That is why I am interested in social cohesion

Through research on migration, integration, municipal services of general interest and cooperative law, I look at the issue of social cohesion from the perspective of different but corresponding points of view. This gives central attention to the cooperative idea, which also underlies municipal self-government. The sub-project on infrastructure cooperatives brings together the different perspectives and develops a guiding concept for sustainable citizen participation.
