The historical development of western civilization has produced several patterns of political opposition deeply rooted and relatively well established in the political systems. This opposition is usually identified with the control of the governed over the government : it is maintained that opposition is at the same time a sufficient and a necessary condition for the existence of such control. Opposition, as the term is commonly used, has the following characteristics : (a) it is political; (b) it is institutionalized in the form of a party or parties; and (c) it is often said that it is also 'responsible', i.e., it does not extend to obstruction of the government's actions. In order to define more precisely the relationship between opposition and control, we must ask two questions of a more specific nature: (i) is opposition a sufficient condition for effective control? And (ii) is it a condition sine qua non for any kind of political control? In spite of some ideological assertions, it seems clear that the answers to both questions are negative. Since the problem of opposition in the two- and multiparty systems is discussed elsewhere, we shall focus here on those mechanisms of control which present an alternative to opposition as institutionalized in the party system.

Das vom Grundgesetz statuierte parlamentarische Geschehen findet vor allem in der politischen Auseinandersetzung zwischen Regierungslager und der parlamentarischen Opposition statt. Diese politische Selbstverständlichkeit ist mit Blick auf den Verfassungstext sonderbar. Das Grundgesetz erwähnt die Opposition an keiner Stelle. Rechtsnatur und Funktionsbereich der Oppositionskräfte ergeben sich scheinbar wie aus ungeschriebenen Regeln. -- Der Autor untersucht in der Arbeit die Rechtsnatur und den rechtlichen Funktionsbereich der Opposition. Dabei gelangt er zum Ergebnis, dass es sich bei der Opposition um eine verfassungsrechtliche Funktion handelt, der keine eigenständigen Rechte aus dieser Rolle heraus zugeordnet werden können. Dennoch enthält das Grundgesetz einen umfassenden Katalog an parlamentarischen Rechten vor, um die Oppositionsfunktionen Kritik, Kontrolle und Alternativfunktion zu ermöglichen

Contemporary political events in Palestine and the United States have drawn renewed interest in the long history of militant Black-Palestinian solidarity. Although many historical accounts typically begin in the post-1967 Arab-Israeli War moment with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Black Panthers in Algiers, this article traces a foundational period of Black radical coalition building with Palestine through Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam. In doing so, it privileges systems of intergenerational exchange and emphasizes the ways in which broader political developments, from Egyptian anti-imperialism to the birth of the Third World project, helped establish the basis for the Black Power movement's identification with Palestine. The article argues that the Nation of Islam and Malcolm X's border crossing and concomitant efforts to forge ties with Arab-world liberation movements explicitly rendered Palestine a referent of the Black Radical Tradition.
