1 Hauke Brunkhorst Solidarity in the World Society. Democracy under Pressure of Global Capitalism, Global Power and Global Religion I From the time of the democratic revolutions of the 18 th Century we can observe an impressive process of social and institutional learning, which has regularly led to the inclusion of formerly excluded voices, persons, groups, classes, sexes, races, countries, regions etc. In the words of Rawls: The same equality of the Declaration of Independence which Lincoln invoked to condemn slavery can be invoked to condemn the inequality and oppression of women. 1 The experience of a successful learning process of social inclusion can be, and has been, extended to incorporate former silenced voices of Western societies as well as the oppressed voices of non-western cultures. Despite this, however, the reality of Western democracies often looks different. The story of impressive normative learning is not the whole story. If we tell the whole story then we have to accept that in many cases (and, in some perspectives, in all cases) the expansion of social inclusion was acquired at the price of new exclusion, or of new forms of latent or manifest oppression. The history of Western civilization and Western democracy is not only a Rawlsian success story of expansion through the inclusion of the other. It is at the same time a Foucaultian or Anghien story of expansion through imperialism, a story from the heart of darkness. 2 Since the first European division of the world in the Treaty of Tordesillas 1494 between Spain and Portugal imperialism vanished and reappeared in constantly changing fashion, and with constantly 1 John Rawls, Political Liberalism, (New York: Columbia 1993), XXIX. 2 Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness, Norton Critical Edition, New York
2 changing covers and labels some of which in fact were even anti-imperialist. 3 Even the present state of inclusion of the other within an emerging cosmopolitan civil society sometimes appears to be nothing else than the expression of a highly exclusive class consciousness of frequent travelers. 4 But the reproduction of social structures of class rule and relations of domination, exclusion and silencing does not change the normative facticity (Joerges) ( Faktizität des Normativen in difference to Jellineks Normativität des Faktischen that resides in the fact that all modern democratic constitutions since the 18 th Century are reliant on the universal legal principles of the inclusion of all human beings and the exclusion of inequality (Stichweh). 5 The normative meaning of these two principles becomes manifest when communicative power appears as the (albeit deeply ambivalent) power of revenge (that is: rächende Gewalt, to use the words of Habermas).

World Congress Int. Inst. Sociology, Stockholm Yet as true as it is, in many other cases one must be very careful with criticism of cosmopolitanism. Hegel once wrote that the hatred of law is the shibboleth whereby fanatism, imbecility and hypocritical good intentions manifestly reveals themselves. (Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Philosophy of Right, Cambridge: Univ. Press 1991, Ö 258, fn) This is even more, true of the hatred of the idea of cosmopolitan law (from which Hegel himself was not completely free). In the 20 th Century it was this hatred related closely to the dasastrous ideologies of fascism and other totalitarian (e. g. Stalinist) movements. It was the rootless cosmopolitan Jew who heated the killing fantasies of all right wing nationalists. Anti-Semitic criticism of cosmopolitanism, at least until the end of the Second World War, had a strong backing in nearly all kinds of conservative and neoconservative thinking (Fine, Cosmopolitanism, 21). 5 Thomas H.

3 If there is anything specifically characteristic of the Western legal tradition (Berman), it is this dialectical dual structure of law, which is on the one hand a medium of repression and stabilization of expectations: the immunity system of society (Luhmann), yet which on the other hand is an instrument able to change the world, and to begin with the establishment of the civitas dei on earth (Berman). Or, expressed in more secular terms: Law is a medium of emancipation, which is why Kant and Hegel even identified law with egalitarian freedom, or defined law as the existence of freedom (Dasein der Freiheit). 8 The Declaration of Independence is a medium of emancipation which declares that all men are created equal, and (against the King of Great Britain) it claims open access for all emigrants, yet at the same time the Declaration is a document of bloody oppression that legalizes the genocide of the aboriginal population of America not only the British King but also his supposed allies, the merciless Indian Savages, are declared to be public enemies of civilized nations, or illegal fighters. What is now so specifically characteristic of Western constitutional law is the fact that the deep tensions, and even the contradictions, between these two faces of repression and emancipation (Habermas speaks here of a Janus-face) have been reconciled by legal institutions which have learned to coordinate conflicting powers, and to make use of the always risky and fragile productivity of the antinomy. 9 Harold Berman speaks in this regard of a dialectical reconciliation of opposites, 10 but we could also add that it is a dialectical (and procedural) reconciliation of lasting opposites, of lasting conflicts, differences and contradictions. 11 The very point here is that the Western legal tradition emerged from the 8 Kant, Metaphysik der Sitten, Rechtslehre 345, 434, 464; Hegel, Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts Ö 4, Werke 7, Frankfurt: Suhrkamp 1970, 46; Hegel, Philosophie des Rechts (lecture-course 1819/ 20, Frankfurt: Suhrkamp 1983, 52; dem folgend: Karl Marx, Verhandlungen des 6.

One can discribe this with Chantal Mouffe also as transformation from antagonism to 3
4 terror and fanaticism of the Revolution. But the constitutional regimes which were the final outcome of all great and successful European Revolutions established legal conditions for a (much less violent) struggle for equal rights within the right. The constitutional spirit of the revolutions of the 18 th Century became objective for the first time within the borders of the modern nation state. This state always had many faces. These include the Arendtian face of violence, the Habermasian face of administrative power, the Foucauldian face of surveillance and punishment, the faces of imperialism, colonialism, war on terror and so on. However, the nation state, once it became democratic, possessed, not only the administrative power of oppression and control, but at the same time the administrative power to exclude inequality with respect to individual rights, political participation and equal access to social welfare and opportunities. 12 Only the modern nation state possessed, not only the normative idea, but also the administrative power to achieve that. From the very beginning this was the hard core of the utopia of the Enlightenment. Up to the present all advances in the reluctant inclusion of the other, and so also all advances of cosmopolitanism, are, to a greater or lesser degree, advances that have been accomplished by the modern nation state. National constitutional regimes have solved the three basic conflicts of the modern capitalist and functionally differentiated society. Stated in very rough historical terms, which leave a number of empirical questions open, we can say that the formation and the democratic development of the nation state has provided a series of solutions that are constitutive of modern societies. First, the nation state has solved the (motivational) crises of religious civil war, or the Protestant Revolutions of the 16 th and 17 th centuries. After all it has achieved this through the agonism if one keeps in mind (against Mouffe) the constitutive role of constitutional law in this transformational process. 12 Thomas H. Marshall, Citizenship and Social Class, 33ff. 4
5 constitutional reconciliation of lasting conflicts between religious, agnostic and anti-religious belief systems. 13 This was very schematically the result of a two-step-development, accomplished in a manner that was both functionally and normatively universal. That is to say, on one hand, that the functional effect of the formation of a territorial system of states consisted in the transformation of the uncontrolled atomic explosion of religious freedom into a controlled chain reaction that kept the productive forces of religious fundamentalism alive and its destructive forces (to some degree) under control. 14 This was initially the repressive effect of the confessionalization of the territorial state. 15 Furthermore, on the other hand, during the long and reluctant process of democratization of the nation state, repressive confessionalization was replaced by emancipatory legislation which, ultimately led to the implementation both of the equal freedom of religion and the equal freedom from religious and other belief systems. 16 Second, the emerging nation state also has solved the (legitimisation and) constitutional crisis of the public sphere, of public law and public power, which marked the old European Ancien Regime and culminated in the constitutional revolutions of the 18 th and 19 th Centuries. Constitutions have transformed antagonistic class struggles into agonistic political struggles between political parties, unions and entrepreneurs, civic associations etc. 17 Bloody constitutional revolutions became in the (more successful) process(es) of (Western) history 13 This was the very achievement and the specific advance of the Western legal tradition since the 11th and 12th Century Papal Revolution: Harold J.

6 permanent and legal revolutions. 18 Once again, the effect of this was twofold. It led, on one hand, to a functional transformation of the destructive and oppressive potential of a highly specialized politics of accumulation of power for powers sake into a (more or less) controlled explosion of all the productive forces of public and administrative power. 19 This, in turn, was accompanied by democratic emancipatory legislation, which finally brought about the implementation of the freedom of public power together with the freedom from public power. Third, moreover, the nation state has even solved the social class conflicts (social revolutions 20 ) of the 19 th und 20 th Centuries. It accomplished this through the emergence of a regulatory social welfare state, which transformed the elitist bourgeois parliamentarism of the 19 th Century into egalitarian mass-democracy. The social class struggle was institutionalized, 21 and the violent social revolution became a legally organized educational revolution. 22 In this respect, it was the great functional advance of social democracy that it kept most of the productive, and (to some degree) got rid of the destructive, forces of the exploding free markets of money, real estate and labour. 23 It achieved this by overcoming the fundamentalist bourgeois dualism of private and public law. 24 In the first decades of social welfare regimes, this was more or less an achievement of administrative law and bureaucratic 18 Justus Fröbel, quoted from: Habermas, Ist der Herzschlag der Revolution zum Stillstand gekommen?, in: Die Ideen von 1789, Frankfurt In this respect three very different approaches, the one historical, the other power-theoretical the third from systems theory comply: Alf Lüdtke, Genesis und Durchssetzung des modernen Staates, in : Archiv für Sozialgeschichte, 20, 1980, ; Foucault, àberwachen und Strafen; Luhmann, Verfassung als evolutionáre Errungenschaft. 20 Usually the narrative of the social revolutions is told as a gradual transformation of the nation state (Marshall, Citizenship and Social Class; Talcott Parsons, The System of Modern Societies, Englewood Cliffs: Prentice Hall 1972). This seems evident when we look at the Western nation states, but if we take also the former communist East and the then so called third World into account, then the story can also be told as part of the global legal revolution and the great wars of the 20 th Century (see below). 21 Dietrich Hoss, Der institutionalisierte Klassenkampf, Frankfurt: EVA Parsons, System of Modern Societies. 23 Karl Polanyi, The Great Transformation, Frankfurt: Suhrkamp Hans Kelsen, Das Problem der Souveránitát und die Theorie des Vâlkerrechts 1920, zit. n. d.

7 rule in a regime of low-intensity democracy. 25 Further, in this respect, the ongoing democratic Rights Revolution, 26 which was directed against low-intensity democracy, finally led to the implementation of the freedom of markets together with the freedom from markets. This transformed the system of individual rights which was based on the freedom of property into a comprehensive system of welfare and anti-discrimination norms. 27 Despite this, however, the impressive normative and functional advances of the Western democratic nation state were obtained at the price of its original cosmopolitan claims. It is here where the wide spread and sustainable criticism of the New Left, deconstruction, poststructuralism, postcolonialism, postmarxism, Arendtians, left Luhmanians etc. comes in. II The modern nation state up to 1945 was the state of the regional societies of Europe, America and Japan, and the rest of the world was either under their imperial control or kept outside. Until the mid of the 20 th century, the exclusion of inequality meant internal equity for the citizens of the state, and external inequality for those who did not belong to the regional system of states. There was not even a serious or legal demand for a global exclusion of inequality. When Kant proposed the cosmopolitan condition of linking nations together on the grounds that in modern times a violation of rights in one part of the world is felt everywhere, his notion of (political) world (in difference to globe) was more or less reduced to Europe and the European system of states. When Hegel wrote of the infinite importance that a human being counts as such because he is a human being, not because he is a Jew, 25 On low intense democracy: Susan Marks, The Riddle of all Constitutions, Oxford: Oxford Univ.

8 Catholic, Protestant, German, Italian, etc. 28 Hegel at the same time and already with the same words reduces the legal meaning of human rights to male citizens, biblical religions and European nations. He further explicitly limits human rights to national civic law (of the bürgerliche Gesellschaft and its lex mercatoria) that looses its validity when it comes to the essential concerns of the executive administration of the state (der Staat) and its particular relations of power (besondere Gewaltverhältnisse, justizfreie Hoheitsakte). Therefore Hegel condemns any cosmopolitanism that opposes the concrete Sittlichkeit of the state. Some decades later, when one of the gentle civilizers of nations (Koskenniemi) Johann Caspar Bluntschli declared the implementation of a humane world order (menschliche Weltordnung) to be the main end of international law, he never saw any contradiction between this noble aim and his (and his colleagues) identification of the modern state with a male dominated civilization: Der Staat ist der Mann, and he also saw no contradiction to his latently racist thesis that all law is Aryan. The liberal cosmopolitanism of the men of 1873 who founded in the same year the Institut de droit international and invented a cosmopolitan international law, was completely Eurocentric, relying on the basic distinction between (Christian) civilized nations and barbarian people, the rough states of the 19 th and early 20 th Century. 29 The generous tolerance of the men of 1873 was from the very beginning paternalistic and repressive. Hence, it is no surprise that the liberal cosmopolitan humanists who wanted to found a humane world order became in no time apologists of Imperialism 30, who defended King Leopold s private measure state (Fraenkels Maßnahmestaat) in the heart of darkness by drawing a strict legal distinction between club-members on the one side, outlaws (Bluntschli) on the other. Following this line of argumentation article 35 of the Berlin Conference on the future of Africas ( ) offers jurisdiction for us civilized nations of 28 Hegel, Philosophy of Right, Ö Nathaniel Bermann, Bosnien, Spanien und das Vâlkerrecht - Zwischen Allianz und Lokalisierung, in: Brunkhorst, Hg., Einmischung erwünscht?

9 Europa, authority for them in the heart of darkness. 31 Guantãmano has a long Western prehistory. However, during the time from 1945 to the present day, classical imperialism (not a more and more de-territorialized and flexible kind of hegemony 32 ) vanished, Euro-centrism was completely decentred, state sovereignty was legally equalized, and the state went global. In conjunction with the globalization of the modern constitutional nation state, therefore, all functional subsystems, which from the 16th century until 1945 were bound to state power and to the international order of the regional societies of Europe, America and Japan, became global systems. The last square meter of the globe became state-territory (at least legally 33 ), and even the moon became an object of international treaties between states. 34 The rational and secular regional culture, which originally was the specific occidental rationality (Weber) of Europe and North America, became a rational and secular culture of the world, and it constitutes the basic orientations of all main actors of the global society: that is, of states, organizations and human individuals. 35 The consequence of this, which has not yet been sufficiently understood, is that now Western rationalism, functional differentiation, legal formalism and moral universalism are no longer something specific Western, and Eurocentrism has been completely decentred. 36 For the good and for the bad, everybody, every single human being today has to conduct his or her life under the more or less brutal conditions of the highly selective social systems of markets and schools; everybody is 31 Koskenniemi, Gentle Civilizer, The best point of a poor book: Hardt and Negri on Empire.

10 subjected to and socialized by the disciplinary machinery of kindergarten, traffic rules, jails, hospitals, military barracks, and other total institutions (Ervin Gofmann); and everybody (if he or she wants it or not) is shaped by the individualism and rationality of a single global culture which includes Rortys human rights culture as well as a culture of individualized suicide bombing. At the end of the 20 th Century human rights violations, social exclusion of global and local regions and tremendous inequalities, hegemony and imperialism (that still divide the North West from the rest of the world) did not disappear. But now (and this is a major difference between the beginning of the 20 th Century and the beginning of the 21st Century) these matters are perceived as our own problems, and they are perceived, not only politically and economically, but also from the point of view of universal equal rights, as a problem that concerns every citizen of the world. Before the middle of the 20 th Century these rights never existed as a global system of positive legal norms. We now have serious and legally binding claims for a global exclusion of inequality. We ought perhaps to describe this development, and at the same time re-describe the history of the 20 th Century the age of extremes (Hobsbawn) as the result of a great and successful legal revolution, which began at the end of the First World War with the American intervention in the war (and not to forget the tragic Russian Revolution) in President Wilson forced the Western allies to claim revolutionary war objectives, and from this moment on the war (and later the Second World War, again as a result of American intervention) was 36 Brunkhorst, Solidarity.

11 fought, not only for self-preservation and national interest, but also for global democracy and global legal peace: To make the world safe for democracy (Wilson). The legal revolution ended in 1945 with the constitution of the United Nations in San Francisco. A new system of basic human rights norms, coupled with a completely new system of inter-, trans- and supranational institutions and organisations, was created during the short period from 1941 to This system in fact included international welfarism, which was invented before the great triumph of national welfare states. 38 The development of international law has changed deeply since the founding of the United Nations. It has witnessed a turn from a law of coexistence of states to a law of cooperation, 39 the founding of the European Union, the Human Rights Treaties from the 1960s, the Vienna convention on the law of the Treaties, and the emergence of international ius cogens, etc. The old rule of equal sovereignty of states became the sovereign equality under international law (Art. 2 par. 1 UN); individual human beings became subject to International Law; democracy became an emerging right or a legal principle that can also be made valid against sovereign states; the right to have rights, whose absence Arendt lamented in the 1940s, is now a legal norm that binds the international community. 40 All these legal rules are of course broken again and again. However, this is not a specific feature of international law: it happens with national law as well. What is new today is that international and cosmopolitan equal rights have become binding legal norms, and they can thus be taken seriously. There is no longer any space for any actions outside the law or outside the legal system. 41 In consequence, if there once was any difference in principle between national and international law, there is 38 Lutz Leisering, Gibt es einen Weltwohlfahrtsstaat? in: Matthias Albert/ Rudolf Stichweh, Hg., Weltstaat und Weltstaatlichkeit, Wiesbaden: VS 2007, JÜrgen Bast, Das Demokratiedefizit fragmentierter Internationalisierung, in: Brunkhorst, Ed.: Demokratie in der Weltgesellschaft, Soziale Welt Sonderheft 2008 (forthcoming). 40 For a more comprehensive overview: Brunkhorst, Die Globale Rechtsrevolution.

12 no longer any such difference. This is in fact what Hans Kelsen, Alfred Verdross and other cosmopolitan international lawyers had already claimed during the First World War. III Nonetheless, the international (and national) legal and revolutionary progress is as deeply ambivalent and fragile as all other things in a highly accelerated and complex modern society. 42 There exist now, on the one hand, the basic legal principles of the global inclusion of the other and the global exclusion of inequality. Yet on the other hand there exist global functional systems, global actors and global spheres of value, which emerge with great rapidity, and which tear themselves off from the constitutional bonds of the nation state. This is a double-edged process that has caused a new dialectic of Enlightenment. The most dramatic effect of this process of the formation of the global society is the decline of the ability of the nation state to exclude inequalities effectively even within the highly privileged OECD-world. This has three very significant consequences. These consequences are observable, first of all, in the economic system. In this respect, we can observe the complete transformation of the state-embedded markets of regional late capitalism into the market-embedded states of global Turbo-capitalism. 43 The negative effect of economic globalization on our rights is that the freedom of markets explodes globally, and again at the cost of the freedom from the negative externalities of disembedded markets, and it 42 Hartmut Rosa, The universal underneath the multiple: Social acceleration as the key to understanding modernity, in: Sårgio Costa/ J.

But what then came was not socialism but global disembedded capitalism which seems to be as far from state embedded capitalism of the old days as from socialism. 12
13 is combined with heavy, sometimes war-like competition, in particular about the oil and energy resources of the earth: There will be Blood. 44 Surprisingly enough, in questions regarding the religious sphere of values we can make a similar observation and identify similar consequences. Global society makes the proposition that is true for the capitalist economy equally true for the autonomous development of the religious sphere of values. In consequence, second, we are now confronted with the transformation of the state-embedded religions of Western regional society into the religionembedded states of the global society. 45 Since the 1970s, religious communities have crossed borders and have been able to escape from state control. Again the negative effect of this on our rights is that the freedom of religions explodes whereas the freedom from religion comes under pressure. At the same time the fragmented legal and administrational means of states, inter-, trans- and supranational organizations seems not to be sufficient to get the unleashed destructive potential of religious fundamentalism under control: There will be Blood. Last but not least the (internally fragmented) executive branches of the state have decoupled themselves from the state-based separation, coordination and unification of powers under the democratic rule of law, and they too have gone global. 46 The more they are decoupled from 44 One-sided but in this point striking the neo-pashukanian analysis of international law by China Mieville, Between Equal Rights: A Marxist Theory Of International Law, London: Haymarket Brunkhorst, Democratic Solidarity under Pressure of Global Forces: Religion, Capitalism and Public Power, in: distinktion.

14 national control and judicial review, the more they are coordinated and associated on regional and global levels, where they constitute a group of loosely connected transnational executive bodies. Post-national ( good or bad ) governance without (democratic) government is performed at one and the same time through a partly formal and egalitarian rule of law, through an elitist rule through law, and through an informal bypassing of (constitutional) law and democratic public by means of a new regime of soft-law legislation. This law has as yet no normatively binding force. Empirically, however, it has a strong binding effect. 47 It therefore resembles the old Roman senatus consultum, which had no legally binding force, but every official was well advised to follow it. 48 As a result of this, the new globalized executive power seems to be undergoing the same transformation as markets and religious belief systems, and it is thus transformed, third, from state-embedded power to powerembedded states. This leads to a new privileging of the globally more flexible second branch of power vis-à-vis the first and third one, which jeopardizes the achievements of the modern constitutional state. 49 The effect of this is an accelerating process of a global original accumulation of power beyond national and representative government. The three great transformations of the world society have turned the democratically elected and legally organized political power within the nation state into the power of a transnational politico-economic-professional ruling class including high ranked TV- and BILD-/ SUN- /etc-journalists and media stars who function as a system of bypasses, which are implemented to remove the core of political decision-making from any spontaneous formation of communicative power through an untamed and anarchic public sphere. It seems now as if (in a new transformation of the public sphere) the Habermasian and Petersian filters, supposed to 47 Bernstorf, Procedures of Decision-Making, 22; Mâllers, Transnationale Behârdenkooperation. 48 Uwe Wesel, Geschichte des Rechts, MÜnchen: Beck 1997, S Wolf, Neue Staatsráson. 14
15 transform public opinion into political decision making, 50 are working the other way round, and are closing the doors on public opinion. White-Paper-Democracy is the outcome of this. 51 The new transnational ruling class hardly relies on egalitarian will-formation anymore. This class is (not so unlike the national bourgeoisie of the 19 th Century) highly heterogeneous and characterized by multiple conflicts of interest. Yet it has a certain number of common class interests: for instance, it seeks to increase its room for maneuver by withdrawing from itself democratic control, and, as a comfortable side-effect of this, it aims to preserve and increase its enormously enlarged, individual and collective opportunities for private profit generation. 52 This is the new cosmopolitism of the few. Instead of global democratic government we now are approaching some kind of directorial global bonapartist governance: that is, soft bonapartist governance for us of the North West, and hard bonapartist governance for them of the South East, the failed and outlaw states and regions of the globe 53 : There will be Blood. The deep division of the contemporary world into two classes of people that is, into people with good passports and people with bad passports is mirrored by the constitutional structure of the world society. Today there already exist a certain kind of global constitutionalism, which is one of the lasting results of the revolutionary change that began in the 1940 s. However, the existing global constitution(s) is (are) far removed from being democratic. 54 All post-national constitutional regimes are characterized by a disproportion 50 Bernhard Peters, èffentlichkeit, Frankfturt: Suhrkamp European Commission, White Paper Klaus Dieter Wolf, Die neue Staatsráson Zwischenstaatliche Kooperation als Demokratieproblem der Weltgesellschaft, Baden-Baden: Nomos Anghie, Imperialism, Sovereignty and the Making of International Law. 54 For the thesis that the UN-Charter is the one and only constitution of the global legal and political order, see: Bardo Fassbender, The United Nations Charter as Constitution of the International Community, in: Columbia Journal of Transnational Law 1998, Different approaches in: Arnim von Bogdandy, Europáisches Verfassungsrecht, Berlin, 2003; Matthias Albert/ Rudolf Stichweh, Weltstaat und Weltstaatlichkeit, Wiesbaden: VS 2007; Arnim v Bogdandy, Constitutionalism in International Law, in: Harvard International Law Journal, 47, 1/ 2006, ; Brunkhorst, Globalising Democracy Without a State: Weak Public, Strong Public, Global Constitutionalism, in: Millenium: Journal of International Studies Vol. 31, No. 3, 2002, ; Brunkhorst, 15
16 between legal declarations of egalitarian rights and democracy and its legal implementation by the international constitutional law of check and balances. 55 Hence, the legal revolution of the 20 th Century was successful, but it was unfinished. The one or many global constitutions are in bad shape, and they are based on a constitutional compromise (Franz Neumann) that mirrors the hegemonic power structure and the new relations of domination in the world society. As Inger-Johanne Sand has recently described this situation: The treaties and the law-making are increasingly comprehensive, and the courts and disputesettlement bodies are increasingly judicially organized and operatively effective. They are however still different than the similar forms of nation-state organized institutions in a number of ways. The treaties and the law-making is comprehensive, but fragmented and asymmetrical. Each treaty dealing with one set of problems or purposes without the abilities of seeing the different types of problems in relation to each other. The organizations are not democratic in relation to citizens. They are generally based on states as members and many of them are dominated by internal secretariats and experts. They are set up as top-down tools for dealing with separate issues and areas of problems. They are dominated by different elites. 56 Scientific and technical expertise have again become an ideology, 57 and they obscure the social fact that most regulatory decisions involve normative assumptions and trigger redistributive outcomes that cannot be reduced to seemingly objective scientific inquiries; each time someone wins and someone looses. 58 Because of this, what seems to be necessary and out of reach in the present situation of (pessimistically speaking) post-, or (optimistically speaking) pre-democratic global constitutionalism is a Kantian Reform nach Prinzipien, 59 or a radical reformism (Habermas), as well as a new democratic experimentalism (Dewey/ Demokratie in der globalen Rechtsgenossenschaft, in: Zeitschrift für Soziologie. Sonderheft Weltgesellschaft 2005, ; For the thesis of constitutional pluralism see: Gunther Teubner, Globale Zivilverfassungen, in: ZaâRV Bd. 63, Nr. 1/ 2003, For the original version of this thesis: Brunkhorst, Globalising Democracy Without a State; Brunkhorst, Demokratie in der globalen Rechtsgenossenschaft. 56 Inger-Johanne Sand, A Sociological Critique of the possibilities of applying Legitimacy in Global and International Law, paper presented at Onati-School for Socilogy of Law, Onati (Spain) Marcuse, On Science and Phenomenology, in: Boston Studies in Philosophy of Science Vol. 2, New York 1965, ; Habermas, Technik und Wissenschaft als Ideologie, Frankfurt: Suhrkamp Bernstorf, Procedures of Decision-Making, Claudia Langer, Reform nach Prinzipien, Stuttgart

Bobby Jones therapy
The Mets' Steve Trachsel, an eight-year veteran, was sent
to Triple-A in May with a 1-6 record and 8.24 ERA in eight starts. Since his
recall in June, he's gone 9-7 with a 3.59 ERA in 19 starts.

Hell's last cold snap
It's been more than seven years since Atlanta's Greg Maddux
walked in a run. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last time Maddux
did it was in the seventh inning on May 15, 1993. He walked Darren Daulton,
who'd homered earlier in the game. At the time, Aaron Sele, Manny Ramirez, Raul
Mondesi, Ryan Klesko, Javy Lopez, Jason Bere and Bob Hamelin had yet to make
their major league debuts, and Mike Piazza had been a major league regular for
all of six weeks. Since then, Maddux has faced 106 hitters with the bases loaded
and hasn't walked any of them.
