Local Effects of Global Crises: Hybrid Organizations in the German Refugee Crisis 2015/16 (HybOrg)

Project team:

Jun.-Prof. Dr. Steffen Eckhard, Alexa Lenz

Objectives:

The HybOrg research project focuses on the administrative management of the so-called refugee crisis in Germany between 2015 and 2016. It asks about the societal effect of variation in local crisis management (Landkreise and kreisfreie Städte). Supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the three-year project aims to create a systematic record of administrative action within the realm of crisis management, analyze its effects on social cohesion, and formulate a set of concrete recommendations for relevant stakeholders.

HybOrg is a collaborative research project which is coordinated by Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Seibel(University Konstanz) and involves researchers at ETH Zurich (Dr. Florian Roth), LMU Munich (Dr. Matthias Fatke), and University Konstanz (Jun.-Prof. Dr. Steffen Eckhard, Alexa Lenz, and Lorenz Neuberger).
