SCRIPTS is a Cluster of Excellence that analyses why the liberal model of order has fallen into crisis despite its political, economic and social achievements. Interdisciplinary research teams are investigating why alternative concepts of social order are on the rise, how these challenges differ from previous ones and what the consequences are for the global challenges of our time.
Four BR50 members (WZB Berlin Social Science Center, Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient (ZMO), Centre for East European and International Studies (ZOiS) and German Institute for Economic Research (DIW)) from the Unit Social Sciences and Humanities are involved in SCRIPTS.
