Die fragmentierte Verrechtlichung des internationalen Raums, die Proliferation von Regelungsarrangements jenseits des Staates und die Diffusion globaler Normen sowie die daraus resultierenden Geltungs-, Kompetenz- und Autoritätskonflikte sind seit geraumer Zeit ein in der sozialwissenschaftlichen Literatur viel diskutiertes Phänomen. Überlappungen von nationalen Regierungssystemen und von im Völkerrecht verankerten klassischen internationalen Regimen existieren seit der Schaffung des Westfälischen Staatensystems.In jüngerer Zeit verstärkte sich der Pluralismus normativer Ordnungen jedoch global durch neuartige Typen von Regelungsarrangements jenseits des Staates. Auch unter den zwischenstaatlich geschaffenen internationalen Institutionen finden sich solche, die autonome Handlungs- und Entscheidungskompetenzen zugesprochen bekommen haben und diese als Akteure mit eigener Subjektivität ausüben. Hinzu kommt eine immer stärkere Aufnahme von „behind the border issues“ in den Aufgabenkatalog dieser Regime und Organisationen (Zürn 2004). Diese Entwicklungen führen zu einem neuen Grad an Kontestation und Umstrittenheit globaler normativer Ordnungen. Weder die Herstellung einer einheitlichen globalen normativen Ordnung noch eine Re-Nationalisierung des Rechts erscheinen heute als realistische Zukunftsprognosen. Umso wichtiger ist es daher, sich mit den Auswirkungen dieses Pluralismus’ normativer Ordnungen zu beschäftigen.

Mike Rapport is one of the few scholars who write European history not as the history of a few select countries, but of the entire continent. Rapport is at home in the history of the Balkans as well as France, Italy, Germany, Russia, and Scandinavia, and well versed in the historiography published in English, French, and Italian. Rapport's well-rounded viewpoint is one excellent argument for anyone suffering from "1848 fatigue" after the sesquicentennial celebrations and their aftermath in conference volumes and historiographical reviews to put aside any skepticism regarding the possibility of anyone presenting a novel perspective; the book itself is another. In it, Rapport offers a narrative history of the events of 1848 in those European countries and regions affected directly by the revolution--France, Italy, the German states, Denmark, and Rumania--with some remarks on areas where the impact was more indirect (Britain, Russia, the Ottoman Empire, and Scandinavia). This book is less obviously an academic textbook than Jonathan Sperber's excellent survey of the revolutions of 1848, and less encyclopedic than the survey of national events and overarching themes edited by Dieter Dowe and others for the 1998 anniversary. ...
The focus of this work, the debate about a body of law dealing with aristocratic issues, is not easy to summarize. This problem stems in part from a topic that historians who do not work on law might be forgiven for considering nonexistent; in part, it has to do with the indirect way in which Dorothee Gottwald engages with current trends in the historiography of nineteenth-century Germany. ...
Die Herausbildung normativer Ordnungen : zur Idee eines interdisziplinären Forschungsprogramms
(2010)
Ein geistes- und sozialwissenschaftliches Forschungsprogramm betritt mit der These, dass wir in einer Zeit tiefgreifender sozialer Veränderungen leben, kein Neuland. Ein thematischer Fokus auf die Frage der Herausbildung normativer Ordnungen mit Bezug auf die entsprechenden Verschiebungen, Umbrüche und Konflikte in verschiedenen Gesellschaften und auf transnationaler Ebene bringt dagegen etwas Neues und Wichtiges ans Licht. Das ist jedenfalls unsere Überzeugung.
Wer in den letzten Monaten die Zeitungen aufschlug, kam um Hiobsbotschaften über den Zustand des Euros und Europas nicht herum. Von Hilferufen diverser peripherer Mitgliedsstaaten war allerorten die Rede, gar vom Auseinanderbrechen der Gemeinschaftswährung. Die Regierungsspitzen, den Marktmechanismen scheinbar hilflos ausgeliefert, beraten sich auf Krisengipfeln, beginnend mit dem ersten Sondergipfel zur Eurokrise am 11. Februar. Rettungsschirme überall, die dann zu klein sind für die Menge an Mitgliedsstaaten, die man spekulativ noch darunter verorten könnte. Hermann von Rompuy sieht die EU gar in einem Überlebenskampf ...
On the backdrop of the 2008 financial crisis this paper introduces an understanding of societal crises as a reduction in the meaning production of social entities, which can either be internally or externally provoked. The emergence of constitutions and, more generally, constitutional structures, can be understood as responses to both forms of crisis. This is the case because they are double-edged structures which are simultaneously oriented towards the maintenance of internal order and stability within a given social entity at the same time as they frame the transfer of the meaning components between the social entities and their environments. Thus, the 2008 financial crisis indicates a failure of constitutional bonding. When observed from an overall structural perspective, the reasons for this failure can be traced back to an increased discrepancy between the structural composition of world society and the constitutional structures in place. The crisis reflects a failure to respond to two simultaneous, inter-related and mutually re-inforcing structural transformations. First, there is the increased globalisation, which has led to massive dis-locations in the relative centrality of the different national configurations for the reproductive processes of functional systems. Second, there is a structural transformation of the transnational layer of world society through a reduced reliance on the centre/periphery differentiation and an increased reliance on functional differentiation. One of the many consequences of this development is the emergence of new forms of transnational law and politics. A new constitutional architecture which reflects these transformations is needed in order to ensure an adequate constitutional bonding of economic processes, as well as of other social processes.

The concept of embeddedness plays a central role in the segment of economic sociology and social theory which is inspired by the works of Karl Polanyi. But to the extent that embeddedness is understood in a substantialist manner, implying the existence of a unitary lifeworld, the desire for embeddedness is an impossible aspiration under modern conditions. Throughout the modern era it is however possible to observe the emergence of complex societal stabilization mechanisms, which serve as substitutes to traditional forms of embeddedness. The emergence of function specific cultures, in the form of, for example, legal, political and scientific cultures, establishing a ‘second nature’ in the Hegelian sense, is one example of this. Other examples are (neo-)corporatist institutions which fulfilled a central stabilising role in classical modernity and the kind of network based governance arrangements which fulfil a similar position in today’s radicalised modernity.
