Historische Demographie im Spannungsfeld zwischen Politik und Wissenschaft.

Speziell in der Zeit zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen avancierte Bevölkerung zu einem viel diskutierten Schlüsselthema. Obwohl die Bevölkerungsforschung aufgrund ihres Einflusses auf die Politik des Dritten Reiches in Misskredit stand, verloren ihre völkischen Denktraditionen in der frühen Bundesrepublik nur allmählich an Bedeutung. Erst in den 1970er Jahren grenzten sich in der Bundesrepublik die Historische Demographie und in Österreich die Historische Familienforschung von einer auf Raum und Struktur abzielenden Bevölkerungsgeschichte ab. Damit wurde nicht nur die Abwendung vom Paradigma des Volks endgültig festgeschrieben, sondern auch ein Durchbruch zur Internationalisierung historischer Bevölkerungsforschungen erzielt. Alexander Pinwinkler analysiert Forschungen und Expertisen zur Bevölkerungs-, Raum- und Siedlungsgeschichte und stellt die Entwicklung der historischen Demographie im 20. Jahrhundert erstmals umfassend dar.

Diese Arbeit stellt den Versuch dar, sich dem Phänomen der Weltgesellschaft aus der Sicht der luhmannschen Systemtheorie zu nähern und verfolgt demnach das Ziel, die hierfür relevanten Begriffe und Zusammenhänge der Systemtheorie nach Luhmann darzulegen.
