Das Gelingen demokratischer Repräsentation wird immer wieder in Frage gestellt. Krisenrhetorik von innen und außen trägt zur Verunsicherung bei, ob parlamentarische Demokratien die sich auftürmenden Großfragen lösen können. Zu den Krisenmarkierungen gehört die Diagnose der "Entparlamentarisierung". Die Bezeichnung ist vage und vielfältig einsetzbar, kann parlamentsfreundliche Kritik ebenso transportieren wie parlamentsfeindliche Ressentiments. Historische Distanzierung ist notwendig, will man das analytische Potential bewahren. Entparlamentarisierungsdiagnosen sind denn auch älter als die postmodernen Postparlamentarismus-Narrative der 1990er Jahre vermuten lassen. Der Band bietet Einblicke in die komplexen Praxis- und Deutungsgeschichten des Parlamentarismus im 20. Jahrhundert. Sie spiegeln den Kampf um die parlamentarische Demokratie im 20. Jahrhundert, zeitgebunden, aber nicht vergangen

From the mid-twelfth century onwards, the development of European hospitals was shaped by their claim to the legal status of religious institutions, with its attendant privileges and responsibilities. The questions of whom hospitals should serve and why they should do so have recurred — and been invested with moral weight — in successive centuries, though similarities between medieval and modern debates on the subject have often been overlooked. Hospitals' legal status as religious institutions could be tendentious and therefore had to be vigorously defended in order to protect hospitals' resources. This status could also, however, be invoked to impose limits on who could serve in and be served by hospitals. As recent scholarship demonstrates, disputes over whom hospitals should serve, and how, find parallels in other periods of history and current debates

Das Feld der Migrantenorganisationen in NRW ist angesichts unterschiedlicher Migrationen, Herkunftsgruppen, des intergenerationalen Wandels und der Reproduktion weltanschaulicher, politischer und religiöser Diversität in den Herkunftsländern stark fragmentiert. Dennoch bestehen zahlreiche verbandliche Interessenvertretungen, die Migrantenorganisationen zusammenfassen. Die Studie leistet erstmalig eine Übersicht der migrationsbezogenen verbandlichen Organisationen in NRW, auf deren Grundlage eine Modellierung der migrationsbezogenen politischen Interessenvertretung erfolgt und eine Abschätzung der Kooperationsmöglichkeiten und der Förderperspektiven getroffen werden kann.

The US Navy is the most formidable naval force in the world-yet, it seems ill-suited to face today's challenges, especially the rise of China's maritime power. What explains this paradox? Looking for answers, John Hanley explores how the navy has negotiated its place in the broad national security establishment, especially in the decades since World War II. Hanley is particularly interested in the evolution of the navy's organizational and operational dynamics. Tracing how it has adapted to peace and war over time, he sheds light on its relationships within the ecosystem (Congress, the DoD, the defense industry, etc.) in which it operates, and how it has attempted to adapt and respond to shifting national and global environments

This book explores the what, the why, and the how of the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan almost 20 years after their removal from power. It examines how the U.S. discourses on War on Terror and state-building in Afghanistan have taken shape, became dominant over the past two decades, and to delineate their consequences. Also, it highlights how both discourses are representative of wider depoliticization of the society and eventually paved the way for the illiberal, oppressive politics of confinement and necropolitics.
