Abstract:
Abstract In their Foreword, Hirschl and Shachar challenge the supposed contemporary decline of state sovereignty and describe the enduring and expansive spatial reach of state power to counter threats to sovereign territorial control. This Afterword looks into the normative foundations of this account and its consequences for public international law and for international courts, in particular. “Spatial statism” exposes, I argue, a disjunction between the concepts of state sovereignty and popular sovereignty—and thus disrupts the normative expectation that those subject to the law are also its authors. It is this expectation that international judicial review must seek to restore. The attempt to do so is burdened by analytical and practical difficulties. But the project, I argue, is essential. In confronting the new “spaces” of international entanglement, judges must redeem the idea that citizens might yet reclaim those entanglements as a “common world,” not just a space in which they are brought together, unfreely, under the mantle of state coordination and coercion.

Abstract:
Serious illness has typically been explored as emergent within the relatively linear unfolding of the steady march of time. Here, focusing on cancer and drawing on the accounts of patient/carer dyads, we propose a relational ontology of the affective and temporal entanglements of living-with disease. Emphasising the iterative intra-activity of vital matter and social meaning as they are repatterned across time, we examine the enfolding of various temporal, affective and normative dis/continuities that become particularly meaningful – or are made to matter – in the context of living/dying-with cancer. We focus on the social practices of ‘making memories’, ‘anticipating absence’ and ‘maintaining normal’ which reveal the entanglement of seemingly discrete categories such as self and other, here and gone, and past, present and future. Living-with cancer thus emerges as more than an illness/caring experience, but rather as instructive in contributing to a relational understanding of everyday life.

Abstract:
This article presents a critical assessment of the new wave of anthropological scholarship on bureaucracy and its relevance in India. Dealing primarily with everyday bureaucratic practices, and their entanglements with local hierarchies of power, status and wealth, such studies underline the contingent and contextual nature of the enterprise of ‘state-making’. Moreover, they direct our attention away from the normative, formal-institutional configurations of state power to the quotidian workings of the state through its materiality and discursive representations at multiple loci of state–citizen interface in post-colonial India that are invariably orchestrated bureaucratically. While bringing out the implications of this change in theoretical, methodological and substantive focus for our understandings of the interrelated ideas of state and citizenship, the article concludes by outlining a few possible trajectories for further scholarly engagement so far as studies of bureaucracy in India are concerned.

Abstract:
AbstractSo far, religious education has been dominated by the paradigm of plurality. This is relevant because it can capture the processes of pluralization of religion in late modernity. The focus of this article concerns aspects of difference and identity. However, this has also set a desideratum. The interaction with issues of inequality and injustice cannot be adequately addressed within this paradigm. However, a student-oriented religious education must consider these questions to the same extent. But this is at the center of the category of heterogeneity. The following considerations, against this background, seek to unfold the mode of thinking of enlightened heterogeneity. This places identity and equality issues in strict reciprocal interrelation and is at the same time so self-critical that it seeks to elucidate its own entanglements in hegemonic relationships of power in the normative definition of religious education.

Abstract:
This article uses “caste capitalism” as a framework for thinking through the entanglements of sexuality politics, caste, and capital in contemporary India. The author uses a queer hermeneutic of heritability and endogamy, drawing inspiration from Indian feminist, queer, anti-caste, and Marxist critiques, and from racial capitalism as theorized by Cedric Robinson. The author argues that caste capitalism, read through a queer hermeneutic, makes the historicity of caste rules clearer, showing how they are both enforced through violent social norms, and, at the same time, selectively or intermittently ignored, e.g., in spaces of non-normative sexuality and gender expression. The use of this hermeneutic emphasizes the normative functions of caste-based endogamy while undoing the idea of sexuality as a scientized aspect of the privatized and “private” self, which is understood here as an effect of conceiving the body as hived off from questions of land rights, economic autonomy, and historically contingent iterations of caste categories and relations. This use of caste capitalism contributes to countermanding Hindu nationalist deployments of homonationalist rhetoric that rely on the ahistoricity of caste as a central aspect of arguing for a timeless and territorially coherent religion and culture that must now be defended through violent and autocratic means.

Abstract:
This article investigates the ways in which state and non-state laws become intricately intertwined in practices of conflict resolution in rural Bangladesh. Instead of inhabiting separate legal universes, I show how state and non-state laws become entangled in what I call the logic of non-enforcement. People in rural Bangladesh frequently appeal to state courts—yet they frequently do so not in order to get binding and enforceable verdicts, but to alter the outcomes of a non-state justice institution like the shalish in their favour. This leads to unexpected patterns of political accountability: people expect local elected politicians to intervene in the state courts, stop pending cases and bring them back to community-based resolution in non-state fora. Elected politicians are thus held accountable according to their ability to prevent the enforcement of state laws. At the same time, state agencies frequently bring legal cases to trial in non-state courts. I conceptualise this blurring between state and non-state laws, its underlying social dynamics as well as its normative justifications as a distinct ‘logic of non-enforcement’. According to this logic, state courts decisively affect the outcomes of processes of conflict resolution in rural Bangladesh while state laws nonetheless are systematically not enforced.

Does the prima facie contradiction between the Declaration of Independence's description of the separate and unique “creation” of human beings and Darwin's evolutionary account indicate a broader contradiction between theories of human rights and Darwinian evolution? While similar troubling questions have been raised and answered in the affirmative since Darwin's time, this article renews, updates and significantly fortifies such answers with original arguments. If a “distilled” formulation of the Declaration's central claims, shorn of complicating entanglements with both theology and comprehensive philosophical doctrines, may still be in contradiction with Darwinian evolutionary theory, this should be cause for substantial concern on the part of all normative political theorists, from Straussians to Rawlsians. Despite the notable recent efforts of a few political theorists, evolutionary ethicists and sociobiologists to establish the compatibility of Darwinian evolutionary theory with moral norms such as the idea of natural or human rights, I argue that significant obstacles remain.

Abstract:
Drawing upon ethnographic research on community radio in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, this article argues that tracking production practices outside of the studio allows researchers to better capture radio’s entanglements with everyday urban life. This spatial reconsideration mirrors a conceptual move beyond community media labels and normative criteria, towards a privileging of context. To illustrate both points, the article centres around ‘animation,’ the practice of enlivening social situations. Animation is central to community radio in Abidjan, but ‘ animateurs’ also practise their trade in a multitude of venues and events around the city. Following animation’s movements between on- and off-air provides an understanding of how community radio is assembled as a porous ‘micro-public’, and insight into the particular kind of sociability that it produces. The article shows that while this sociability is tinged with the quest for status and social capital, it is mostly characterized by indeterminacy, and valued for the unforeseen encounters it can foster.

Abstract:
Abstract The article uses Israel’s volatile jurisdictional dynamics of the past two decades concerning access to religious community justice, as a telling case for examining the way legal pluralism is deployed along the public–private divide. The Israeli case exhibits a complex combination of an ostensibly liberal democratic regime, a commitment to a particularistic ethno-national political project, structural entanglements of state and religion against the backdrop of an unsettled constitutional order, and an historically diffuse mode of often-illiberal normative ordering within its diverse religious communities. All this provides a rich backdrop for various strategies by communal and institutional elites seeking to consolidate power, legitimacy, and authenticity in their often mutually-reliant jurisdictional projects. The article explores several salient episodes from Israel’s religious jurisdiction dynamics, focusing for purposes of analytical clarity on the case of Jewish orthodox legality. The analysis uncovers the main strategies stakeholders resort to, and shows how agency flows in different ways, with the choices of each player affecting the possibilities of the others. The institution at the arguable top of the system—the Supreme Court—is shown to be often devoid of effective means of elucidating, let along imposing, a coherent vision for a fragmented jurisdictional field. Conceptually, the judicial forum is revealed as the locus of an ongoing, uneasy engagement among normative imaginaries in a sometimes-competitive, sometimes-collaborative negotiation over coherence, tolerance, authority, and legitimacy.

Abstract:
Le travail propose d’analyser les rapports que l’Union européenne et l’Organisation maritime internationale entretiennent dans le cadre de la lutte contre la pollution atmosphérique. L’approche retenue vise à appréhender les contours de l’incidence de l’action de l’UE sur l’OMI. Très souvent cernée sous le prisme de la confrontation, la relation des deux organisations s’inscrit dans une dynamique de complémentarité. Dans ce sens, l’action de l’Union européenne vise essentiellement à contribuer efficacement à la stratégie de production normative de l’OMI. Les répercussions des initiatives de l’organisation régionale au niveau institutionnel mettent en lumière les limites de la stratégie de l’institution spécialisée des Nations Unies. L’amélioration du cadre juridique dédié à la pollution atmosphérique implique par conséquent une « refondation » tant structurelle que fonctionnelle afin de garantir une approche inclusive de production normative nécessaire à la bonne application des règles juridiques
This work aims to analyse the relationship between the European Union and the International Maritime Organization in the field of air pollution. The approach adopted is intended to be global in order to better understand the impact of the EU's action on the IMO. Although the relationship between the two organizations is often seen as one of confrontation, it is in fact one of complementarity. In this sense, the European Union's action aims above all to make an effective contribution to the IMO's standard-setting strategy. The repercussions of the regional organization's initiatives at institutional level highlight the limits of the United Nations specialised agency's strategy. Improving the legal framework for air pollution therefore requires a structural and functional overhaul. All of which would make it possible to guarantee an inclusive approach to standard-setting necessary for the proper application of legal rules

Abstract:
This chapter argues that indigenous and colonial ‘laws’ were made and adapted in and through entanglements of peoples and dynamic political-normative regimes or epistemic communities. These underlying complexities might be obscured in extant anglophone high-level treatises or colonial judicial decisions, let alone indigenous participation in introduced colonial forums, but remain important to appreciate. In approaching the multiple ‘legalities’ in play one needs to remain conscious of how pre-existing communities interacted dynamically with strangers from across the seas. In examining these points the chapter considers several broad, intermingling phenomena: firstly, key jurisdictional tensions (including those associated with notions of ‘protection’); secondly, the evolution of strategies for governing or administering territory; and, thirdly, the regulation of proprietary interests.

Abstract:
This chapter begins the transition from empirical to normative concerns, explaining and evaluating the diverse pattern of taxing and exempting churches and other religious institutions. Entanglement concerns help to explain this diversity. This chapter identifies which taxes carry the greatest (and least) threat of church-state entanglement. It also discusses why entanglement should be an important consideration when deciding to tax or exempt religious institutions. Either taxing or exempting churches and sectarian entities involves entanglement. Central to this discussion are such tax policy criteria as revenue, administrability, valuation concerns, taxpayer liquidity, public acceptability, and economic neutrality. The federal and state tax systems do a reasonable job of taxing churches where the possibilities for enforcement entanglement are least and of exempting churches where the prospects for enforcement-related entanglement are greatest. Our federal system of decentralized legislative decision-making works reasonably well to make the imperfect trade-offs inherent in taxing and exempting religious entities.

Abstract:
This book explores the legal and tax policy issues that arise when churches and other religious institutions are taxed or exempted. Churches and other religious institutions are treated diversely by the federal and state tax systems. Sectarian institutions pay more tax than many believe. In important respects, the states differ among themselves in their respective approaches to the taxation of sectarian entities. Either taxing or exempting churches and other sectarian entities entangles church and state. The taxes to which churches are more frequently subject—federal Social Security and Medicare taxes, sales taxes, real estate conveyance taxes—fall on the less entangling end of the spectrum. The taxes from which religious institutions are exempt—general income taxes, value-based property taxes, unemployment taxes—are typically taxes with the greatest potential for church-state enforcement entanglement. It is unpersuasive to reflexively denounce the tax exemption of religious actors and institutions as a subsidy. Tax exemption can implement the secular, nonsubsidizing goal of minimizing church-state enforcement entanglement and thus be regarded as part of a normative tax base. Taxing the church or exempting the church involves often difficult trade-offs among competing and legitimate values. On balance, our federal system of decentralized legislation makes these legal and tax policy trade-offs reasonably, though there is room for improvement in particular settings.

Abstract:
This chapter adopts a study-of-religion perspective in discussing key issues of the entanglement of religion and politics. The starting point is the modern Western idea of separation between religion and state, which provides the backdrop of the common view that religion and politics represent two distinct and disconnected spheres of social life. This normative understanding is in contradiction to empirical findings showing that politics and religion are in many ways interrelated. Relevant topics include the role of religion in legitimating and supporting the existing political order as well as opposing and devaluing it, the involvement of religious institutions in politics, the overlapping of religion and politics in the public sphere, possible conflicts between the power of the state and the power of religions, and the question of how religions are related to specific forms of government and to political ideologies is examined.

Abstract:
Since the beginnings of civilization, the religious has posed a central problem to the normative order of the political. The present volume illuminates this crucial relation in 21 chapters from different disciplinary perspectives including philosophy, theology, constitutional theory and law. Leading scholars are addressing conceptual questions as well as country-specific problems with regards to countries such as Croatia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, the US, Mexico, China, India, Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan. One of the central themes in this volume are the ways by which the secular state envisions its relation to the religious between distance and entanglement, cooperation, independence, and conflict.

Abstract:
This book reviews how news intersects with international politics and discusses the global power and reach of the U.S. news media, especially within the context of the post-9/11 era. It is based on years of interviews conducted between 2009 and 2017, in Kabul, Washington, and New York. The book draws together communications scholarship on hegemony and the U.S. news media’s relationship with American society and the government (i.e. indexing and cascading; agenda-building and agenda-setting; framing; and conflict reportage) along with how national bias and ethnocentrism are fixed phenomena in international news. Given the longevity of the U.S. presence in Afghanistan and the Afghan news media’s dramatic proliferation since 2001, Afghanistan provides a fascinating case study for the role of journalists in conflict and diplomacy. By identifying, framing, and relaying narratives that affect the normative environment, U.S. correspondents have played unofficial diplomatic and developmental roles. They have negotiated the meaning of war and peace. Indirectly and directly, they have supported Afghan journalists in their professional growth. As a result, these foreign correspondents have not been merely observers to a story; they have been participants in it. The stories they choose to tell, and how they tell them, can become dominant narratives in global politics, and have directly affected events inside Afghanistan. The U.S. journalists did not just provide the first draft of history on this enduring post-9/11 entanglement between the United States and Afghanistan—they actively shaped it.

This chapter explains Elias’s analysis of the inseparability of intra- and inter-societal relations. It highlights his position on the split within civilization – on the widespread belief that the standards of restraint that are widely observed within civilized societies have to be relaxed in struggles with external enemies. Elias nuanced the point by exploring the duality of nation-state normative codes, namely the co-existence of nationalist-Machiavellian standpoints and the conviction that universal and egalitarian principles should be upheld in intra- as well as inter-societal relations. The duality gave rise to the peculiar entanglements of civilized peoples. The chapter builds on Elias’s argument by showing how those themes influenced doctrines of imperialism and conceptions of a civilized international society.

Abstract:
Abstract Empire has traditionally been a blind spot in International Relations (IR)’s substantive and theoretical coverage, but this is no longer the case. Historical IR has been at the forefront of a ‘re-turn’ to empire in the discipline, thickening our understanding of the imperial contexts that shape the systemic, intellectual, and normative structure of contemporary world politics. This chapter surveys the contributions of this literature before offering some reflections on work yet to be done. Recent work on empire and IR has demonstrated how global modernity, and by extension the modern international system, was built on the connections that empire forged. But an overemphasis on what empire is, what it does to the world, and how it should be distinguished from other polities, obscures the global entanglements that constituted imperial power. The chapter turns attention to more relational conceptions of empire, in particular those that illuminate the patterns of resistance that empire fostered.

Abstract:
This chapter looks at the effect of territorial fragmentation, starting from the level of the local economy. Subsequently, it traces its repercussions to international politics, which led to the formation of a new international image of East Central Europe as inherently fragmented and particularistic. The chapter assumes a multi-dimensional approach to the creation of new borders between Silesia and Estonia through military developments, through bilateral, multi-lateral, or international dynamics, and puts a strong focus on local agency, e.g. in the case of merchants, who were among the most important agents to mitigate the impact of borders and re-establish severed networks. Moreover, the chapter explores how the proliferation of borders and scepticism concerning territorial size shaped a highly normative and pessimistic international discourse about the survivability of the new ‘small states’, which many regarded to be merely provisional states sooner or later to be reintegrated into recovering Germany and Russia

Abstract:
Abstract Conservatives in the 1790s responded with disgust to the egalitarian pressures democracy placed on the hierarchies of the existing social and political order. Disgust, like contempt, plays an important role in securing and maintaining status and class distinctions. But where contempt remains removed and detached, even coolly indifferent, disgust mingles with threat and surprise and cannot tolerate or remain in the proximity of its object. Focusing on the writings of the radical social conservative William Cobbett, this essay demonstrates how his frequent association of democracy with disgust vividly illuminates the egalitarian challenge democracy posed to defenders of the inherited order during this period of revolutionary transition. Cobbett’s rhetoric recalls the radicalism of democracy’s basic claims. In contrast to normative arguments against disgust in contemporary democratic theory, the historical entanglement of democracy and disgust suggests the relationship might be constitutive and irresolvable.

Abstract:
The chapter presents the history of one patriotic and Catholic hymn, “God Save Poland” (1816), to take a long historical view and gesture toward the real power of imagined musical solidarity. The hymn was ubiquitous in Poland in the 1980s and exemplifies the saturation of symbols at the heart of Solidarity’s nationalist enterprise, even showing this nationalism to be driven by song. A performance history of the song reveals its constant position as both a hymn of Polish Catholicism and a galvanizing refrain at the secularized scenes of popular uprisings. At times the song has challenged Catholicism as normative for Polish identity, at times confirmed it. Collective song’s communicative power is also articulated in Krzysztof Meyer’s Polish Symphony (1982). The symphony, like other art music examples across Musical Solidarities, suggests that, despite their abnegation of political entanglement, composers, too, joined in the core musical strategies of the opposition.
