In other words, most of the authors \u2013 who research and teach at Goethe University \u2013 understand compromise as one of THE central tools democratic societies use to manage conflict. No pluralistic democracy exists without conflict, and no democratic conflict resolution works without compromise, explained political scientist Ulrich Willems from M\u00fcnster in his opening remarks. Drawing on John Dewey\u2019s idea of \u201cdemocracy as a way of life,\u201d Willems described compromise as a pragmatic mechanism that allows societies to reduce tensions in a universal, flexible, and nonviolent way \u2013 especially in times of growing polarization. Where compromise is absent, he argued, conflicts are either settled authoritatively by decree or escalate into violence that benefits only one side. (Later in the evening, Greta Wagner introduced yet another possibility: conflicts can also be \u201cforgotten,\u201d sometimes to the benefit of all involved.) These considerations, Willems concluded, offer strong reasons to examine the \u201ccompromise paradox\u201d more systematically in the social sciences \u2013 a paradox in which \u201cone of humanity\u2019s greatest inventions\u201d (Georg Simmel) continues to suffer from a poor public reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Compromise, Positions are not Lost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The newly published volume reflects the conference\u2019s dialogical spirit: \u201ceach contribution is followed by responses that critically comment on, reframe, or expand upon previously stated theses.\u201d Building on Willems\u2019 historical overview of compromise, conflict researcher Nicole Deitelhoff highlighted two defining features: the provisional and conditional nature of compromises, shaped by institutions and formal rules. What is often seen as a weakness \u2013 that compromise merely \u201cpacifies\u201d conflicts for a limited time \u2013 is, in her view, one of its greatest strengths. Provisionality frequently makes conflict resolution possible in the first place. Unlike consensus, compromise does not require participants to abandon their positions altogether. Instead, selected elements of different viewpoints are incorporated \u2013often unevenly, depending on power relations \u2013 while other positions remain outside the agreement and can be revisited later. Deitelhoff also emphasized that compromises are often reinforced by ritualized conditions, such as clearly defined procedures in labor negotiations. At the same time, she noted that even these stabilizing rules can themselves become subject to renegotiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The role of the outsider on the panel was taken by Darrel Moellendorf (\u201cI\u2019m delighted!\u201d), who passionately argued for uncompromising action in the societal conflict surrounding the \u201ctransition away from fossil fuels.\u201d The political scientist and philosopher insisted that certain issues demand an \u201cuncompromising stance because of the urgency of the present moment.\u201d He cited Martin Luther King\u2019s call for an immediate end to the Vietnam War as a historical example supporting his position. Moellendorf presented multiple reasons why compromise is no longer acceptable when it comes to phasing out fossil fuels. His colleagues and members of the audience, however, challenged this view, asking whether the path toward reducing CO2 emissions does not itself require compromise. They also pointed out that the 2035 phase-out target is already the product of extensive negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compromise versus Deal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moellendorf\u2019s controversial position brought into focus two vulnerabilities of compromise that are addressed elsewhere in the volume. When compromises are made half-heartedly, imposed under pressure, quickly undermined, or when previously stabilizing rules lose their authority, compromise risks degenerating into a mere deal \u2013 something widely regarded with skepticism or disdain. Other contributors explore the idea that some issues are more suitable for compromise than others, and that certain conflicts may involve \u201cindivisible\u201d stakes. Political theorist Thomas Biebricher, for example, observes that some political actors deliberately \u201cseek to discredit compromise\u201d, portraying it as \u201cweakness or the betrayal of principles\u201d in order to advance their own agendas. Even so, the authors argue that a culture of compromise in pluralistic democracies can only be defended convincingly if its shortcomings are taken seriously. This includes acknowledging that some compromises are genuinely bad \u2013 whether because they disadvantage third parties or unfairly burden one side of the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Process of Gaining Knowledge a Form of Compromise?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Greta Wagner added yet another dimension to the discussion by returning to the example of climate change. Drawing on a long-term study in a village in the Rheinhessen region, she described how a carefully negotiated compromise helped prevent a larger conflict between refugees and long-term residents, highlighting the role of volunteers who acted as so-called \u201cagents of compromise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final two contributions in the volume venture into a new field of inquiry: they examine how compromise shapes scientific knowledge, or whether scientific insights themselves might emerge through similarly pragmatic processes of negotiation. Alenka Ambroz, for instance, drawing on Walter Benjamin, interprets compromise as a form of \u201ctranslation\u201d \u2013 a process of mediation between different modes of thinking and different languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicole Deitelhoff, known for her gift for incisive formulations, captured the ambivalence of the discussion with a sigh: compromises are fragile and vulnerable in pluralistic societies marked by unequal power relations, polarization, and declining trust in established institutions \u2013 and yet a culture of compromise remains absolutely essential as a \u201cdemocratic way of life.\u201d \u201cDemocracy,\u201d she concluded, \u201cis the most aggravatingly beautiful thing there is.\u201d Why this is so is one of the many questions explored in this volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee\"><strong>Info<\/strong><br><br>Der Kompromiss.
