Abstract

The question needs to be faced today how society can influence political developments and create political changes under conditions of ever increasing complexity of all social systems. This question leads to investigating the fundamental changebility of institutions. This paper deals with explaining the sluggish and superficial attitudes of institutions towards expected or required changes of their behaviour. Furthermore an intervention concept for institutional change is suggested. It is applied to processes of changing engineering education in the university, as an example of a fairly change-resistant social system.
