Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden verschiedene Fragen diskutiert, die sich im Zusammenhang mit der Herabsetzung des Wahlalters für die Nationalratswahlen auf 16 Jahre ergeben. Insbesondere wird auf mögliche Inkonsistenzen infolge höherer Altersgrenzen in anderen Bundesgesetzen, die ebenfalls auf eine entsprechende Reife von Jugendlichen abstellen, eingegangen. So stellt sich etwa die Frage, ob Personen, die noch nicht voll geschäftsfähig sind, schon die geistige Reife haben, um auf Bundesebene zu wählen. 相似文献
Dieser Artikel beschreibt das wohl weitreichendste, gleichwohl aber von der Öffentlichkeit weitgehend unbemerkte Reformwerk der vergangenen Legislaturperiode. Die Haushaltsrechtsreform des Bundes wird in diesem Text nicht aus juristischer Perspektive kommentiert. Vielmehr versucht der Autor, einen allgemein verständlichen Überblick über das facettenreiche und sehr umfängliche Reformwerk zu geben, das in seinen Details noch immer im Entstehen begriffen ist. Die Grundthese des Autors lautet, dass diese Reform in ihren absehbaren Auswirkungen weit über das Haushaltsrecht selbst hinaus wirkt und zu wesentlichen Veränderungen in der gesamten Bundesverwaltung und in wichtigen anderen Politikbereichen führen könnte. Der Kern der Reform ist gleichsam die Etablierung eines permanent weiter wirkenden Reformmotors, dessen Herz die Wirkungsorientierung darstellt. 相似文献
In this article we map out the development of German political theory since 1945 and locate it within the international context. For this purpose we track concepts which were central in shaping the scholarly controversies within the field. We distinguish between organizational concepts (democracy, state, power, system, institution), normative ideas (justice, common welfare, recognition) and new themes (gender, discourse, globalization). The resulting picture of the development of political theory replaces the common idea of three phases with a decisive break at the beginning of the 1980s. 相似文献
Recent institutionalist scholarship has theorized the liberalization or “disorganization” of capitalism as the result of shifts in economic actors' “logic of action” towards opportunism. Little attention has been given to the reverse possibility that shifts in economic actors' “logic of action” away from opportunism might contribute to “embedding” or “organizing” capitalism. This paper builds on recent scholarship to theorize this scenario and then demonstrate its empirical validity with an historical institutionalist study of the emergence of such a “non‐liberal” institution in Switzerland in 1961. The theoretical framework links three “logics of action” – opportunism, enlightened self‐interest and strong solidarity – to Höpner's typology of capitalist institutions – organized, coordinated, and liberal. It theorizes the interactions between these logics and the social mechanism – goal signaling – that can explain a shift from one logic of action to another, potentially leading to change from one type of institution to another. 相似文献
This paper examines the conditions of early feminism in Germany, the differing attitudes and strategies adopted by early feminists, characterizations of the movement in historical accounts and the relationship of contemporary feminism in Germany to its earlier manifestation. The conclusion reached is that our feminist heritage is a hidden and complex one and can only be understood fully if the ‘underside’ is examined ‘from below’. 相似文献
