Frieder Naschold

Frieder Naschold (born March 18, 1940 in Sarajevo ; † November 30, 1999 in Vienna ) was a German social researcher and political scientist.

Life

Frieder Naschold came from an old Swabian family who lived in Calw and Schwäbisch Gmünd. His father taught at a grammar school, but his ancestors ran medium-sized companies in the textile, leather and jewelry industries. Naschold grew up in Schwäbisch Gmünd.

After studying political science, economics, sociology and history in Tübingen, Erlangen and at Yale University , Frieder Naschold received his doctorate in 1966 with the dissertation of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians and Health Insurance Reform: On a Theory of Status Policy . He then worked as a research assistant at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen . In 1969 he completed his habilitation under Theodor Eschenburg with the text Organization und Demokratie , an investigation into the democratization potential of complex organizations. In 1970 Naschold became Professor of Political Science at the University of Konstanz, of which he was rector from 1974 to 1976. In the same year he was appointed to the Social Research Center in Berlin (WZB). There he headed the research focus on labor policy at what was then the International Institute for Comparative Society Research . From 1988 until his death, Frieder Naschold worked at the WZB as head of the work regulation department in national and international research projects.

Political advice

Frieder Naschold worked since 1969 in the government and administrative reform project group , in which Renate Mayntz and Fritz Scharpf were also involved. As early as March 1969, in a presentation to the project group, Naschold analyzed the neglected aspects of government and administrative reform in the Federal Republic of Germany , justifying his criticism with a technocracy of planning approaches. The project group was the first to work in an official government planning based on the moderation method that Eberhard Schnelle had developed together with his Quickborn team.

After the Bundestag election in 1969 , Horst Ehmke, as head of the Federal Chancellery at the time , set up a planning department, which Reimut Jochimsen took over. Since the federal election in 1972 led Albrecht Müller planning department. As part of the reforms for which the Federal Chancellery was responsible, Naschold ran a research project on medium-term financial planning.
