From Globalization to World Society
Since the 1970s, various sociological approaches have tried to understand and conceptualize "the global," yet few of them have systematically addressed the full spectrum of social relationships. Prominent exponents of the global approach - such as world systems analysis - instead have focused on particular domains such as politics or the economy. Under the label of "world society," however, some authors have suggested alternatives to the predominant equivocation of society and the nation-state. The contributions to this volume share that objective and take their point of departure from the two most ambitious projects of a theory of world society: world polity research and systems theory, mapping out the common ground and assessing their potential to inform empirical analyses of globalization.
Soziologische Jurisprudenz
Die Festschrift Soziologische Jurisprudenz stellt sich sowohl im Inhalt als auch in der Form in die Tradition der Arbeiten von Gunther Teubner. Die Beiträge lassen sich auf seine Leitperspektive ein, indem sie die Grenzbeziehungen von Recht und Gesellschaft mit je eigenständigen Akzentuierungen reflektieren.
Law as a Social System
However, unlike conventional legal theory, this volume seeks to provide an answer in terms of a general social theory: a methodology that answers this question in a manner applicable not only to law, but also to all the other complex and highly differentiated systems within modern society, such as politics, the economy, religion, the media, and education. This truly sociological approach offers profound insights into the relationships between law and all of these other social systems.
Transitional Justice in der Weltgesellschaft
Das Völkerrecht fordert, dass ehemals repressive Staaten ihre gewaltvollen Vergangenheiten aufklären müssen und verpflichtet diese darüber hinaus dazu, den Opfern von schweren Menschenrechtsverletzungen Wiedergutmachung zukommen zu lassen. Tatsächlich ist eine Vielzahl von Postkonfliktstaaten in Mittel- und Osteuropa, in Afrika, Asien, Lateinamerika und mit Marokko und Tunesien nun auch in der Region des Maghreb und des Nahen Ostens dieser Verpflichtung der transitionalen Gerechtigkeit auch wirklich nachgekommen. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass auf der Ebene der internationalen Politik effektive Durchsetzungsmechanismen fehlen, die souveräne Staaten zur Durchführung von Transitional-Jus...
What in the World?
Analysing social change has too often been characterized by parochialism, either a Eurocentrism that projects European experience outwards or a disciplinary narrowness that ignores insights from other academic disciplines. This book moves beyond these limits to develop a global perspective on social change. The book provincializes Europe in order to analyse European modernity as the product of global developments and brings together renowned scholars from international relations, history and sociology in the search for common understandings. In so doing, it provides a range of promising theoretical approaches, analytical takes and substantive research areas that offer new vistas for understanding change on a global scale.
The Palgrave Handbook of the History of Human Sciences
The Palgrave Handbook of the History of Human Sciences offers a uniquely comprehensive and global overview of the evolution of ideas, concepts and policies within the human sciences. Drawn from histories of the social and psychological sciences, anthropology, the history and philosophy of science, and the history of ideas, this collection analyses the health and welfare of populations, evidence of the changing nature of our local communities, cities, societies or global movements, and studies the way our humanness or ‘human nature’ undergoes shifts because of broader technological shifts or patterns of living. This Handbook serves as an authoritative reference to a vast source of represe...
