 Ernst Troeltsch characterized the Social Teaching of the Christian Churches and Groups as his “favorite book.” Soon after the publication of the first volume of his Collected Works, he began to annotate his personal copy with corrections, additions, and entirely new passages. These extensive supplements, written with a second edition in mind, are now made accessible in a three-volume critical edition with incisive commentary.

 Some of the most radical criticism coming out of the West today is the result of an interested desire to conserve the subject of the West, or the West as Subject. The theory of pluralized ‘subject-effects’ gives an illusion of undermining subjective sovereignty while often providing a cover for this subject of knowledge. Although the history of Europe as Subject is narrativized by the law, political economy, and ideology of the West, this concealed Subject pretends it has ‘no geo-political determinations.’ The much publicized critique of the sovereign subject thus actually inaugurates a Subject. . . . This S/subject, curiously sewn together into a transparency by denega­ tions, belongs to the exploiters’ side of the international division of labor. It is impossible for contemporary French intellectuals to imagine the kind of Power and Desire that would inhabit the unnamed subject of the Other of Europe. It is not only that everything they read, critical or uncritical, is caught within the debate of the production of that Other, supporting or critiquing the constitution of the Subject as Europe. It is also that, in the constitution of that Other of Europe, great care was taken to obliterate the textual ingredients with which such a subject could cathect, could occupy (invest?) its itinerary not only by ideological and scientific production, but also by the institution of the law. ... In the face of the possibility that the intellectual is complicit in the persistent constitution of Other as the Self’s shadow, a possibility of political practice for the intel­ lectual would be to put the economic ‘under erasure,’ to see the economic factor as irreducible as it reinscribes the social text, even as it is erased, however imperfectly, when it claims to be the final determinant or the tran­ scendental signified. The clearest available example of such epistemic violence is the remotely orchestrated, far-flung, and heterogeneous project to constitute the colonial

 There can scarcely be a greater tribute to the vitality of the Fifth Republic's democracy than this monumental work. A searching analysis of how the will of the voters is translated into authoritative political decision making, this book not only uncovers political truths about contemporary France but also provides a model for the study of other popular forms of government. The authors set out to find an answer to the perplexing question of how representative government operates in France in the seemingly unstable context of multiparties. By interviewing voters as well as legislators in 1967 and in 1968 after the great upheaval, and by monitoring policies of the National Assembly from 1967 to 1973, the authors test relationships between public opinion and decision making. They are able to sort out the abiding political cues that orient the French voter, to establish the normal electoral processes, to gauge the nature of mass perceptions of the political options available to voters, and to interpret the strikes, riots, and demonstrations of 1968 as a channel of communication parallel to the electoral process itself. Lucid in style, methodologically sophisticated, and often comparative in approach, Political Representation in France is a seminal work for political scientists, sociologists, and historians.

 Das literarische Feld. Als theoretische Bilanz einer Anzahl empirischer Studien stellt dieser Text Grundlagen dar einer Methode zur Analyse kultureller Werke, im vorliegenden Fall besonders literarischer Werke. Das Vorgehen umfasst drei Momente : die Analyse der Position des kulturellen Produktionsfeldes im Macht-Feld (die hier zur Erhellung der ambivalenten Position der konservativen Intellektuellen fĂŒhrt : diese sind als - temporell - dominante, aber - symbolisch - dominierte innerhalb eines insgesamt dominierten Universums in einer prekaren Situation) ; die Analyse der Struktur und Funktionsweise des literarischen Feldes selbst ; schliessli-ch die Analyse der Laufbahnen der Schriftsteller innerhalb dieser RĂ€ume. Das literarische Feld, relativautonom, bleibt dennoch beherrscht von der Konkurrenz zwischen zwei unabhangigen, ja antagonistischen Hierarchisierungsprinzipien : einem internen, dem mit der Anerkennung durch die Schriftstellerkollegen verbundenen symbolischen Kapital, einem externen, dem durch mondĂ€nen Erfolg gewonnenen ökonomischen und politischen Kapital. Es ist der Ort unaufhörlicher KĂ€mpfe, und primĂ€r um die Voraussetzungen der Zugehörigkeit zum Kampf, d.h. der Grenzen des Feldes selbst. Gegen die neo-marxistische Sicht (Lukacs, Goldman), die den Raum der Werke in eine direkte Beziehung setzt zum sozialen Raum in seiner Gesamtheit, wie gegen die neohegelianische Sicht (Tynjanow, Foucault), die dem System der Werke völlige Autonomie konzediert und dessen Transformation im Zeitverlauf als Produkt seiner eigenen Logik denkt, wird hier die These vertreten, dass das Prinzip des Raums der Stellungnahmen, d.h. der Strategien mit dem Ziel der VerĂ€nderung oder des Erhalts des Feldes, in diesem als Feld von Positionen, Stellungen selbst liegt. Das Spiel selbst aber, der Wert der EinsĂ tze, folglich die KĂ mpfe um ihre Erringung, existieren und iiberdauern nur vermittels der Investition in das Spiel, seiner Besetzung, die das Spiel selbst unaufhörlich produziert und reproduziert. Um die literarischen Werke angemessen zu verstehen, muss also sowohl der Raum der (stilistischen, formalen usw.) Möglichkeiten, die jedem Schriftsteller zu einem bestimmten Moment in der Geschichte des Feldes vorgegeben sind, beriicksichtigt werden als auch die Dispositionen gegenĂŻ-ber diesen Möglichkeiten - Dispositionen, die sich seiner Stellung innerhalb des Feldes und der Laufbahn, die ihn dahin gebracht hat, verdanken. Soziale Herkunft wirkt sich nie unmittelbar und mechanisch aus : sie wird durch die gesamte Geschichte des Feldes vermittelt.

 The focus is on the misalignment between territory and the legal construct encasing the sovereign authority of the state over its territory—territoriality. The aim is to make visible that territory cannot be reduced to either national territory or state territory, and thereby to give the category territory a measure of conceptual autonomy from the nation-state. Beyond an intellectual project, this analysis seeks to enable a conceptual mobilizing of the category territory, here understood as a complex capability with embedded logics of power/empowerment and of claim making, some worthy and some more akin to power-grabs. Extracto La atenciĂłn se centra en el desfase entre el territorio y la construcciĂłn legal que encierra la autoridad territorial soberana del Estado, es decir, la territorialidad. La finalidad es hacer ver que el territorio no puede reducirse a un territorio nacional o territorio estatal, y de este modo otorgar a la categorĂ­a de territorio una medida de autonomĂ­a conceptual del estado-naciĂłn. MĂĄs allĂĄ de un proyecto intelectual, con este anĂĄlisis pretendemos facilitar una movilizaciĂłn prĂĄctica del territorio como una capacidad compleja con lĂłgicas de poder/empoderamiento y de reivindicaciĂłn, algunas valiosas y otras mĂĄs bien parecen tomas de poder. 摘芁 æœŹæ–‡èšç„Š "鱆期" ä»„ćŠ "ć°†ć›œćź¶äž»æƒćŒ…èŠ†ć…„éą†ćœŸäž­çš„æł•ćŸ‹ć»șæž„â€”â€”éą†ćœŸæ€§" äč‹é—Žçš„é”™èŻŻç»“ćˆ,æ—šćœšæ­éœČ "鱆期" 侍揯挖çșŠäžș "ć›œæ—çš„éą†ćœŸ" æˆ–æ˜Ż "ć›œćź¶çš„éą†ćœŸ",藉歀蔋äșˆ "鱆期" æ­€äž€èŒƒç•ŽćœšæŠ‚ćż”äžŠç‹Źç«‹äșŽć›œæ—ć›œćź¶äč‹ć€–çš„äž»äœ“æ€§ă€‚é™€äș†ćšäžș侀éĄčçŸ„èŻ†èźĄç”»,æ­€äž€ćˆ†æžæ›ŽćŻ»æ±‚ćœšæŠ‚ćż”äžŠè°ƒćŠšéą†ćœŸçš„èŒƒç•Ž,äșŠćŻç†è§Łäžșé“­ćˆ»ç€æƒćŠ›/蔋权䞎提ć‡șäž»ćŒ çš„é€»èŸ‘äč‹ć€æ‚èƒœćŠ›,ć…¶äž­æœ‰çš„ć…·æœ‰é€‚ćˆ‡æ€§ă€æœ‰çš„ćˆ™æ›Žèż‘äŒŒæƒćŠ›æ”«ć–ă€‚ RĂ©sumĂ© L'article porte sur un dĂ©calage entre le territoire et la notion juridique qui embrasse les droits souverains de l'État sur son territoire – Ă  savoir, la territorialitĂ©. On cherche Ă  montrer que le territoire ne peut ĂȘtre rĂ©duit ni Ă  la notion de territoire national, ni Ă  la notion de territoire d'État et, par la suite, Ă  rendre Ă  la catĂ©gorie de territoire un brin d'autonomie conceptuelle par rapport Ă  l'État-nation. Au-delĂ  d'ĂȘtre un projet intellectuel, cette analyse cherche Ă  permettre une mobilisation conceptuelle de la notion de territoire, entendue ici comme une compĂ©tence complexe dotĂ©e des logiques intĂ©grĂ©es de pouvoir/responsabilisation et de revendications, dont certaines sont valables et d'autres plutĂŽt des prises de pouvoir.

 Delegation und politischer Fetischismus. Die priesterliche Sicht des Politischen wie die Theodizee der Apparate werden geschĂŒtzt und perpetuiert durch das Vergessen und das Ignorieren der Delegierung, kraft deren die Gruppe sich erstellt, indem sie ihren WortfĂŒhrer aufstellt. Ermöglicht die Institution des WortfĂŒhrers, dem Stande der serielle n Existenz zu entrinnen und in den kollektiver Existenz einzugehen, so impliziert dies 'sprechen fĂŒr'doch auch 'sprechen anstelle von" ; wie auch der Orakeleffekt, kraft dessen der WortfĂŒhrer die Gruppe zum Sprechen bringt, in deren Namen er spricht, die AutoritĂ€t verleihen kann, vom Indikativ zum Imperativ ĂŒberzugehen. Mandanten und MandatstrĂ€ger stehen in einem VerhĂ€ltnis der strukturalen Homologie zueinander, worin die spezifischen Interessen der MandatstrĂ€ger (z.B. innerhalb des politischen Raums) mit denen der Mandanten (innerhalb des sozialen Raums) koinzidieren. Zu rechnen ist jedoch auch mit dem Gesetz der bĂŒrokratischen Apparate, demzufolge der Apparat jenem alles gibt, der nicht nur alles ihm schuldet und alles von ihm erwartet, sondern der auch gewillt ist, unter Preisgabe aller Freiheit ihm ailes zu geben.

 In this paper we explore the boundary between calculative and noncalculative action by arguing that these are separate but mutually constitutive. By using the notion of qualculation, a neologism coined by Cochoy, we redefine the notion of calculation to include judgment. We then argue that making qualculability is not trivial: that it takes effort to create calculation and judgment. But it also takes effort to consider nonqualculability. Two strategies for achieving nonqualculability are identified, those of rarefaction and proliferation. Rarefaction, illustrated by the cases of Quaker worship and selfless love or agapĂš, works by withdrawing all qualculative resources. Conversely, proliferation, illustrated by the attribution of cause and responsibility after railway accidents, and by a major television fund-raiser, the ‘TĂ©lĂ©thon’, works to impede calculation by an overload of qualculative resources.

 Massive post-war migrations have posed a fundamental challenge to the nation-states of North-Western Europe. Constructing an ideal-typical model of nation-state membership, this paper begins by specifying the multiply anomalous character of the membership status of immigrants. Next, it seeks to explain the striking and persisting difference in the citizenship status and chances of immigrants in France and Germany. While birth and residence in France automatically transform second-generation immigrants into citizens, birth and residence in Germany have no bearing on citizenship. Vis-à-vis immigrants, the French citizenry is defined expansively, as a territorial community, the German citizenry restrictively, as a community of descent. These diverging definitions of the citizenry embody and express distinctive understandings of nationhood, statecentred and assimilationist in France, ethnocultural and `differentialist' in Germany. Focusing on pivotal moments in the shaping and reshaping of citizenship law - the 1880s in France, the Wilhelmine era in Germany - this paper argues that the politics of citizenship vis-à-vis immigrants has been informed by distinctive national self-under-standings, deeply rooted in political and cultural geography and powerfully reinforced at particular historical conjunctures.

 La gouvernance fait aujourd'hui partie des références d'action de nos principaux responsables politiques. Cet ouvrage met en évidence dans l'histoire les enjeux et les significations différentes de la gouvernance en philosophie politique mais surtout en science économique et en management public. La diffusion internationale de l'idée de gouvernance montre les interdépendances qui s'accroissent entre les mondes de la réflexion scientifique et de l'action politique.

 Abstract: The state budget, a crucial part of the finance law, is often characterized by opacity and lack of readability, as it translates the general activity of the state in numbers. Despite efforts to simplify the reading of the finance law, it still faces difficulties, especially considering the specificity of the law and its commitment to the development of the finance law. Theoretical studies on the legibility of the finance law in Morocco are scarce and only partially address the subject. Strengthening the readability of the financial law can be an essential entry point for rationalizing the academic and political public debate on the subject. The difficulties of reading the finance law can be managed by identifying the main actors and technical complexities. This requires a comprehensive conceptualization that falls within the framework of rationalizing the public debate on finance laws. Addressing these issues requires reviewing the various difficulties associated with the subject in Morocco, answering key questions, and proposing possible alternatives.

 Possession, when its essential elements and conditions are met, is considered a legal means of acquiring real estate ownership in both Algerian law and Maliki jurisprudence. Both systems aim to promote social stability by protecting established legal positions and ensuring the proper functioning of key property transactions—transactions on which legal systems have relied to prove rights, particularly in the field of real estate ownership. This research seeks to examine possession as a mechanism for acquiring property ownership in both systems by studying its elements, conditions, and effects. It also highlights the similarities and differences between the two frameworks and explores the potential for incorporating Maliki jurisprudential reasoning to enrich the Algerian legislative framework in a manner that aligns with the specificities of its legal and social environment.
