Abstract
Current Rese arch Findings and Controversial Discussions from all areas and sub-areas of Political Science: Politische Vierteljahresschrift (PVS) has been published since 1960 by the executive and advisory board of the German Association for Political Science (DVPW). The journal provides space for recent research findings from all sub-areas of political science. It therefore contains papers on political theory and the history of ideas; on comparative governance and politics; the domains of policy analysis, international relations and foreign policy; on political sociology; and papers in the areas of empirical social research and methodology. The PVS contains four categories of articles : The critical papers form the core category of the journal. In this section, are published theory-based and methodically reflected articles from all sub-areas of political science. Within the forum section, contemporary scientific controversies are debated. The commentaries contain scientifically well-grounded statements with reference to current issues of political developments or to the field of political science. The review essays provide a broad overview of the international state of the art of political science, as well as current developments and relevant published literature regarding a particular research-field. The PVS-Literatur publishes reviews of single publications from all sub-fields of the discipline of political sciences, as well as accumulative reviews presenting more than one new publication within an area of political sciences. Every paper published in the PVS (within the categories critical papers and forum) is run through a double-blind expertise process prior to publication. Generally, two external referees examine the anonymous manuscripts. The referee reports are also made anonymous before being handed back to the authors. Additionally, the authors can be provided with references from the editorial board. The editors rely on the collaboration of the colleagues in the scientific discipline as their referees and reviewers. Anyone interested in being a referee or reviewer is welcomed to complete and submit the PVS-reviewer-form or referee-form to the editor. Next to your name and address please indicate your field of investigative interest as well. This information will be added to the editorial database. Website: www.pvs.nomos.de

Partizipationspraktiken auf, wobei Isin auch über den islamischen Kontext hinaus den Begriff der Staatsbürgerschaft in den Mittelpunkt stellt
Partha Chatterjees Beitrag markiert demgegenüber den Höhepunkt des Bandes, da er konzentriert die zentrale Frage der comparative political theory angeht, die er folgendermaßen formuliert: „[H] ow has normative political theory as practised in the West managed to fortify itself against the turmoil of the real world of politics and assert the continued validity of its norms as pronounced at its moment of creation?“ (71f) Seine These ist, dass sich diese Art von politischem Denken nur im Rahmen eines Normalisierungsdiskurses herausbilden konnte, in dem alle Abweichungen vom europäischen Standard zugleich zur Aufhebung normativer Prinzipien führten, was die hintergründige Logik der scheinbaren Paradoxie autonomer Kolonisierer und heteronomer Kolonisierter begründet
Demgegenüber – und diese Überlegung schafft auch für das Projekt der postcolonial studies breite Angriffsflächen – muss Chatterjee zufolge jedoch auch deutlich gemacht werden, dass die europäischen politischen Institutionen und normativen Prinzipien keineswegs in einem endogenen Prozess entstanden sind, sondern vielmehr aus dem Aufeinandertreffen von Europa und seinen Kolonien resultieren: Die East India Company ist in diesem Gegennarrativ die erfolgreiche Vorläuferin von Kapitalgesellschaften, und die Idee universaler Bürgerrechte verdankt sich erst der haitianischen Revolution
Summary
Partizipationspraktiken auf, wobei Isin auch über den islamischen Kontext hinaus den Begriff der Staatsbürgerschaft in den Mittelpunkt stellt. Mit Michael Freeden und Andrew Vincent haben sich nun auch zwei Urgesteine der britischen Politischen Theorie des Themenfelds der comparative political theory (CPT) angenommen.
