Sommario/riassunto

Why do empires build walls and fences? Are they for defensive purposes only, to keep the ‘barbarians’ at the gate; or do they also function as complex offensive military structures to subjugate and control the colonized? Are the colonized subjects also capable of erecting barriers to shield themselves from colonial onslaughts? In Empires and Walls Mohammad A. Chaichian meticulously examines the rise and fall of the walls that are no longer around; as well as impending fate of ‘neo-liberal’ barriers that imperial and colonial powers have erected in the new Millennium. Based on four years of extensive historical and field-based research Chaichian provides compelling evidence that regardless of their rationale and functions, walls always signal the fading power of an empire.

Sommario/riassunto

Die Sozialwissenschaft stützt sich unweigerlich auf konzeptionelle Ausgangsannahmen. Sie ist gefordert, die soziale Welt auf den Begriff zu bringen. Diesbezüglich kursieren allerdings vielfältige Versionen, teils existieren unvereinbare Positionen und gegensätzliche Auffassungen. Michael Beetz fordert von den Gesellschaftswissenschaften tragfähige Grundbegriffe zu konstruieren. Er skizziert die Kernproblematik der Gesellschaftstheorie anhand einer differenzierten Zusammenschau von soziologischen Grundfragen wie:  Welches sind die elementaren Einheiten sozialer Praxis? Wie ist der übergreifende Zusammenhang sozialer Phänomene zu fassen? Was zählt zu den strukturellen Komponenten einer Gesellschaft? In dieser Arbeit gibt der Autor Anstöße zur weiteren analytischen Präzisierung



und zur systematischen Gruppierung im Sinne einer allgemeinen Theoriebildung.
