“…Here, it has been observed that movement organizations turning to prefiguration and practise-based forms of action tend to avoid any ideational and organizational relationship with a sympathetic political party. Activists as well as scholars advocating a socioecological transformation of society often perceive the parliamentary arena as unnecessary or even detrimental to their struggle (Adloff 2018;Boddenberg 2018;Muraca 2013;Schlosberg and Craven 2019;Schneidewind et al 2018;Wright 2010).…”

“…For this purpose, we use Germany as a case study. In Germany, as in the Southern European countries, progressive, leftist and ecological alternative action organizations have gained momentum against the backdrop of the 'multiple crises' (Brand and Wissen 2018) that the Western world is currently facing, inter alia climate change, biodiversity loss, increasing social inequality, and political apathy (Adloff 2018;Boddenberg 2018;Butzlaff 2016;Eversberg and Schmelzer 2016;WBGU 2011;Welzer 2011). Yet, Germany differs from several Southern European countries in that it did not experience a comparable economic and social breakdown or austerity measures post 2008.…”

Currently proliferating alternative action organizations, such as food cooperatives, solidary agriculture, repair cafés, or DIY initiatives, pursue social transformation at a deliberate distance from party politics. Instead, they concentrate on changing society directly by altering everyday routines and thereby prefiguring an alternative society. Local and experimental movements promise to pioneer social alternatives, which traditional organizations appear to be unable to accomplish. This indicates a remarkable shift, since in the past, social mobilizations often pursued direct social action and party politics simultaneously. The current literature conceptualizes movements and parties primarily as cross-fertilizing allies or even potential hybrids (movement parties) yet struggles to explain why alternative action organizations in countries that have not experienced post-crisis austerity measures have largely abandoned the parliamentary arena. Addressing this gap, we compare contemporary understandings of direct social action in Germany with past understandings: that of the 1920s labour movement and the 1970s new social movements. Applying sociological theories of modernization, we demonstrate that processes of individualization and flexibilization have increased the demand for immediate experiences of social change and decreased the attractiveness of formal organization. Since this makes strategic alliances between movements and political parties increasingly unlikely, societies' capacity to organize long-term social struggles might be impaired.

Inwiefern können für den betrieblichen Teil der dualen Ausbildung Lernaufgaben entwickelt werden, die an die betrieblichen Alltagserfahrungen der Lernenden anknüpfen und gleichzeitig nachhaltigkeitsorientierte Wahrnehmungs-, Reflexions- und Gestaltungsräume ermöglichen? Mögliche Antworten auf diese Frage gibt ein offenes Lernaufgabenkonzept, das im Rahmen des Modellversuchs NaReLe in der Domäne der Lebensmittelindustrie entstanden ist.
