Dr. Guderjan erforscht aktuelle politische, soziale und kulturelle Transformationen in Großbritannien, insbesondere im Kontext des Brexits und der britisch-deutschen Beziehungen. Er organisiert und koordiniert interdisziplinäre Forschungsnetzwerke und Konferenzen, um Expertisen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen zusammenzubringen und komplexe gesellschaftliche Übergangsprozesse systematisch zu analysieren. Für Unternehmen und öffentliche Institutionen kann diese Arbeit Orientierung bei der Bewältigung von Unsicherheiten in transnationalen Geschäftsbeziehungen und politischen Rahmenbedingungen bieten. Die Forschung ist relevant für Branchen mit starken UK-Deutschland-Verflechtungen sowie für Organisationen, die sich mit Governance und strategischer Planung in Zeiten politischer Instabilität befassen.

HU-FIS-Profil ↗The complexity of the current cultural, social, political and economic situation both in the UK and in Germany demand an interdisciplinary perspective. Our conference and research network bring the experts together so that knowledge exchange during the event leads to a broader perspective and a more sustained interdisciplinary argument in the written publication.
The conference, Britain in Transition, will provide a valuable opportunity for participants and attendees to examine the internal and external state of the UK, three years after its citizens voted in a referendum to leave the EU. It will discuss, scrutinise and map out the origins and trajectories of this period of radical transition, looking, in particular, at the prospects of transformative processes in the UK: What has been in the past? How and why are things changing so radically now? Where will these changes take us? In the light of current events, political and economic transformations will inevitably sit at the heart of the conference, but the social, cultural and historical dynamics that are intertwined with these transformations will also form a major part of the discussion.

The article explores a new, dynamic conceptual framework to understand the relations between local government and the European Union (EU). It argues that, first, the fusion approach explains the systemic linkages between European integration and corresponding change within cities, counties and municipalities. Secondly, fusion dynamics are slowly emerging across European and local levels, whereby competencies and resources are merging and policies become synchronised under Europe 2020 and the European Cohesion Policy. Thirdly, the fusion approach provides an understanding of the attitudes of local actors towards European integration. In order to show the relevance of fusion, the article presents the findings of five empirical indicators: the absorption of EU policies and legislation; attention towards EU policies; institutional adaptation; EU-related action of local government and attitudes towards European integration. It also compares local government in two contrasting regions with regard to their political autonomy – North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany and the North West of England.

The article explores the theoretical capabilities of the fusion approach as a conceptual ‘kit’ to explain the ‘bigger picture’ of European integration from a local government perspective. Fusion addresses the rationales and methods facilitating the transfer of policy-making competences to the European level. It understands European integration as a merging of public resources and policy instruments from multiple levels of government, whereby accountability and responsibilities for policy outcomes become blurred. The article argues that the fusion approach is useful to explain the systemic linkages between macro-trajectories and the corresponding change at the local level; the fusion dynamics of the local and European levels in a common policy-cycle; and the attitudes of local actors towards the EU. Although the article concludes that local government is rather modestly ‘fused’ into the EU, fusion approaches allow examining the extent to which the local level has become integrated into the European governance system.
