and well-being as well as attitudes towards social change.
