Since social sciences and jurisprudence refer to each other in family-related research in many ways, it appears to be extremely important that both disciplines collaborate. They both have in common that they consider it possible that legal norms and societal realities diverge and that this division can be delineated scientifically. From this divergence, they deduce calls for consequences in legal policy. Diverging tasks and viewpoints as well as differing terms and methods may lead to misconceptions that, in turn, can only be identified by mutual comprehension and collaboration. In the contribution presented here, these findings shall be exemplified by several family constellations, such as marriage, civil union, separation and divorce, legal and social parenthood, single parents, stepfamily, socio-family relationship. In the conclusion, there shall be a plea – from the viewpoint of jurisprudence – for an intensification of transdisciplinary research. Zusammenfassung Die Zusammenarbeit von Sozial- und Rechtswissenschaften bei familienbezogener Forschung erscheint als außerordentlich wichtig, weil diese Disziplinen vielfach aufeinander Bezug nehmen. Gemeinsam ist ihnen, dass sie ein Auseinanderfallen von Rechtsnormen und gesellschaftlicher Realität für möglich und wissenschaftlich darstellbar halten und daraus rechtspolitische Forderungen ableiten. Unterschiedliche Aufgabenstellungen und Sichtweisen sowie unterschiedliche Terminologie und Methodik bringen indes die Gefahr von Missverständnissen hervor, die nur durch gegenseitige Verständigung und Zusammenarbeit offengelegt werden kann. Der Beitrag erläutert diesen Befund anhand einiger familiärer Konstellationen wie Ehe, nichteheliche Lebensgemeinschaft, Ehescheidung und Paartrennung, rechtliche und soziale Elternschaft, alleinerziehende Eltern, Stieffamilie, sozialfamiliäre Beziehung. Den Schluss bildet ein Plädoyer aus Sicht der Rechtswissenschaft für die Intensivierung transdisziplinärer Forschung.

The Covid-19 pandemic initially led to high demands for scientific expertise, while at the same time scientific results, for example in the form of preprints, being widely and sometimes critically discussed in public almost as soon as they were published. It is an open question how Scientists react and adopt to the changed situation. With data from the (German) Scientists Survey, it is possible to map the scientists' involvement in the pandemic - across academic positions and disciplines. Our results show that scientists from all disciplines are involved in corona-related research, have started or acquired projects and already published with relation to COVID-19. Social Sciences are even more involved than e.g. life science. Gender effects emerge I such a way that women actually less rapidly adopt to the new situation.

Legal Technology

The article considers the problem of implementing of legal policy as a social technology. The authors compare the concepts of social and legal technology as a set of elements in achieving the goal, and also consider systematicity as the main property of these technologies. The systematic approach is presented both at the decision-making level and at the stages of its legislative execution and practical application in the process of implementing of legal norms. The implementation of legal policy led to the dynamics of legislative changes in recent years. Various state institutions have been reformed and actually reorganized to work on the basis of new principles. Moreover, the reforms of recent years are determined not only and not so much by objective ideological transformations associated with the transition to democracy, the implementation of international law, but also by a change in the technological paradigm of management and implementation of political processes. The actions of the executive and legislative branches, as well as the entire process of legal proceedings in courts of various levels, are considered in the article as unique social technologies, all of which are systemic in nature. The authors conclude that the consistency of power, social and legal technologies serves as a vehicle for political legal strategy, and also allows you to express the functionality of the main legal institutions.

Research In Education

It is well-known that education related research is carried out within different disciplines and frameworks, but how is it specifically connected through citations to the larger social sciences and humanities? And how can this knowledge be mobilized to improve dialogue between researchers in different communities, given the benefits of integrating different frameworks and methods? We used different scientometric methods to show where exactly research in education connects to social sciences and humanities. This multidisciplinary context provokes a set of integration challenges for research in education. We propose how our work can supplement an existing model in order to give a framework for meeting these challenges with the goal of achieving broader education-related collective knowledge advancement.

This article defines information inequality as multifaceted disparity between individuals, communities or nations in mobilizing society’s information resources for the benefit of their lives and development. It then examines related research from a wide range of disciplines that focuses either on information inequality in general or on its specific forms, e.g. information poverty, information divide, knowledge gap and digital divide. It shows that it is possible to identify a number of clusters of information inequality research according to their theoretical perspectives, and that these perspectives have inherited to a great extent the traditional divisions of social sciences between structure vs agency, society vs individuals and objectivism vs subjectivism. Following earlier calls for greater dialogue between divisions of related research, this article goes further to call for integrative theorizing of information inequality in the way exemplified by Bourdieu’s research on social inequality.

Corrupt Behavior

The best way in an effort to manage investment is by transplanting, adopting laws, harmonization by making breakthroughs to existing regulations, such as in the case of implementing the Job Creation Law. The Omnibus Law offered by the government as a “practical and pragmatic” solution is a political and legal policy to cut various regulatory barriers, to simplify bureaucracy, to accelerate services, to increase efficiency, to increase competitiveness, and to prevent opportunities for corrupt behavior. The government must evaluate this law (Job Creation) where there is still overlap without regard to regulations. The statement of the problem in this scientific paper is why there is a conflict of interest and regulations that are not in accordance with the laws and regulations? As normative juridical research, this research is based on an analysis of legal norms. The Omnibus Law is a political product. In the process of its discussion, the law resulted from a political process. The government must evaluate this law (Job Creation) where in the process of making it there is still overlap without regard to regulations.

Humanity is facing a global crisis that has been brought about by the domestication, exploitation and degradation of the natural environment. This crisis is closely interconnected with social structures and processes, and with cultural representations ‐ thus with history and politics, too. Therefore, historically, politically, aesthetically, and ethically reflective approaches that require the expertise of the humanities and social sciences are essential. This is precisely where the environmental humanities come into play, and in this paper, we outline their potential and their contribution to environmental research.

Legal protection against a daily work is very urgent today given the increasing number of them. Governments have an obligation to ensure the protection of the rights of them. This study discusses two subjects. The first is the inventory of labour rights according to the constitution and rules of normative and the implementation for daily work. The second is the substance of the government’s policy to accommodate the protection of the rights of workers based on the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration Republic of Indonesia Number: Kep.100 / Men/VI/2004 about the Provisions in the Implementation of Given Time Employment Agreement. The purpose of this study was to determine the protection of the constitutional and normative rights for daily workers. Next to determine the legal policy of the Indonesian government in providing protection to daily workers through Ministerial Decree No. 100/2004. Normative methods used to analyze the legal norms applicable in Indonesia governing the protection of daily workers. Based on this method, the portion of the protection of the rights of workers will be known. The results of this research are that the rights of an employee still do not fulfil the rights of workers constitutively and normatively. Government policy in the protection of daily workers was still not enough to provide legal certainty, usefulness, and fairness for workers. The government’s policy regarding the rights of daily workers still needs to be improved in order to accommodate the rights of daily workers.

Transdisciplinary Collaboration

The book ends by calling for a new kind of science of the social, one that recognizes the immense challenges posed by the sheer complexity of sociocultural phenomena and the fact that our evolved psychology is not well designed to grasp, let alone address, those challenges. Nevetheless, we live in a time when the potential rewards of transdisciplinary collaboration are richer than they have ever been before. This chapter describes some of the main hurdles to achieving that potential and discusses how these might be overcome. The very enterprise of social science is inherently unnatural, given our uniquely human evolved psychology, and this may explain why the study of the social has proven harder to get off the ground, in comparison with many other life sciences. The resulting lack of consensus on basic matters of epistemology and method has contributed to the creation of theoretical and methodological divisions in the social sciences in the alternate guises of the ‘two cultures problem’ and the ‘silo effect’. The solutions proposed here advocate new forms of problem-centred transdisciplinary research based on the kinds of cross-cultural collaborative programmes described in detail throughout the book.
