Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt die möglichen Ansätze zur politikwissenschaftlichen Analyse binnen- und zwischensystemischer Konflikte vor. In der Konfliktforschung sind vor allem zwei Forschungsstrategien zu beobachten: die der genetisch-historische Fallbeschreibung und die der Generalisierung via Hypothesen, Modelle und Theorie. Diese Strategien werden mit den "klassischen" Begriffen "ideographisch" und "nomothetisch" beschrieben und mit den althergebrachten scientific communities der Geisteswissenschaften und der Naturwissenschaften verbunden. In Anlehnung an die "Komplementaritätsannahme" wird gezeigt, daß der verstehende und der erklärende Ansatz jeweils unterschiedliche Realitätssegmente beleuchten und einander insofern eher ergänzen als ausschließen.

This paper brings the notion of translation into dialogue with the growing literature on international hierarchies and the historical origins of the modern international order. Leveraging on the writings of Karl Marx, I draw parallels between the exchange of commodities and the translation of linguistic signs in order to unmask the inequalities and asymmetries that pervade the practice of translation. I then deploy these theoretical insights to illuminate the global constitution of the modern international order. In this Marx-inspired reading, the modern international order is cast as the 'universal equivalent' that has crystallized out of the asymmetries and contradictions that pervaded the global political economy of conceptual exchange in the long 19th century. As universal equivalent, the modern international order effectively functions as the socially recognized 'metalanguage' that undergirds the miracle of global translatability and makes international/interlingual relations possible on a global scale. The paper concludes by considering the implications of the analysis for the future of international/interlingual hierarchies and world order.

This paper analyzes the determinants of international financial institutions (IFIs)'s lending decisions to Pakistan. At the example of three major IFIs, the World Bank, IMF and ADB, this paper suggests that political economic factors, notably bureaucratic interest of international civil servants and major shareholders' economic interest belong to the most relevant determinants of international lending. Pooled Tobit estimation analysis for the period ever since when these institutions established their lending instruments to developing countries, confirm this hypothesis. Recipients' need is shown to have some relevance as well but not as strong as bureaucratic interest. Further analysis suggests that IDA and ADB lending is more interest oriented than lending by the IBRD and IMF.
