  abstract  = {The aim of this paper is to illuminate the interdependent relation and connectivity between state and regime known as the state-regime-nexus. 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.},

  abstract  = {Is there a Decline of Democracy? Democracy measurement provides the basis for answering this question. However, there are different measurement tools based on different meanings of democracy that have been shown to vary in their concept validity. Therefore, it is relevant to examine whether the results of the different measurement tools converge or diverge with respect to a potential decline of democracy. Smolka (2021) finds a decline of democracy for new and old EU states based on standardized data from the Democracy Barometer. A re-analysis using the original data of the Democracy Barometer and the Democracy Matrix can hardly replicate these results. A comparison of further measurements shows that the instruments diverge rather than converge. I therefore conclude with some thoughts on overcoming the selection problem that arises in light of these contrasts.},

  abstract  = {The notions self-organisation and self-regulation are at least implicitly loaded with a positive democratic connotation. The main corresponding debates on social movements, governance and civil society mostly refer to the Global North with a well-functioning state and democratic political systems. One consequence is that the less democratic and less liberal hidden side of self-organisation, seen by some critics, does not gain much attention. After a short discussion of the main theoretical approaches, the paper presents a selection of self-organised groups depicting their different values, norms, and structural features. These examples reach from democratic groups marked by solidarity to racist violent groups that are a threat to differently minded people. The analysis of these examples leads to a set of criteria for the comparative analysis of the internal structure of self-organised groups including potential membership, in- and outward orientation, underlying basic principles of social order and types of trust with related types of decision-making. These basic elements help to understand the constitution and functioning of self-organisation, which are open to a wide range of value orientation.},

  abstract  = {The Vacaciones en Paz programme (VeP) started in 1979 shortly after Morocco illegally occupied Western Sahara, which since 1975 has been a disputed territory pending a referendum for self-determination. The programme consists of Sahrawi children being hosted during summer by Spanish families who try to raise awareness for the Sahrawi cause and temporarily alleviate the children's living conditions. Meanwhile, approximately 170,000 Sahrawi refugees live in camps near Tindouf (Algeria) heavily dependent on humanitarian aid for their survival. This study aimed to determine the impact of the VeP programme on the promotion of children's rights based on the perspective of Sahrawi children. Research has shown that it serves as a temporary platform to implement some of those rights. This qualitative study is based on a literature review of the principles of the VeP programme, alongside a thematic analysis of the field data provided by Sahrawi children and teenagers. Analysis of the VeP programme demonstrated that the Convention of the Rights of the Child is not mentioned in its discourse. Notwithstanding, the results indicate an impact on the promotion of Sahrawi children's rights. On this basis, it is recommended to implement a children's rights-based discourse within the principles of the VeP programme, since the theoretical knowledge of their rights may be a key factor for strategic empowerment of Sahrawi children and teenagers in their representation of the Sahrawi cause.},

  abstract  = {Die Corona-Krise stellt eine der gr{\"o}ßten Herausforderungen in der Geschichte der EU dar. Aufgrund der geringen Kompetenzen der EU im Gesundheitsbereich liegt die Pandemiebek{\"a}mpfung fast ausschließlich in den H{\"a}nden der Mitgliedstaaten. Diese reagierten jedoch zun{\"a}chst mit „nationalen Reflexen" und unsolidarischem Verhalten. Erst nach {\"U}berwindung des ersten Schocks im Fr{\"u}hjahr 2020 konnte die EU sichtbarer bei der Krisenbew{\"a}ltigung werden. Den H{\"o}hepunkt stellte die Einigung auf das historische 750 Mrd. EUR schwere Corona-Hilfspaket „Next Generation EU" (NGEU) dar, welches mit einer gemeinsamen Schuldenaufnahme einen Pr{\"a}zedenzfall geschaffen hat. Diese Arbeit untersucht, wie die EU auf die Pandemie reagiert hat und ob diese Reaktion zu ihrer St{\"a}rkung f{\"u}hren kann. Sie soll einen Beitrag zum besseren Verst{\"a}ndnis der Geschehnisse in der EU zwischen Januar 2020 und Mai 2021 leisten. Hierf{\"u}r werden zun{\"a}chst die Kompetenzen der EU im Gesundheitsbereich und beim Katastrophenschutz sowie deren Nutzung in der Pandemie aufgezeigt. Hauptteil der Arbeit ist die Untersuchung von Entstehung und Inhalt des NGEU-Hilfspaktes. Hier zeigt sich, dass die EU - mit Hilfe des deutsch-franz{\"o}sischen Motors - zur Solidarit{\"a}t zur{\"u}ckgefunden hat. Die Schwerpunktsetzung von NGEU verdeutlicht, dass neben dem Wiederaufbau auch die aktuellen Kernthemen der EU - Digitalisierung und Klimaschutz - einen zentralen Stellenwert einnehmen. Damit kann NGEU zur wesentlichen St{\"a}rkung der EU beitragen. Eine St{\"a}rkung ist ebenfalls im Gesundheitsbereich festzustellen, wo erste Schritte zu einer Gesundheitsunion vollzogen wurden.},
