- Abstract
Parlamentarische Herrschaft selbst lässt sich durch gerichtliche Verwaltungskontrolle soweit brechen und wird zugleich justiziell derart übertroffen, dass Demokratie insgesamt gestört wird, lautet die Ausgangsvermutung dieser Studie. Das Buch enthält wesentlich drei Bereiche: Nachdem zunächst in einem eingehenden methodischen Teil die Eigengesetzlichkeit juristischer Methode gewürdigt und nach Legitimitätsgründen von Rechtsprechung geforscht worden ist, werden Urteilstexte aus dem Blickwinkel des Politischen untersucht: Leitend ist hierbei die Frage, inwieweit im weitesten Sinne die Sphäre parlamentarischer Macht berührt wird und demokratietheoretische Probleme entstehen. Sodann wird eine Synthese der gefundenen Erkenntnisse formuliert. Dabei werden auch ideen- und geisteshistorische Hintergründe berücksichtigt. Durchgehend wird als Folie das Modell der Westminster-Demokratie kontrastiv genutzt. Abgeschlossen wird die Studie mit 23 Thesen. Die Grundsätzlichkeit des Dilemmas von Rechtsstaat und parlamentarischer Demokratie adressiert jeden politisch gebildeten und interessierten Staatsbürger als Leser. Die Forschungsstudie spricht primär Wissenschaftler, aber auch Journalisten, Juristen, Lehrer und Politiker an sowie alle diejenigen, die dem politischen Prozess in irgendeiner Art verbunden sind.

- Abstract
This short book contributes to accelerating the process of recognition of governance studies as a heuristically powerful field of study in two distinct ways. In Part I, it shows first how the governance approach has emerged in response to the limitations of the two main cosmologies that have dominated the 20th century scene type-I liberalism rooted in the market and decentralization; and type-II liberalism rooted in statism and centralization. It proposes a better way to respond effectively to the challenges of effective coordination when power, resources and information are widely distributed into many hands and heads. This new approach has been criticized by the defenders of the ruling cosmologies, but it has evolved effective prototypes of inquiring systems capable of guiding the search for effective wayfinding and for the design of organizational arrangements ensuring effectiveness, resilience and innovation. In Part II, it explores how the governance approach may help in tackling wicked policy problems where ends are neither well known nor agreed upon, and means-ends relationships are either poorly understood or unstable. Three somewhat different cases are discussed: equality where a dominant ideology of egalitarianism in democratic societies is challenged with great difficulty by a cosmology of equability; diversity where, in Canada, maximum diversity would appear to be regarded as optimal diversity, and multiculturalism is propagandized as the nec plus ultra response even though it may be shown to be toxic; and sustainability, where the problem definition and the general direction in which a viable organizational learning regime will emerge are unclear. On both fronts, the book tries to bring a bit of subtlety, a taste for complexity, and some innovative ideas to debates that have wallowed, both at the conceptual and at the practical levels, in ideologically muddy waters.

- Abstract
Increased flows of people, capital, and ideas across geographic borders raise urgent challenges to the existing terms and practices of politics. Comparative political theory seeks to devise new intellectual frames for addressing these challenges by questioning the canonical (that is, Euro-American) categories that have historically shaped inquiry in political theory and other disciplines. It does this byanalyzing normative claims, discursive structures, and formations of power in and from all parts of the world. By looking to alternative bodies of thought and experience, as well as the terms we might use to critically examine them, comparative political theory encourages self-reflexivity about the premises of normative ideas and articulates new possibilities for political theory and practice. The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Political Theory provides an entry point into this burgeoning field by both synthesizing and challenging the terms which motivate it. Over the course of five thematic sections and thirty-three chapters, this volume surveys the field and archives of comparative political theory, bringing the many approaches to the field into conversation for the first time. Sections address geographic location as a subject of political theorizing; how the past becomes a key site for staking political claims; the politics of translation and appropriation; the justification of political authority; and questions of disciplinary commitment and rules of knowledge. Ultimately, the handbook demonstrates how mainstream political theory can and must be enriched through attention to genuinely global, rather than parochially Euro-American, contributions to political thinking.

8. Transkulturelle Politische Theorie : Eine Einführung

- Abstract
Diese Einführung in das junge Feld der transkulturellen Politischen Theorie richtet sich an Studierende und Lehrende der Politikwissenschaft und insbesondere der Politischen Theorie. Dabei werden in prinzipiell voneinander unabhängigen, aber aufeinander verweisenden Kapiteln spezifische Fragestellungen des Feldes anhand von Ausgangsproblemen erarbeitet. Da transkulturell orientierte Politische Theorie oftmals mit naiven Annahmen konfrontiert ist, die es zu differenzieren und relativieren gilt, wird genau das zum didaktischen Prinzip erhoben: Am Anfang jedes Kapitels wird eine intuitiv scheinbar richtige Ausgangsbehauptung thematisiert, die im Verlauf des Kapitels hinterfragt wird.

- Political science, Comparative government
- Abstract
Wie alle Weltregionen, so ist auch der Vordere Orient auf wirtschaftlicher, gesellschaftlicher, politischer und kultureller Ebene von den Homogenisierungsprozessen der Globalisierung erfasst worden. Doch keine Region widersetzt sich diesen Einflüssen derart vehement wie die Islamische Welt. Die vorliegende Aufsatzsammlung von Islamwissenschaftlern, Historikern und Politologen bietet dem Leser eine komplexe Darstellung der Globalisierung im Vorderen Orient sowie der regionalen Reaktionen darauf. Untersucht werden die Folgen der Globalisierung auf die ökonomische Entwicklung der Region, ihre politischen Systeme und sozialen Strukturen (Geschlechterbeziehungen), die kulturellen Diskurse (Euro-Islam, Menschenrechte, Literatur), das regionale Widerstandspotential (Islamismus, Terrorismus) und die Rolle der Region in der Weltpolitik.

11. Death Squads in Global Perspective : Murder with Deniability

- Abstract
Death squads have become an increasingly common feature of the modern world. In nearly all instances, their establishment is tolerated, encouraged, or undertaken by the state itself, which thereby risks its monopoly on the use of force, one of the fundamental characteristics of modern states. Why do such a variety of regimes, under very different circumstances, condone such activity? Death Squads in Global Perspective hopes to answer that question and explain not only their development, but also why they can be expected to proliferate in the early 21st century.
