Rethinking Politicisation in Politics, Sociology and International Relations
This book decisively advances the academic debate on politicisation beyond the state of the art. It is the first book to theorise and conceptualise ‘politicisation’ across the epistemic communities of different subdisciplines, bringing together the different strands in the debate: (international) political theory, political sociology, comparative politics, EU studies, legal theory and international relations. This provides a comprehensive discussion of different concepts of politicisation, their ontological and theoretical backgrounds, and their analytical value, including speech-act, practice- and actor-oriented approaches. Furthermore, the linkages of politicisation to the concepts of ...
The Universal Republic
Can humanity achieve collective self-government in a highly interdependent world? Catastrophic climate change, biodiversity loss, pandemics, war and displacement, the dangers of nuclear weapons and new technologies, and persistent poverty and inequality are among the global challenges that expose the weaknesses of existing international institutions as well as the profound disparities of power and vulnerability that exist among the world's people. The Universal Republic: A Realistic Utopia? examines whether a democratic world state is a feasible and desirable solution to the problem of establishing effective and just governance on the planet we share. While this question has haunted thinkers...
The Oxford Handbook on the United Nations
This Handbook provides in one volume an authoritative and independent treatment of the UN's seventy-year history, written by an international cast of more than 50 distinguished scholars, analysts, and practitioners. It provides a clear and penetrating examination of the UN's development since 1945 and the challenges and opportunities now facing the organization.

Triggerpunkte
»Soziale Konflikte sind nie einfach nur da, sie werden auch gesellschaftlich hergestellt: entfacht, angeheizt, getriggert.« Von einer »Spaltung der Gesellschaft« ist immer häufiger die Rede. Auch in der Alltagswahrnehmung vieler Menschen stehen sich zunehmend unversöhnliche Lager gegenüber. So plausibel sie klingen mögen, werfen entsprechende Diagnosen doch Fragen auf: Wie weit liegen die Meinungen in der Bevölkerung wirklich auseinander? Und ist die Gesellschaft heute wirklich zerstrittener als zur Zeit der Studentenproteste oder in den frühen Neunzigern? Nicht zuletzt weil man eine Spaltung auch herbeireden kann, tut mehr Klarheit not. Steffen Mau, Thomas Lux und Linus Westheuser...
Stadt, Land, Frust
Der Gegensatz zwischen Stadt und Land ist eine der wirkmächtigsten politischen Konfliktlinien unserer Zeit. Mittlerweile erschüttert er auch die föderale Konsensdemokratie der Bundesrepublik: Während die Kluft zwischen urbanen Zentren und der Peripherie zunimmt, versuchen die Parteien immer stärker, die lokalen Identitäten der Bürger politisch zu mobilisieren. Lukas Haffert vermisst mit seinem Buch die Geografie der neuen Polarisierung in Deutschland. Bei keiner Bundestagswahl war der Stadt-Land-Graben so tief wie bei der im September 2021. Zunehmend prägt dieser Konflikt also auch die politische Landschaft in Deutschland. Der Aufstieg des Rechtspopulismus ist dabei nur die eine Seit...

The New Politics of Class
This book explores the new politics of class in 21st century Britain. It shows how the changing shape of the class structure since 1945 has led political parties to change, which has both reduced class voting and increased class non-voting. This argument is developed in three stages. The first is to show that there has been enormous social continuity in class divisions. The authors demonstrate this using extensive evidence on class and educational inequality, perceptions of inequality, identity and awareness, and political attitudes over more than fifty years. The second stage is to show that there has been enormous political change in response to changing class sizes. Party policies, politi...
