Research

Being a third generation social systems theorist influenced by the works of Niklas Luhmann, Roth's major research is on theories and applications of functional differentiation in (post-) modern societies.[5] Roth was among the first to apply culturomics in sociology, with one major result of this research being that the (self-) definition of modern societies as capitalist or economized may be inappropriate.[5][6][7] Roth is furthermore engaged in research on multifunctional organizations and markets.[8][9][10] He also published on (social) innovation as well as on next strategies for post-capitalism[11] and degrowth.[10]
