Comparisons in Global Security Politics
World Political Change
In this chapter, Mathias Albert and Thomas Müller explore how actors make sense of world political change. It under-stands change as a significant difference over time and emphasises the importance of narratives: It is through narratives that actors highlight differences between the past, present and future and imbue these differences with political significance. The chapter distinguishes three storytelling practices through which actors craft su…
Capitalising on virtue
This article explores the temporality and manipulability of status symbols. The competition over status has started to move past traditional markers such as economic wealth and military strength, and new status symbols have emerged that may become attainable even for states without such traditional forms of capital. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s work, we develop a discursive approach to status symbols that distinguishes three phases of their life …
Narratives, Knowledge Objects, and the Making of Great Power Competition
What makes great power relations more (or less) competitive? One key argument in International Relations (IR) is that interpretations matter and shape how competitive great power relations are. This article seeks to further develop this argument. Drawing on objectual IR and the sociology of expectations, it proposes a constructivist framework that unpacks two crucial, yet surprisingly little studied aspects of the making of great power competitio…
Satellites and the Changing Politics of Transparency in World Politics
This article explores the degree to which commercial satellite imagery has empowered non-state actors in the politics of transparency in world politics. This question has received renewed attention in the wake of the disclosure of China’s new missile silos in 2021 as well as Russia’s war against Ukraine since 2022. The article contributes to research on this question by teasing out the competition over authority undergirding the politics of trans…
Publics in Global Politics
In IR and beyond, there is considerable debate about the ways global governance, the transnationalisation of publics, and changes in communication technologies have affected the interplay between publics and global politics. This debate is characterised by disagreements about how to conceptualise publics in the global realm—and whether or not they exist in the first place. We seek to contribute to this debate by disentangling the various meanings…
Practices of comparison and the making of international orders
Self-Binding via Benchmarking
How do states use benchmarks to organise their collective action? Although states increasingly rely on benchmarks to steer their collective action towards futures they deem desirable, research in IR has not yet unpacked the ways in which benchmarks alleviate – but also sometimes worsen – collective action problems. I argue that benchmarking enables states to tackle three interrelated problems: the coordination problem by the setting of common goa…
Whose balance? A constructivist approach to balance of power politics
Realist and rationalist approaches to balance of power politics underplay the degree to which balances are socially constructed. We develop a constructivist approach that accounts for the elusive and contentious nature of the balances that states seek to balance. The approach foregrounds contests over balance interpretations between states that shape whose conceptions and assessments underpin the making and remaking of balances. We argue that shi…
Institutional Reforms and the Politics of Inequality Reproduction
This contribution to the special issue explores how institutional reforms are shaped by and feed back into the politics of inequality reproduction. IR has recently begun to more closely study how hierarchies intersect. This article uses the analytical concept of “interlinkages” to grasp how international organisations couple intra-organisational patterns of unequal representation to extra-organisational social hierarchies. It empirically investig…
Mito de Inkarri-Qollari (cuatro narraciones)
Las versiones del Mito de Inkarri que en esta oportunidad da a conocer Thomas Müller, se suman a otras dos que fueron recogidas, en la misma localidad, a fines de la década del 50 por Oscar Núñez del Prado y Efraín Morote Best. La localidad referida es la comunidad de Q'eros, que tiene fama de ser una de las más tradicionales que existen en el área andina y que ha atraído el interés de numerosos antropólogos entre los cuales nos contamos también …
The ‘Poitrot Report’, 1945
The aim of this paper is to shed light on the so-called ‘Poitrot Report’, submitted to the French Military Government in Baden-Baden, Germany, in December 1945 and published in a reduced German version in 1946. Its author was the French-Moroccan psychiatrist Robert Poitrot, who had been put in charge of the public mental asylums in Südwürttemberg after World War II. Poitrot took responsibility for restoring psychiatric care during the occupation,…
Le placement familial et les liens entre difficultés économiques et intégration sociale des malades mentaux dans la France du xixe siècle
Le comparatisme est une méthodologie bien établie dans l’histoire de langue allemande et dans les sciences connexes. Mais l’histoire de la médecine reste en retrait jusqu’ici. Cette contribution discutera d’un côté la mise en œuvre de la méthode comparative en histoire de la médecine et, d’un autre côté, dans le cadre d’une problématique d’histoire de la psychiatrie. Elle en explicitera les enjeux pour l’étude de l’assistance aux malades mentaux …
The variety of institutionalised inequalities
This article argues that the research on institutionalised inequalities pays too little attention to competing understandings of stratification and the variety of interlinkages between the patterns of stratification and the institutions of international society. Building on the English School and theories of stratification, it develops an analytical framework that conceptualises these ‘stratificatory interlinkages’ as a twofold decision: firstly …
Taming the Waterways
The arrival of Europeans in the New World effected the interaction of 2 temperate biogeographical eco-zones: the Palaearctic and Nearctic. Alfred Crosby has hypothesized that the success of the Europeans as imperialists was due, in part, to the ability of their introduced biota to bring about the collapse of the indigenous populations and local ecosystems, leading to the formation of Neo-European eco-spaces. Through a comparison of paleontologica…
Wettbewerb und Unionsverfassung
Thomas Müller geht eine der grundlegendsten europäischen Rechts- bzw. Verfassungsfragen an: Welche Rolle spielt der wirtschaftliche Wettbewerb im Unionsrecht? Diese Fragestellung ist angesichts der aktuellen sozialen und krisenpolitischen Herausforderungen in der Europäischen Union brisant. Auf Basis einer prinzipienorientierten Theorie und einer aktuellen Dogmatik der europäischen Wettbewerbsverfassung analysiert der Autor die EuGH-Rechtsprechun…
Global constitutionalism in historical perspective
This article raises the question of how the evolution of constitutional structures in international history can be conceptualized and narrated. This question is nurtured by the divergent historical accounts found in the literature on global constitutionalism and the historical-comparative literature on international societies. Although both literatures have so far largely ignored each other, they share a number of common conceptual problems and s…
A Generalized Manifold Topology for Branching Space-Times
The logical theory of branching space-times, which provides a relativistic framework for studying objective indeterminism, remains mostly disconnected from discussions of space-time theories in philosophy of physics. Earman has criticized the branching approach and suggested “pruning some branches from branching space-time.” This article identifies the different—order-theoretic versus topological—perspective of both discussions as a reason for ce…
The Role of the State in the Repression and Revival of Religiosity in Central Eastern Europe
The aim of this article is to present two different roles of the state affecting individuals' religiosity. First, we provide evidence for the effectiveness of socialist regimes in influencing citizens' opinions by comparing religious beliefs among several generations of Eastern Europeans. Second, the article explores whether the democratization process in Eastern Europe led to a revival of religiosity by applying two strands of reasoning from the…

Innere Armut
Die Kinderarmut in Deutschland nimmt zu. Neben der materiellen Not entsteht fast unbemerkt eine innere Notlage, die selbst Kinder und Jugendliche in materiellem Reichtum in Formen von Vernachlässigung, Verwahrlosung und Selbstüberlassung erleben können. Die innere Welt gerät aus den Fugen, wenn Mitgefühl und Zuwendung fehlen. Es kommt zu Überforderung, Orientierungslosigkeit und Haltlosigkeit. Thomas Müller zeigt die äußeren und inneren Zusammenh…
Erziehungswissenschaftliche Rezeptionsmuster neurowissenschaftlicher Forschung
In den Erziehungswissenschaften lässt sich seit einigen Jahren eine verstärkte Auseinandersetzung mit Forschungsergebnissen aus dem Bereich der Neurowissenschaften beobachten. Die Meinungen darüber, welchen Stellenwert neurowissen- schaftliche Befunde für pädagogische Theorie und Praxis haben, gehen weit auseinander. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt zunächst den epistemischen Kontext dieses interdisziplinären Transfers dar, um danach einen Überblic…
Treatment of Somatoform Disorders With St. Johnʼs Wort
OBJECTIVE: To investigate efficacy and safety of St. John's wort (SJW) LI 160 in somatoform disorders. METHODS: In a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, and double-blind parallel group study, 184 outpatients with somatization disorder (ICD-10 F45.0), undifferentiated somatoform disorder (F45.1), and somatoform autonomic dysfunction (F45.3), but not major depression, received either 300 mg of SJW extract LI 160 twice daily or matching pla…
On Psychotic Transference and Countertransference
Following a brief discussion of the primary types of psychotic transferences, viewed from a theoretical position combining ego psychology with an object relations approach, the author presents detailed clinical material illustrating these transferences. The analyst's countertransference in work with such patients is also discussed in depth, including its use as a unique window into the patient's inner world

La irrigación Pacchanta
Han pasado dos años desde la primera solicitud, dos años de permanentes visitas a oficinas, entregando memoriales, justificaciones del proyecto, etc. Estos dos años también han sido turbulentos en cuanto a la política nacional y la política agraria. Los últimos años del gobierno de F. Belaúnde Terry, incansable en dañar al campesinado peruano, y el cambio hacia la revaloración del campesinado, serrano sobre todo, con el gobierno de Alan García.

Zur Kulturgeschichte der Medien
Der Medienhistoriker, der sich bewußt ist, daß Historiographie die aktive Aneigung der Vergangenheit aus einer aktuellen Interessenlage bedeutet (vgl. Elsner / Müller / Spangenberg 1991), sucht nach den Kategorien, mit denen er Strukturwandel durch Medienevolution beschreiben soll. Wir wollen auf diese Frage anhand von drei Kategorien — Objektbereich, Beobachtungsperspektive und Beschreibungshorizont — eingehen. Der Objektbereich scheint auf den …
