How is access to asylum and other forms of extraterritorial protection regulated in the European Union? Is the EU acquis in these areas in conformity with international law? Which tools does international law offer to solve collisions between both? And, finally, is law capable of bridging the foundational oppositions embedded in migration and asylum issues? This work combines the potential of legal formalism with an analytical framework drawing on political theory. It analyses the argumentative strategies used by international lawyers, and developed them further, exploiting the interpretative methodology of international law as well as elaborate discrimination arguments. The author concludes that deflecting protection seekers by means of visa requirements may constitute a violation of the European Convention of Human Rights, and that the prescriptions of international law oblige Member States to apply the Dublin Convention and the Spanish Protocol in a manner emptying it of its main control functions. The author also shows that burden-sharing remains the pivotal element in the normative dynamics behind the EU acquis, and explains why the European Court of Human Rights must be regarded as the only transnational forum for the legitimate negotiation of asylum in Europe.

Dieser Text legt Pierre Bourdieus Theorie der sozialen Praxis erstmals als eigenwertige Theorie der modernen Gesellschaft aus. Neben einer Analyse ihrer theoretischen Problembezüge und begrifflichen Konzeption wird die Theorie sozialer Felder differenzierungstheoretisch gelesen und im Hinblick auf ihre Deutungspotenziale systematisiert. Um die Eigenständigkeit von Bourdieus Beitrag herauszuarbeiten, wird die vom Feld der Macht ausgehende Untersuchung der unterschiedlichen sozialen Felder (Kultur, Recht, Politik, Massenmedien, Ökonomie) in einem differenzierungstheoretischen Diskurs kontextiert. »Diese Studie gehört in ihrer klug kontextualisierenden Darstellung der tragenden Konzepte der bourdieuschen Soziologie mit zum besten, was der in diesem ›Segment‹ mittlerweile fast schon übersättigte Markt zu bieten hat.« Stephan Egger, Soziologische Revue, 33 (2010) Besprochen in: Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft, 10.06.2009 Forschungsjournal NSB, 22/3 (2009), Albrecht Lüter Sociologica Internationalis, 47/1 (2009), Thomas Schwinn

Das Buch behandelt den Aufstieg des Hauses Habsburgs unter Maximilian I. zu einer der führenden europäischen Herrscherdynastien erstmals aus der Perspektive seiner engsten Berater und Diplomaten. Es analysiert den Einfluss der Gesandten auf die europäische Mächtepolitik, widmet sich aber auch deren Karrierewegen und kulturellen Vermittlertätigkeiten. Nach einem allgemeinen Überblick über die diplomatischen Beziehungen Maximilians I. liegt der Schwerpunkt der Arbeit auf den Verhandlungen mit dem König von Frankreich, dem Papst, der Republik Venedig und den Königen von Ungarn und Polen. Im Unterschied zu älteren Untersuchungen werden dabei auch die Argumentationsstrategien und Ziele der Verhandlungspartner miteinbezogen, um so den diplomatischen Entscheidungsfindungsprozess aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven zu beleuchten. Dabei wird deutlich, wie stark die Renaissance-Diplomatie als vermeintliche Wiege der modernen Diplomatie noch von den personellen Interessen und Handlungsspielräumen der führenden Akteure geprägt war. Ausgehend von der Frage nach den Rahmenbedingungen der zwischenhöfischen Kommunikation um 1500 bietet die Arbeit zugleich einen quellennahen Überblick über die diplomatischen Austauschprozesse jener Zeit.

The monograph on István Széchenyi presents the Slovenian territory with a story about an extremely important Hungarian politician, economist, and national awakener. As in other nations, it was also in Hungary that the long nineteenth century brought to the fore prominent individuals who contributed towards the development of modern national consciousness. Although the Slovenes are probably more familiar with the name of the Hungarian politician Lajos Kossuth, István Széchenyi figured as an equally prominent driver of Hungarian national development. Just how significant his influence was on Hungarian history was demonstrated by none other than Kossuth, his political opponent, who described him as the “Greatest Hungarian”. The volume at hand was compiled by four historians, three Slovenian and one Hungarian. Its central part comprises chapters on Széchenyi’s life, political career, and economic activities, whereas the introductory chapter on the Széchenyi noble family and its estates in the Slovenian territory and the last chapter on relations between the Hungarians and Emperor Franz Joseph embed the monograph within a broader time-span, thus enabling a better understanding of István Széchenyi’s endeavours and his lasting impact on Hungarian history. Monografija v slovenski prostor prinaša zgodbo o izjemno pomembnem madžarskem politiku, gospodarstveniku in narodnem buditelju. Podobno kot pri drugih narodih je dolgo 19. stoletje tudi pri Madžarih na dan naplavilo pomembne posameznike, ki so pripomogli k razvoju moderne nacionalne zavesti. Medtem ko je verjetno med Slovenci bolj poznano ime madžarskega politika Lajosa Kossutha, je bil prav tako pomembna gonilna sila madžarskega nacionalnega razvoja prav István Széchenyi. Kako pomemben je bil njegov vpliv na madžarsko zgodovino dokazujejo prav besede Kossutha, ki je svojega političnega nasprotnika Széchenyija opisal kot »največjega Madžara«. Pri pričujoči monografiji so sodelovali štirje zgodovinarji, trije slovenski in eden madžarski. Osrednji del knjige tvorita poglavji o Széchenyijevi življenjski poti, politični karieri in gospodarskemu delovanju. Tako uvodno poglavje o plemiški rodbini Széchenyi in njihovih posestih na Slovenskem, kot tudi zadnje poglavje o odnosu med Madžari in cesarjem Francem Jožefom pa monografijo postavljata v daljši časovni lok ter tako omogočata boljše razumevanje delovanja in daljnosežnega vpliva Istvána Széchenyija na madžarsko zgodovino.

From its beginnings, the theory of evolution has unsettled fundamental anthropological assumptions about the place of human beings in nature. The integration of human origins into natural history by Darwinism was countered by the philosophical anthropologies of the 20th century. Their attempts were to hold on even more resolutely to the special status of humans as beings 'open towards the world'. Today, evolutionary and philosophical anthropology have moved closer together via the paradigm of embodiment. Building on embodied cognitive science, this volume aims to establish how far the human mind and human cultural cognition can be attributed to the structures of human existence, structures which have emerged in the course of evolution and have in turn been affected by culture. The traditional dualism of nature and culture is transformed into an explanation of an evolutionary process in which body and mind are understood to be intertwined and mutually constitutive.
