Research Interest

The comparison between Germany and France is a part of comparative political science with a focus on politics and policy in Germany and France and its role in the EU. Real problems arising from the interaction of state, economy and society in multi-layer systems function as the starting point of a theory-based comparative analysis. In analytical-conceptual terms, we use actor- and institutional-centric approaches, which can be used as general theorems for different research designs and forms of comparison: the combination of quantitative and qualitative analyzes, the comparison of policies between countries, policy fields and over time as well as mixed methods designs the case studies with a comparison over a mean number of traps (N = 30-90).
