Douglas Voigt

My research project is an intersection between critical social theory and the empirical study of labour market institutions in comparative political economy. In particular, I operationalise a theory of social justice for the empirical study of the German labour market in the contemporary period, utilising a critical epistemology which attempts to overcome the lack of dialogue between positivist causal explanation, and interpretivist discourse analysis.

My theoretical interests include: Critical Social Theory, Political Theories of Justice, Philosophy of Science, Organisational Theory, and Institutionalism in Political Economy.

My empirical interests include: German political economy, German politics, comparative political economy, international political economy, the political economy of the European Union, and Comparative Politics
