This is where a community first develops collective rules that are intended to ensure its continued existence. The contributors look at such configurations in geographical areas and time periods that lie outside of the modern Western world with its particular development of society and statehood: in Antiquity and in the Global South of the present. Here states tend to be weak, with obvious challenges and opportunities for local communities. How does governance in this context work? Scholars from various disciplines (Classics, Theology, Political Science, Sociology, Social Anthropology, Human Geography, Sinology) analyze different kinds of local arrangements in case studies, and they do so with a comparative approach. The sixteen papers examine the scope and spatial contingency of forms of self-governance; its legitimization and the collective identity of the groups behind them; the relations to different levels of state governance as well as to other local groups. Overall, this volume makes an interdisciplinary contribution to a better understanding of fundamental elements of local governance and statehood. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Ancient & Classical$2bisacsh 610 $acivil society. 610 $acollective identity. 610 $aglobal history. 610 $alimited statehood. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Ancient & Classical. 676 $a320.15 702 $aBarber$b Cary M.$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aCassini$b Francesco$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aDürrnagel$b Axel Prestes$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aErben$b Adrian S.$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aHansine$b Rogers$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aHauser$b Anna S.$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aHenten$b Jan Willem van$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aHock$b Jana$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aKnopf$b Fabian$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aKrüger$b Dominique$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aKrüger$b Dominique$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMeir$b Rotem Avneri$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMohamad-Klotzbach$b Christoph$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMohamad-Klotzbach$b Christoph$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMoraes Bennech$b Anna Paula de$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPfeilschifter$b Rene$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPfeilschifter$b Rene$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRaimundo$b Inês Macamo$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSchmidt$b Joa?o Pedro$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSchuppert$b Gunnar Folke$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aStenger$b Jan R.$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSyrbe$b Daniel$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aThomschke$b Susan$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aTiegna$b Janneke$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aTietze$b Valeria$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aZago$b Matheus Jones$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aZante$b Nestor$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 712 02$aDeutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910648575903321 996 $aLocal Self-Governance in Antiquity and in the Global South$93011025 997 $aUNINA
