On social order, division and unification

How can we find democratic consensus in difficult times? To what extent has Germany been »unequally united« since 1990?

If you look at fundamental social issues, you will come across one of the most important voices in German social research: Steffen Mau, Professor of Macrosociology at the Institute of Social Sciences at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. With his research on transnationalisation, social inequality, European integration and migration, Steffen Mau makes a significant contribution to the culture of debate in confrontation with processes of social change. He has been a member of the German government's Expert Council on Integration and Migration since 2021, writes award-winning social science bestsellers and has been honoured with the prestigious Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, among other awards.
