Since World War ii, international non-governmental organizations (ingos) have in general enjoyed significant development although their complete international legal status is not practically in place. However, during the recent course of accelerated economic globalization and waning national sovereignty, ingos' development has been limited by the laws framed by the ingo-importing countries. This paper attempts to portray the dynamics of ingos' legal environment by comparing the legal frameworks in different kinds of ingo-importing countries. It is concluded that different legal environments reflected the different clashes among sovereign states, global market and civil societies.

Nearly all fractions within the political, economic, and social spheres gave responses to the recent financial crisis. In broad terms, both left-leaning and right-leaning scholars and commentators presented their explanations for the crisis, with confident agendas defining 'what is wrong' and how to deal with it. However, as intellectual history shows us, most of those explanations were no less fascinating precisely because they shared more that they acknowledged. A major divide has been over the role of governments in coordinating markets, or, in the case of Roberts'sThe Logic of Discipline, the role of markets in coordinating governments. In this essay, I offer an overview of Alasdair Roberts's arguments inThe Logic of Discipline. Gradually, I extend the examined issues beyond the state-market dichotomy, arguing that only in understanding the interactive force of the two can a systemic analysis of capitalism hope to be plausible.

Purpose
– This paper aims to examine the central place of the list and the associated concept of an identifier within the "scaffolding" of contemporary government order.


Design/methodology/approach
– These terms are deliberately chosen to make strange and help unpack the constitutive capacity of information systems and information technology within and between contemporary government agencies. We draw upon the substantial body of work by John Searle to help understand the place of lists in the constitution of the order of governance.


Findings
– To enable us to ground our discussion of the potentiality and problematic associated with lists, we describe a significant and modern instance of list-making, situated around the issue of digital identity management.


Originality/value
– The theoretical framework discussed allows us to better explain breakdowns in the institutional order characteristic of this domain.

"Internationale Konferenzen sind ein wichtiger Bestandteil des globalen Regierens: Hier werden internationale Normen und Regeln ausgehandelt. Die Blütezeit dieser Konferenzen ist jedoch vorbei: Andere Governance-Formen gewinnen immer weiter an Bedeutung." (Autorenreferat)
