- 2. Mediated unity in question: on the relation between law, politics, and other social systems in modern societies
- 3. Functional differentiation and mediated unity in question: looming constitutional conflicts between the de-centralist logic of functional differentiation and the bio-political steering of austerity and global governance
- 4. Dilemmas of contemporary statehood: on the sociological paradoxes of weak dialectical formalism and embedded neoliberalism
- 5. Re-thinking inclusion beyond unity and mediation beyond discretionary steering: on social systems and societal constitutions
