The Challenge of Stability
Niklas Luhmann’s Early Political Sociology and Constitutional Adjudication in the United States and Germany
Zusammenfassung
Von Niklas Luhmanns frühem systemtheoretischem Begriff der funktionalen Differenzierung lässt sich sowohl normativ als auch empirisch viel über Verfassungsgerichte lernen. So kann Luhmanns Analyse der rechtlichen Autonomie helfen, das legitimatorische Grundproblem der Verfassungsgerichtsbarkeit – die Kontrolle von Parlamentsgesetzen – neu zu beleuchten. Und seine Theorie der Zweiteilung des politischen Systems kann unser begriffliches Verständnis verfassungsgerichtlicher Politisierung schärfen. Das vorliegende Buch veranschaulicht dieses Potential, indem es Legitimation durch Verfahren im Besonderen und Luhmanns frühe Systemtheorie im Allgemeinen auf das Bundesverfassungsgericht und den Supreme Court anwendet.
Abstract
Niklas Luhmann's early systems-theoretical conception of functional differentiation holds both normative and empirical insights for our understanding of constitutional adjudication. For example, Luhmann's conception of legal autonomy may help to shed new light on the countermajoritarian difficulty. Secondly, his theory of how the political system is differentiated into two sub-systems can improve our conceptual understanding of judicial politicization. To illustrate this potential, this book applies “Legitimation durch Verfahren” in particular and Luhmann's early systems theory in general to Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court and the United States Supreme Court.
