New civil society stakeholders, such as housing policy social movements and migrant self-organisations who demand a say in the design of local social participation form the starting point for the research project. Anything from cooperative to conflict-ridden relationships are possible between municipal and state institutions and civil society stakeholders.
»We will examine the constellations of those involved, their ideas for participation, what demands they make of one another and how the various groups legitimise their actions in this context in three thematic area, namely housing, migration and the environment«, explains the project’s scientific coordinator Dr. Lisa Vollmer from the IfEU. »In Thuringia and Berlin, we will use three case studies to research and support cooperative processes already under way in order to systematise different forms of negotiation and to draw up guidelines for action. We will cooperate closely with partners from the field throughout this process by involving one partner from civil society and one from the local authorities in all project phases for each thematic area«.
In the field of housing, the focus is on the negotiations for the so-called Dragonerareal in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. In the environmental sector, it is on the negotiations regarding Markthalle 9 in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. In the field of migration, the negotiations for anonymous health insurance certificates in Thuringia are examined. These are intended to facilitate access to health care for migrants who do not have legal residence status. The IfEU is responsible for the migration and environment case studies while the IRS is responsible for the housing case study. The Catalan city of Barcelona serves as a European reference city in which a comparative study is being conducted of similar cooperative negotiations between municipal authorities and civil movements.
