 Ralf Dahrendorf - Die Krisen der Demokratie - Perlentaucher.de, Kultur und Literatur Online
Ralf Dahrendorf, einstiger Vordenker der FDP, hat seine in trüber Mittelmäßigkeit fischenden Partei intellektuell weit hinter sich gelassen.
Dahrendorf lässt sich, lobt Sontheimer, nicht auf begriffliche Verabsolutierungen ein: Diese "schwere Krise" der Demokratie sei vor allem eine "Krise der Nationalstaaten" und schon gar kein "neues Phänomen".
Zum Glück (für den Leser) kann Dahrendorf davon einiges ausgleichen, wobei er immer auch sehr aktuelle Aspekte in seine Gedankengänge mit einbezieht.

 [No title]
Dahrendorf believes that a "conflict" approach, which combines general hypotheses about the nature of power and inevitability of conflict with information about the positions and resources of particular historical groups, is the most fruitful one for sociology to adopt.
Dahrendorf's position is that the stable and recurrent patterns of institutional authority systematically give rise to social conflict between those who have some degree of authority and those who have none.
Dahrendorf disagrees with Marx's argument that people's class positions (in either the "property" or the "authority" sense) determine the whole of their social life and behavior; but he does believe class interests will be more "real" to people who also share a culture.

Europace - Il coma irreversibile dello Stato Nazione :: Risposta a Ralf Dahrendorf
Sono stato indotto a scrivere queste brevi considerazioni dopo aver letto l'articolo di Ralf Dahrendorf "Il declino impossibile dello Stato Nazione" pubblicato dal quotidiano la Repubblica nell'edizione del 19 aprile.
La realtà dipinta da Dahrendorf non tiene conto del ruolo, oramai 'minimo', giocato dagli Stati Nazione nella gestione dei problemi e delle crisi mondiali e del superamento del legame indissolubile tra cittadinanza e nazionalità verso la definizione progressiva di una cittadinanza europea postnazionale, cosmopolita e basata sulla residenza.

 Newman Study Site Dahrendorf
Dahrendorf based his ideas on extensive observations of society and a careful study of the theories and research of other social scientists.
Dahrendorf distinguished social classes on the basis of the individual's ability to exercise authority.
Dahrendorf also identified what he called the "classless group," self-employed people who neither exercise authority nor are subject to itóroughly analogous to Marx and Engels's petite bourgeoisie.

 MARXISM AND CLASS CONFLICT
However, Dahrendorf does not distinguish types of groups or dissociate authority and coercion, nor does he deal with the psychological implications of latent interests, feeling it sufficient to treat interests as a sociological category.
For Dahrendorf and Marx, as in the conflict helix, awareness of opposition and the activation of interests transforms latent interests into a new situation, one of class consciousness.
Both Marx and Dahrendorf, however, particularize their theories to class conflict, whereas in the helix, class conflict is but the most severe form of social conflict, and class opposition is only one form of opposition among attitudes and interests.

 BRING ON THE ENTITLEMENTS - New York Times
Ralf Dahrendorf is one of the most original and experienced social and political writers of our time.
Dahrendorf is concerned with citizenship, with the extension of the rights to which all members of society are entitled and which took the form of civil rights in the 18th century, political rights in the 19th, and (except in the United States) of far less easily enforceable social and economic rights in the 20th.
Dahrendorf devotes a stimulating chapter) he sees not as the product but as the producer of atomized ''mass society.'' It is the result of incomplete modernization, the temptation of people stuck ''between the old and the new'': displaced, rootless and disoriented ''groups without a home.''

 Term paper on Contemporary sociological theory
Though, the conflict theory of Ralf is depicted from the theory of class struggle of Karl Marx, which relates to the class conflict of the industrialized society, there are many aspects of the theory of Ralf that differ from the original theory of Marx.
For instance, likewise Marx, Ralf was also of the opinion that the clash of interests, which leads to coherence and conflict with in the society are basically generated by the difference in structure of the society defining different positions.
Though Ralf’s theory is depicted from Marx work but it is an extension and alteration of the social issues and class structure made according to the contemporary sociology of the various societies and classes that are affected by globalization and the changing trends of global politics.

 Columbia News ::: Lord Dahrendorf Sounds Warning about Rising Illiberalism in Western Countries
Liberalism is under pressure in the United States and Britain as a “creeping authoritarianism” threatens the values that have inspired and brought millions of people to these two countries, according to Lord Ralf Dahrendorf, the renowned sociologist, philosopher and politician.
Introducing Dahrendorf, Christof Mauch, director of the German Historical Institute in Washington, D.C., said he is able to make Enlightenment ideas accessible to many people.
He interpreted the lack of American public protest against the government’s anti-terrorism measures as an indication that “the civic apathy so typical of America is spreading everywhere.” Many Americans are accepting restrictions on their liberties in exchange for the security of a quiet life, he observed.

Dahrendorf explores the theme of the new liberty, being concerned to refashion liberalism to cope with the problems and tensions of contemporary societies.
Dahrendorf's analysis covers endemic economic problems such as growth, inflation and development, the complex nature of organizations, and the problem of political representation.
The solution to such problems must be qualitative rather than quantitative, moral rather than technical, and the crucial question as Dahrendorf sees it is how we are to live.
