Commission for Cultural Anthropological Studies
Encounters and conflicts between cultures are part of the reality of life today. The Commission for Cultural Anthropological Studies examines the causes of such conflicts empirically and attempts to provide scientifically based suggestions for an ordered coexistence of cultures.
Following the completion of an anthology Begegnung und Konflikt (Encounter and Conflict) (2001) and of a legal anthropological treatise (2009), research is now focussed on the examination of the conditions whereby different cultures may coexist in a neighbourly way. The Commission is composed of members from the fields of ethnology, musicology, legal history, legal, religious and economic anthropology, medical psychology and economic history.
