Economic and political interdependences

​The design of measures to combat poverty within the tension field between welfare and coercion is coined decisively by the rationale of financial policy, institutions and networks as well as by cooperation between state and non-state actors. Depending on the priorities of the current political agenda and cost issue estimates, definitions of what is best for the “good” of children, teenagers, and adults will shift. Weighting the relation between self-determination and the protection of society varies – as do the consequences for the persons concerned. Projects belonging to this module will address these questions.
