This article analyses the organization of Chinese grassroots social management during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on a range of local cases researched through policy documents, media coverage and interviews, we scrutinize the appropriation of emergency measures and the utilization of grid-style social management since the outbreak of COVID-19. Grid-style social management – a new grassroots administrative division aiming to mobilize neighbourhood control and services – is a core element in China's pursuit of economic growth without sacrificing political stability. Conceptualizing grids as confined spaces of power, we show how the Chinese party-state is able to flexibly redeploy diverse forms of power depending on the particular purpose of social management. During non-crisis times, grid-style social management primarily uses security power, casting a net over the population that remains open for population elements to contribute their share to the national economy. Once a crisis has been called, sovereign power swiftly closes the net to prevent further circulation while disciplinary power works towards a speedy return to a pre-crisis routine.

Der Buchtitel ist Programm: Raymond Geuss, 1946 in Indiana (USA) geboren und seit 2007 Professor für Philosophie in Cambridge (GB), kritisiert in seiner schmalen Abhandlung Klassiker der (politischen) Philosophie – etwa Kant, Rawls oder Nozick – in scharfem, zum Teil auch polemischem Tonfall. Ihren Theorien unterstellt Geuss einen verfehlten Realismus und setzte ihnen einen eigenen, realistischen Ansatz der politischen Philosophie entgegen. Seiner Idee einer politischen Philosophie liegen vier Thesen zugrunde, welche Raymond Geuss bereits in der Einleitung vorstellt. Die Thesen lauten: Erstens: Die politische Philosophie muss realistisch sein. Dies bedeutet für Geuss, dass die politische Philosophie nicht von einem fiktiven Ideal ausgehen, sondern sich mit den realen Motivationen der Menschen oder der tatsächlichen Beschaffenheit von Institutionen beschäftigen soll. Zweitens: In der Politik geht es in erster Linie ums Handeln und um die Kontexte des Handelns. Drittens: Politik ist immer historisch verortet, also immer kontext- und zeitabhängig. Viertens: Politik ist eher ein Handwerk oder eine Kunst als eine reine Theorieanwendung. Zudem wendet er sich gegen all jene Theoretiker, die in der Tradition Kants stehen und dabei Theorien mit universellem Anspruch aufstellen, die
beinhalten, Politik sei angewandte Ethik.

"This book analyses immigration policies in East Asia in the context of contemporary global migration flows and mobility. To assess how global norms of migration have impacted the East Asian migration region and explore regional migration trends, the book contains 13 case studies which investigate the regulation of immigration in China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Three analytical strands, namely norm diffusion, identity politics and citizenship, build the theoretical framework for the case studies which investigate how regional and national norms, discourses and institutions affect local communities and migration patterns. In particular, the book analyses contemporary issues such as immigration policy reforms, practices of inclusion and exclusion in local communities, and discourses on multiculturalism and risk. The book utilizes a comparative perspective which enables readers to reflect on the role of national identity, international organizations and law, public security concerns, and labor market demands in the articulation and implementation of contemporary immigration policy in East Asia. This book substantially complements the existing literature on immigration governance and interregional migration mobility in East Asia and will be of interest to academics in the fields of East Asian studies, Public Policy, Immigration and Migration studies, and Comparative politics"--
