The old social contract of the Federal Republic is dead! But what comes next? Various actors and processes of change have contributed to the conditions, functionalities and effects of the old social contract being overridden. The aim of this seminar is to trace these processes. What has broken away, what gaps have arisen as a result, what approaches can be identified that point towards a new social contract?
