Schader Foundation to social scientists who have made a contribution to the practical
solution of social problems. It is the largest German social science award. In
1999 it had been given to Prof. Renate Mayntz, founding director of the MPIfG.
In November 2000, Wolfgang Streeck was awarded the degree of Doctor of
Science honoris causa by the University of Birmingham, England, in a ceremony
marking the university’s hundreth anniversary at the British Embassy in Berlin.
The honorary degree was awarded to Streeck for his “distinctive contribution to a
better understanding of German politics and society in Great Britain and … [for]
the great value of his research work in comparative social science and politics.”
In April 2002, Renate Mayntz and Fritz W. Scharpf were elected Foreign Honorary
Members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In October of the
same year, Renate Mayntz was among the first three scholars to receive an honorary
doctorate from the European University Institute in Florence.
