Historians have often either ignored Anacharsis Cloots (1755–1794) or considered him deranged because he claimed to be the ‘orator of the human race’ and devised a ‘universal republic’ based on the ‘sovereignty of the human race’. This book is the first comprehensive study of the entire body of Cloots’s written works and political actions. By contextualizing them, the book non only rehabilitates Cloots as a political thinker worthy of consideration, but also argues that his political thought constitutes a specific branch of republicanism in the age of Atlantic revolutions: cosmopolitan republicanism. The introduction suggests how 18th-century French cosmopolitanism was a new philosophical tradition, but was composed of several themes, which the book then analyses in Cloots’s writings. The first chapter provides a brief overview of his life. The second chapter explains why he called himself orator and wrote pamphlets, and why contemporary readers should not discard this as non-philosophical. Having established Cloots’s writings as constituting a philosophical system, the following chapters explores it through the themes laid out in the introduction. First, the concept of reason and his understanding of science. Second, the paradigm of natural law and the role of nature in moral and political thought. Third, the conception of humanity and individuals in nature and society. Finally, republicanism and its principles. The last chapter summarizes the elements of Cloots’s cosmopolitan republicanism and opens a research programme to other political thinkers in the age of Atlantic revolutions for historians and political theorists.

La autoridad política no constituye si no un aspecto del control social y para comprender sus peculiaridades es preciso distinguirla de los demás aspectos de aquél. En control puede considerarse desde dos puntos de vista: primero desde la persona que lo ejerce y segunda, el de la persona sometida a el. Parece más conveniente adoptar el último de esos puntos de vista y estudiar los tipos de control segun el modo como afectan al sentido de la libertad de individuo. En contenido de esta obra es: 1. El control político 2. La función del gobierno 3. La estructura política 4. La naturaleza de la acción política 5. El problema político central 6. Gobierno y estratificación 7. El concepto de un Estado mundial

Seit 2012 gibt es in Deutschland eine neue Generation von selbstorganisiertem Geflüchtetenprotest mit einer zentralen Forderung: das Recht auf Arbeit und gewerkschaftliche Organisation. Die Interaktionen geflüchteter Aktivist*innen mit Gewerkschaften reichen dabei von Besetzungen der Gewerkschaftsräume bis hin zu gemeinsamen Demonstrationen. Ein erster Erfolg kam 2015 mit dem Recht auf Mitgliedschaft bei der Dienstleistungsgewerkschaft ver.di. Oskar Ilja Fischers ethnographische Untersuchung fragt nach den Interaktionsordnungen dieser Begegnungen von 2013 bis 2016, die von Verhandlungen der Repräsentation im deutschen Arbeits- und Migrationsregime gerahmt sind.

»Das Volk will den Sturz des Regimes!« Unvergessen bleibt der Ruf der Menschen in Ägypten nach Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung, der im Jahr 2011 durch die Straßen Kairos hallte. Auf theoretisch innovative und interdisziplinäre Weise kombiniert Imad Mustafa strukturelle, netzwerktheoretische, konstruktivistische und kommunikative Aspekte des Transitionsprozesses zur umfassenden Untersuchung der revolutionären Mobilisierung säkularer Netzwerke sowie der konfliktiven Auseinandersetzungen mit dem Regime und der Muslimbruderschaft. So zeigt er auf, dass Demokratisierung ein widersprüchlicher und schwieriger Prozess ist, an dessen Ende die Re-Autoritarisierung der Politik stehen kann.

In this lucid and theoretically sophisticated book, G. John Ikenberry focuses on the oil price shocks of 1973-74 and 1979, which placed extraordinary new burdens on governments worldwide and particularly on that of the United States. Reasons of State examines the response of the United States to these and other challenges and identifies both the capacities of the American state to deal with rapid international political and economic change and the limitations that constrain national policy.
