To conceptualize the reciprocal institutional relation between state and regime and to deepen the understanding of the state-regime-nexus, I focus on law and legal order as one mutual linkage between state and regime in both democratic and autocratic regimes. To do so, this conceptual paper addresses two points that are part of the same topic: the relation between state, regime and law and different variants of legal order in democratic and autocratic regimes. This creates a theoretical basis to gain more conceptual and analytical clarity in the complex realm of the state-regime-nexus.}, language = {en} } @article{DanielLauthRothfuss2023, author = {Daniel, Antje and Lauth, Hans-Joachim and Rothfuß, Eberhard}, title = {Local Self-Governance and Weak Statehood: A Convincing Liaison?}, series = {Politics and Governance}, volume = {11}, journal = {Politics and Governance}, number = {2}, issn = {2183-2463}, doi = {10.17645/pag.v11i2.7166}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-321149}, pages = {272-279}, year = {2023}, abstract = {This thematic issue addresses the relationship between local self-governance and the state. Self-governance is understood as the rules that emerge in the local social and spatial context. Local self-governance of individual local groups, actors, communities, and their social and institutional arrangements are considered. From this situated collective entanglement, the interactions and relations with state authorities are analysed in the various contributions embedded in local contexts of different world regions and based on empirical social science research containing mostly interdisciplinary approaches. The nine case studies of this thematic issue reflect a variety of statehoods (weak to restrained), divers "intentionalities" of local self-governance (emancipatory and democratic, socio-economically, and socio-culturally oriented, security-driven or ecological), and their state-locality entanglements range between four forms of relationships: mutually supportive, conflictual, ambivalent, and avoiding.}, language = {en} }
