'In der westlichen Welt mehren sich die Stimmen, die eine stärkere Orientierung am Gemeinwohl als Gegengewicht zu einem entgrenzten Individualismus fordern. Den Deutschen wurde jedoch wiederholt eine unzureichende Akzeptanz des mit liberalen pluralistischen Gesellschaften und ihrem individuellen Freiheitsbegriff verknüpften Konfliktcharakters bescheinigt. Die Arbeit untersucht die Haltungen der Deutschen gegenüber zentralen demokratischen Werten und Verfahren in konsensualen und konflikthaften Situationen auf der Grundlage einer neuen Indexbildung mittels eines etablierten Instruments zum Demokratieverständis und fragt nach der Korrespondenz dieser Orientierungen mit den Erwartungen des individualistischen gegenüber den Erwartungen des kollektivistischen Ordnungsmodells.'

'Communitarians critize a seemingly unlimited development towards individualism in the western world and plead for priority to be given to the common weal. A low acceptance of the political and social conflicts characteristic for liberal, pluralistic societies has been observed in Germany for years. The paper analyzes the attitudes of Germans towards central democratic values and procedures in consensual and conflictual situations and looks at the correspondence between these and theoretical expectations of individualistic versus collectivistic models of society. The research is based on a new index derived from a widely used instrument on democratic attitudes.' (author's abstract)|... view less
