Discourse analysis in both its theory and practice is traditionally concerned with politics. The sphere of the non-political rarely attracts attention of the researchers. It appears to be invisible to discourse theorists and unprivileged in empirical studies of discourse. This article aims at filling this gap. With the example of a Russian village it dwells on the discursive organisation of rural communities whose radically "personalised" world resists traditional approaches to political logic and suggests different modes of relations, agency, and power.

This chapter outlines the role of the judiciary in shaping the European administrative system, the major developmental stages of judicial review of administrative action and the evolution of concepts under which judicial accountability has been exercised. In this context, it looks at the consequences for judicial accountability by the increasing integration of administrative procedures in the EU. This chapter argues that such procedural forms of cooperation have been established with a primary concern for efficiency of de-central administrative action but less with regard to possibilities of exercising judicial review ensuring compliance with written provisions and General Principles of EU law and rights of individuals.
