Ungleich vereint

Conversation
with Steffen Mau
Moderation: Claudia Dathe
When sociologist Steffen Mau published his book "Ungleich vereint. Why the East remains different" was published in June 2024, the response was great - and not only in East Germany, as the award of the Bavarian Non-Fiction Prize 2024 proves. With historical depth and great empathy, Mau not only describes the lasting differences, but also makes suggestions on how the East could be transformed into a "laboratory of participation". One year later, we talk to the author about the state of democracy in East and West. Have his diagnoses been confirmed? How should the latest developments be interpreted? Steffen Mau is Professor of Macrosociology at the Institute for Social Sciences at Humboldt University in Berlin
