Die Arbeit in Projekten ist konstitutiv für Hochschulen und daher eine ihrer typischen Organisationsformen. Anders als Forschungsvorhaben, die zumeist mit der Veröffentlichung der wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse abschließen und durch neue Projekte ersetzt werden, zielen auf Studium, Lehre und Weiterbildung fokussierte Vorhaben auf nachhaltige Veränderungen in den Hochschulen ab. Doch wie kann es gelingen, die von den eigentlichen Organisationsroutinen abgekoppelten Projekte in langfristige Strukturveränderungen zu überführen, sofern sich der organisatorische Überbau durch lose gekoppelte Arbeitsprozesse, Mitarbeiterfluktuationen und einem hohen Maß an Professionsautonomie kennzeichnet? Antworten auf eben jene und weitere Fragestellungen liefert die vorliegende Dissertation, die das Spannungsfeld von Struktur und Handeln der betroffenen Akteure in den Mittelpunkt rückt und sich somit einem Forschungsdesiderat annimmt, dass weder in der theoriegeleiteten Managementliteratur noch in der Organisations- und Hochschulforschung gegenwärtig hinreichend beleuchtet ist.

This is an open access book. This book offers the first overview of the ‘wicked problems’ literature, often seen as complex, open-ended, and intractable, with both the nature of the ‘problem’ and the preferred ‘solution’ being strongly contested. It contextualises the debate using a wide range of relevant policy examples, explaining why these issues attract so much attention. There is an increasing interest in the conceptual and practical aspects of how ‘wicked problems’ are identified, understood and managed by policy practitioners. The standard public management responses to complexity and uncertainty (including traditional regulation and market-based solutions) are insufficient. Leaders often advocate and implement ideological ‘quick fixes’, but integrative and inclusive responses are increasingly being utilised to recognise the multiple interests and complex causes of these problems. This book uses examples from a wide range of social, economic and environmental fields in order to develop new insights about better solutions, and thus gain broad stakeholder acceptance for shared strategies for tackling ‘wicked problems’.

This open access book assesses the consequences of contemporary economic and political crises for intergovernmental relations in Europe. Focusing on the crises arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, surges in migration, and the resurgence of regional nationalist movements, it explores the shifting power balances within intergovernmental relations’ systems. The book takes a comparative analytical perspective on how intergovernmental relations are changing across Europe, and how central governments have responded to coordination challenges as recent crises have disrupted established service delivery chains and their underpinning political and bureaucratic arrangements. It also examines the relationship between recent crises and the sub-national resurgence of territorial politics in many European countries. The book will appeal to those with interests in public administration, sub-national governance and European politics.
