Hegemonies of Legitimation
The legitimacy of the European Union is a much studied and highly contested subject. Unlike other works, this book does not engage in another review of the shifts of public opinion and perception regarding the EU. Instead, it offers a different and innovative perspective by focusing on constructions of legitimacy in the European Commission. Starting from the premise that legitimacy is discursively constructed, the book engages in a fine-grained analysis of legitimacy discourses in the European Commission since the early 1970s. Embedded in a poststructuralist theoretical framework, Hegemonies of Legitimation also sheds light on the conditions that made radical shifts of legitimacy discourses possible, and illustrates how these discursive shifts paved the way for different types of legitimation policies. As such, the book maps and reconstructs the historically variable discursive landscape of competing articulations of what legitimacy signifies in the case of the EC/EU, and provides us with a detailed picture of the history of the Commission's struggle for legitimacy.
The Politics of Military Force
The Politics of Military Force examines the dynamics of discursive change that made participation in military operations possible against the background of German antimilitarist culture. Once considered a strict taboo, so-called out-of-area operations have now become widely considered by German policymakers to be without alternative.

Drawing on Essex School discourse theory, the book develo...
Politische Narrative
Eine Hinwendung zur Erzählung ist in der politischen Öffentlichkeit und der sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschungspraxis zu beobachten. Die zentrale Bedeutung von Narrativen in der Sinnvermittlung menschlicher Kommunikation wird kaum noch bestritten. Ungeklärt ist jedoch, welche Implikationen und forschungspraktischen Konsequenzen sich daraus für die Politikwissenschaft ergeben. Die Autoren schlagen unterschiedliche Wege vor, Narrative zu konzeptualisieren und in der politischen Praxis aufzuspüren. Politische Narrative finden sich nicht nur in der Literatur oder in Bildern, sondern auch in vielfältigen Legitimierungsstrategien und Herrschaftstechniken politischer Akteure. Ziel ist es, ein Bewusstsein für den Modus des Erzählens im politischen Alltag zu entwickeln und politische Narrative als Schlüsselkategorie für die Politikwissenschaft zu entdecken.
