Abstract This Afterword does not seek to contest Ran Hirschl and Ayelet Shachar’s account of spatial statism. It rather argues that although public power remains in many ways untouched by the ever-changing world states are embedded in, counternarratives can also be identified. Looking toward urban spaces as well as the regulation of data and online spaces, I illustrate that a complementary story of state power can also be told. The challenge is to make sense of the fact that state power is both changing and not changing at the same time.

As the Church is moving towards its 21st century of existence, it is confronted by challenges it has never known before. This changing world demands self-reflection within the Church. It has to consider its place, identity and function, thereby giving rise to the exploration of its mission. In this article, the ecclesiology of Karl Barth is explored. By considering Barth�s understanding of the Church�s relationship with different parties such as God, other religions, those outside the Christian faith, the State and its own inner dynamics, the Church will be reminded of its missionary function in the world.

We develop an algebraic modal logic that combines epistemic and dynamic modalities with a view to modelling information acquisition (learning) by automated agents in a changing world. Unlike most treatments of dynamic epistemic logic, we have transitions that ``change the state'' of the underlying system and not just the state of knowledge of the agents. The key novel feature that emerges is the need to have a way of ``inverting transitions'' and distinguishing between transitions that ``really happen'' and transitions that are possible.Our approach is algebraic, rather than being based on a Kripke-style semantics. The semantics are given in terms of quantales. We introduce a class of quantales with the appropriate inverse operations and use it to model toy robot-navigation problems, which illustrate how an agent learns information by taking actions. We discuss how a sound and complete logic of the algebra may be obtained from the positive fragment of PDL with converse.

According to the Federal State Educational Standard 3++, the state has defined the main goal of education, including higher education. This goal is to identify and comprehensively develop each student, to achieve high personal and meta-subject results. This standard requires teachers to develop key competencies in students that provide them with elasticity and tolerance in relation to a rapidly changing world. The learning process is faced with a number of conditions and tasks that determine the didactic principles. The university teacher, at the same time, becomes the organizer of the educational process, an assistant and adviser to the students.

To stem its diminishing dominance in the international political and economic system, the us must re-establish its leadership in international human rights. A starting point in that journey will be to streamline the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices published annually by the State Department. This article presents several avenues for such improvement, but posits that lasting improvement will come only if the us abandons the national arrogance of exceptionalism that, even in the age of Obama, still drives its human rights policy.
