Globalization has typically been regarded as challenging representative democracy at the state level. This chapter outlines four of these challenges—that of democratic externalities, of transnational global processes and supranational organizations, of cosmopolitan norms, and of effective and justified representation at the global level. It then explores three solutions that have been put forward to meet them: scaling up to a supra-national regional or even a global democracy for certain issues; creating a trans-national network of democratic bodies that address different issues and functions; or having inter-national associations of representative states under the equal control of their elected representatives. Whilst the first and second solutions are shown to create problems of both representation surpluses and deficits—some groups get over-represented and other groups under-represented, it is argued that the third solution can avoid both these difficulties and that it addresses the challenges more directly.

The present paper aims to trace the recent tendencies, in France, around the concept of "actifs immatériels", including both intangible assets and intellectual capital. In its first part we develop semantic and contextual specificities which might explain the late engagement on such topics by French scholars. The second part is about observed trends and initiatives, some in which the authors were involved. The section has two parts, one on academic and institutional initiatives and the other on corporations and individuals who have entered the field, especially after 2006. The third part comes to critical perspectives on intangibles, leading to a discussion where the broad concept of actifs immatériels provides a framework for understanding economics not only on the company level, but also on the state level. The resulting "dialectic immaterialism" thus provides a relevant rereading of new capitalism.

AN EXPOSITION ON THE HISTORICAL AND THEORETICAL UNDERSTANDING OF GOVERNMENT AND SCHOLARS ON THE COLLECTION OF ZAKAT BY A STATE

Zakat is the obligation of almsgiving within Islam. It is the third pillar of Islam and is a requirement for all believers. This exposition concerns the collection of zakat by a state and the administrative and jurisprudential challenges faced by the state. History has shown that the collection of zakat used to be done at the state level since the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him), until the downfall of the Islamic rule through colonization during the 18th and 19th centuries. As a result of the colonization of Muslim lands, there has been a discontinuity in the collection of zakat by those states for centuries. However, this exposition has identified that some of the Muslim countries have begun to institutionalize the collection of zakat by choosing to implement the compulsory zakat collection system. This is a system where the government is responsible for the assessment, collection and distribution of zakat. Some examples of countries already operating this system are Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Yemen. State controlled zakat collection is argued to be the most effective way of collecting zakat as an additional source of revenue. However, this system is not without challenges that inhibit the size of zakat revenue to be realized. This exposition has identified these challenges as administrative and jurisprudential. A number of publicists have written several books and articles on the collection of zakat by a state. However none of them have considered the fact that this system faces challenges when it comes to the collection of zakat. The exposition, therefore, has attempted to add to the existing literature by identifying what these administrative and jurisprudential challenges are that affect the collection of zakat by a state.

Constitutionality of the peoples is one of the most frequent terms used in the post - Dayton era of B&H state functioning. The specificity of the existence of constituent binds to B&H and its complex constitutional organization, because the comparative law knows no such terminology. In the political sphere it was first mentioned in the process of dissolution of Yugoslavia, and in the constitutional order of B&H enters through the Constitution of the FB&H, and Constitution of B&H. Following the adoption of the Constitution set the important question of the importance of constituent peoples in terms of whether it is a collective right to a certain cooperation or equal to the concept of sovereignty, and that it applies only to representation in state government at the state level and throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is driven by the various discussions which are usually given to political connotations. The best answer to such questions is given by the Constitutional Court through the third partial Decision on Constituent Peoples, through which prism we look the meaning of the constituent peoples in B&H.

Martin Schulz

Significance This is the third defeat at the state level since former European Parliament President Martin Schulz became party leader at the beginning of the year, raising questions about his ability to mobilise voters in the general election on September 24. Impacts A flare-up of the migrant crisis could bring the issue to the fore again and increase support for the AfD. In the absence of such a crisis, infighting and a lack of viable proposals on issues other than immigration is likely to limit its appeal. Both Merkel and Schulz would seek to strengthen the French-German axis in EU politics.

The third chapter discusses the Paris Commune and the way it prompts us to think about politics beyond a horizon that often assumes to be immutable representative democracy and the principle of private property. It analyzes the Declarations by members of the Commune that claimed the need to “universalize politics and property” via the new institutions of the Universal Republic. In the Commune, the rupture in the state machinery came about not with the seizure of power but through new political institutions that reclaimed other traditions of politics, channeling them into a new trajectory of modernity. The Communards were changing their present order by recombining alternative temporalities and traditions of modernity. Far from being a legal-political model to be realized, the Commune was a political practice that sought to define a new institutional fabric and a new subjectivity. This chapter shows how the Commune reconfigured the entire system of political and legal relations by reactivating intermediate authorities and integrating individual rights with those of groups and associations.

Debates about globalization have centered on calls to improve accountability to limit abuses of power in world politics. How should we think about global accountability in the absence of global democracy? Who should hold whom to account and according to what standards? Thinking clearly about these questions requires recognizing a distinction, evident in theories of accountability at the nation-state level, between “participation” and “delegation” models of accountability. The distinction helps to explain why accountability is so problematic at the global level and to clarify alternative possibilities for pragmatic improvements in accountability mechanisms globally. We identify seven types of accountability mechanisms and consider their applicability to states, NGOs, multilateral organizations, multinational corporations, and transgovernmental networks. By disaggregating the problem in this way, we hope to identify opportunities for improving protections against abuses of power at the global level.

In recent years policymakers in a number of American states have chosen biotechnology as a key element in their economic development efforts. With visions of business growth and new jobs, state officials have targeted biotechnology as an important industry of the future. In this paper we focus on the political dynamics that underlay the choice of biotechnology in eleven states. With those states providing examples, we identify three major models of policy choice. The first involves an interest-based process in which state policymakers respond to explicit or implicit pressures from different parties. The second involves a strategic planning exercise in which state officials analyze the economic structure of the state and seek to develop a comparative advantage in the field of biotechnology. And the third starts with a strategic analysis but then relies upon a competitive, interest-based process to determine the allocation of state funds. We conclude by briefly discussing major issues for science policymaking at the state level.
