ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This book is the result of my own research and work over the course of three years. I have received support and encouragement from several colleagues and friends who have been a source of motivation, inspiration and helpful feedback. My supervisor Marc Boeckler, Goethe University Frankfurt, has guided me closely on this thoughtful, enriching and rewarding journey. He gave me the freedom to develop my own thoughts, which has been a genuine learning experience. I would also like to thank my second supervisor Christian Berndt, University of Zurich, for his support. Stefan Ouma has raised critical questions and has broadly inspired my research. I would also like to thank Katharina Abdo, without whom I would not have started the research project itself. A great thanks goes to the Konrad-Adenauer foundation. Without the financial support, this research project would not have been possible. Beyond the financial support, the innumerable discussions with scholarship holders and members of the graduate school “Social Market Economy” have been a valuable source of inspiration and feedback. I would also like to explicitly mention those who took part in this research project for generously sharing their time and ideas with me during the times of field research. Thanks in particular to Luis, José, Manuel, Carla, Ivo and M
