Social Cohesion
Social cohesion. At the level of social systems, we investigate the conditions that can support or harm social cohesion in settings of varying complexity, ranging from informal and formal groups over companies, organizations, to societies. We are not only interested in understanding what enhances or prevents social cohesion but also in merits and dangers associated with either outcome. In this matter, economic, political and legal experts will cooperate closely while seeking interdisciplinary exchange with experts from behavioral research and law.
