Focusing on the intersection of football and politics, this book provides a comparative analysis of how political actors influence sports and broader societal structures in Europe. It employs a sociological approach, particularly Bourdieu's field theory, to explore the significance of football in European societies. While examining various countries, it centers on Germany, revealing how both elected and non-elected power holders navigate the norms of football. The work integrates perspectives from political science, sociology, anthropology, and sports studies to investigate the dynamics of political power in this unique context.

In this book, important works and approaches of policy-oriented emotion research are brought into a systematic context. For this purpose, three different types of emotions are elaborated, which in their totality constitute Homo Emotionalis: binary emotions, basic emotions, reflexive emotions. They correspond to individual-psychological stages of development, but are also relevant in the social and political handling of emotions. The interplay of emotion types and social constellations leads to different modes of political action, which shape different forms of emotional politics. In each case, individual logics emerge along which emotional politics is pursued. With its interdisciplinary focus, this volume is aimed at political scientists, anthropologists, sociologists and social psychologists.

Die in den vergangenen Jahren stark gewachsenen Europa-Studien unterscheiden sich von der EU-Integrationswissenschaft. Europa-Studien beschäftigen sich stärker mit historischen und kulturellen Kontexten, und sie setzen sich mit der politischen, rechtlichen und wirtschaftlichen Integration nicht allein auf der EU-Ebene auseinander. Das Zusammenwachsen Europas hat viele Facetten, deswegen haben Europa-Studien einen multidisziplinären Anspruch. Dieses Buch nähert sich dem Phänomen der Integration Europas auf fünf Ebenen: Kultur, Politik, Recht, Wirtschaft, Integration. Konzipiert ist der Band als Einführung und Einstieg in die Vielgestaltigkeit der wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit Europa.
