AbstractRecent trends in international law scholarship recycle objections to international law advanced by an earlier generation of political and legal realists. Such objections fail to understand the place of international law in the global order. To understand that place, we must distinguish the idea of the rule of law from other understandings of law. That idea is an inherently moral one. Theories of international law that ignore the moral element in law cannot distinguish law as a constraint on power from law as an instrument of power. A Kantian theory of international law can help to recover that moral element.

This article considers the rise and fall of the first institution of international academic cooperation on international relations, the International Studies Conference (ISC), which was established in 1928 and continued activities into the 1950s. Its formation preceded by decades the present ISA as well as the international organisation of political scientists. The demise of the ISC was a result of the failings of the ISC itself, the influence of UNESCO especially its Department of Social Sciences, and the challenge posed to the ISC by the formation of the International Political Science Association.

Die Autorin beleuchtet die Stellung des Nationalstaates vor dem Hintergrund von Globalisierungsprozessen und der Herausbildung einer Weltgesellschaft am Beispiel des Flüchtlingslagers, wo eine nationale Regierung, internationale und nichtstaatliche Organisationen (UNHCR, NGOs) und Flüchtlinge direkt miteinander agieren. Sie möchte damit einen Beitrag zu der Frage leisten, in welchem Verhältnis staatliche und nichtstaatliche Herrschaftsstrukturen in einer transnationalisierten Ordnung stehen. Sie berichtet über die Ergebnisse einer Feldforschung in zwei Flüchtlingslagern in Sambia, die zwischen Mai und November 2003 durchgeführt wurde. Anhand von Beobachtungen und qualitativen Interviews lässt sich zeigen, wie die unterschiedlichen Beteiligten vor Ort die Hierarchie im Flüchtlingslager interpretieren, d.h. welche Deutungen der Machtstruktur auf der Handlungsebene einer transnationalisierten Ordnung wirksam sind. Es wird herausgearbeitet, welche Position der Nationalstaat auf der Mikroebene des internationalen Flüchtlingsregimes einnimmt und welche Implikationen dieses weltweit institutionalisierte Regime für das Konzept des territorialen Nationalstaates hat.

Der Cyberspace gilt als Domäne der Gesellschaftswelt. Kleine Hackergruppen führen "Cyberkriege", "Cyberdissidenten" machen "Revolutionen" und "virtuelle Gemeinschaften" transzendieren die politische Geographie. Mischa Hansel relativiert derlei radikale Transformationserwartungen und macht für den tatsächlichen Einflussverlust der Staaten vor allem deren mangelnde Kooperationsbereitschaft verantwortlich. Am Beispiel der Cybersicherheit wendet der Autor neo-realistische, neo-institutionalistische und psychologische Ansätze auf die Problematik der zwischenstaatlichen Kooperation im Cyberspace an
