The Constitutional State in crisis: the rule of law in dispute
Kurzbeschreibung Forschungsthema
The constitutional state has experienced more than one crisis in the 20th Century and the political and social events of the last decade indicate it’s facing another one. In effect, one of its central pillars, the idea of the rule of law, has recently been challenged from different positions. Populist movements, for instance, dispute its value because it is seen as dismissive of the will of the people. Positions that claim to rely on more realistic assumptions than normative theories, show that the permanent state of emergency has become one of the essential practices of contemporary states, including the so-called democratic ones, and thus, the rule of law is no more than ideology. From republican approaches, it’s pointed out that the standard notion of rule of law is consistent with new forms of arbitrariness, for instance, with respect to non-citizens persons, and therefore, a more robust concept of the rule of law is claimed.
Taking this debate into account, the main aim of my research project is to explore, within the framework of the discourse theory of democracy and law, a notion of rule of law that embraces the notion of human rights within its scope, including those rights that protects private as well as public autonomy. Thus, the reduction of non-arbitrary state-power as the main goal of the rule of law ideal will be coinceived as closely connected to the respect of both civil and political rights. The first part of my project will engage with the discussion about the independence of the rule of law from human rights protection, while the second part will show why the inclusion of the public dimension of autonomy within the scope of the rule of law is essential to illuminate the concept of arbitrary power, and with it, the concept of rule of law.

Forschungsschwerpunkte
My research focuses on a specific justification narrative of normative orders: the narrative of the rule of law. It aims at providing a robust concept of the rule of law, from an interdisciplinary perspective that intersects legal studies and political theory.
Biografische Angaben
I finished my doctorate in Political Law at the University of Buenos Aires in 2016. In my dissertation, mostly focused on 'Between Facts and Norms, I argued that Habermas' theory of law and democracy has an anarchistic core.
After that, I made short research stays at the Goethe University of Frankfurt, once invited by Justitia Amplificata and twice granted by the DAAD.

Forschungsthema
Pluralitätskulturen im modernen Südasien
Kurzbeschreibung Forschungsthema
Der südasiatische Raum ist eine der ärmsten, religiösesten und konfliktträchtigsten Regionen der Welt. Mit islamischen, buddhistischen und mehrheitlich vom Hinduismus geprägten Staaten ist Südasien wie keine andere Region geeignet, einen religionsübergreifenden Erkenntnisgewinn im Hinblick auf Pluralitätsstrategien unterschiedlicher religiöser Akteure zu generieren. Nach den Teilungswirren 1947 haben sich im islamischen Sezessionsstaat Pakistan und der ungleich größeren demokratischen Referenzgesellschaft Indien unterschiedliche politische und verfassungsrechtliche Zugänge und Rahmenbedingungen zu den Themenkomplexen Ethnifikation, Religionsdiversität und Vielfaltsfreude herausgebildet, die auch unter den Bedingungen eher demokratisch bzw. autoritär geprägter Regierungsstile zu unterschiedlichen Entwicklungen führten. Indien wird in länderübergreifenden religionssoziologischen Studien mit der höchsten gemessenen Gebetshäufigkeit nicht nur als ein Land der Hochreligiösen erfasst, sondern auch als das Land mit der höchsten Ausprägung an religiösem Pluralismus.
Im Kunststaat Pakistan wurde der indische Islam nationalisiert. Die nationalstaatliche Implementierung von Islam war ein Symbol für das politische Projekt der Einigung auch der sprachlich und kulturell sehr unterschiedlichen 2500 km auseinanderliegenden beiden Landesteile im Osten und Westen. Bereits 1953 – mit dem Munir-Report als Folge auf die Massenausschreitungen gegen Ahmadis – widmete sich der pakistanische Staat dem Projekt, zu definieren, wer ein Muslim sei und wer nicht. Nach dem traumatischen Verlust Ostpakistans im Unabhängigkeitskrieg 1971 wuchs im Rest- und Rumpfstaat Westpakistan der politische Bedarf und das psychologische Bedürfnis nach einem starken Islam dramatisch an. 1974 wurden zahlreiche Gesetze gegen die muslimische Ahmadi-Minderheit verabschiedet, die tiefgreifende Diskriminierung legalisierten. Dies bestärkte eine sektiererische Fragmentierung der pakistanischen Gesellschaft.
Das Forschungsvorhaben soll die unterschiedlichen Entwicklungsdynamiken diverser religiöser communities nach 1947 länderübergreifend vergleichend deskriptiv darstellen und damit systematisch praktische Auswirkungen nationalstaatlicher Religionspolitik analytisch erfassen. Im Fokus steht der Umgang mit religiöser und sexueller Diversität.
Das Forschungsprojekt kooperiert mit dem Exzellenzcluster „Religion und Politik“ an der WWU Münster.

Normative orders in crisis: Cultural codes in Brexit and the 2016 US presidential election
Kurzbeschreibung Forschungsthema
Recently, western democracies have been wracked by unanticipated swells of populism, ethno-nationalism, and isolationism, all of which are greatly unsettling the neoliberal, globalist, and multicultural trajectories many assumed were durable and determined. The shock produced by events like Brexit, Trump’s victory, le Pen’s showing in the French vote, and far right gains in Germany, indicate that taken for granted cultural assumptions are not only being called into question but upended. Foundational cultural elements that control, anchor, and organize social orders are in crisis, and are being challenged in severe ways. In this research project, I am examining the scope and intensity of these conditions of cultural crisis.

Democratic Hope
Kurzbeschreibung Forschungsthema
In times of a prevailing sense of crisis and disorder in modern politics, there is a growing sentiment that anger and despair or at least resignation and apathy are more appropriate attitudes to navigate the world than hope. Political theorists have long shared this suspicion and shied away from theorising hope systematically: they see it as expressing a doe-eyed approach to the world that condones complacency or at least detracts from what is to be done ‘here and now’.
The aim of my project is to resist this tendency by vindicating hope as a vital component of democratic life. In making this argument, I will draw on Immanuel Kant’s account of hope. For Kant, hope is a foundational kind of state that plays an important role in our practical engagement with the world in general. In particular, hope allows us to retain our resolve to act when the odds of making a difference are dim. Hence, it is not something we take refuge with once there is nothing else left to do but it is intricately intertwined with contexts of action.
I will set out to show that hope, conceived along these lines, is particularly indispensable for democratic agents. For they often find themselves torn precisely between the democratic promise that they can make a difference on the one hand, and the seeming futility of their efforts amidst institutions and processes that are often experienced as slow and unresponsive, on the other. Active engagement in democratic practices thus requires agents to find ways of fending off despair, frustration and demoralisation in the face of their own ostensible inefficacy. This motivates my attempt to develop a systematic account of democratic hope that is sensitive to its unavoidability as much as its dangers.

Criticism and Calamity: From Critical Disaster Studies to a Critique of Disaster
Kurzbeschreibung Forschungsthema
The project examines the modifications to American disaster management in the second half of the 20th century, diagnosing a seminal shift in the responsibility for relief. Since the inception of disaster studies in academia after WWII, two kinds of actors have been identified in disasters. On the one hand, disasters involve formal actors, such as professional aid workers employed by state-run relief agencies; on the other hand, disasters involve informal actors, including disaster victims, volunteers, and social movements. While in the immediate post-war years the role of the expert in disaster mitigation was valorised, since the 1970s there has been a change in emphasis toward a more horizontal type of disaster relief that champions grassroots initiatives and the bottom-up organising of social movements as the preferred methods to combat disaster. Once construed as strictly a responsibility of the state, the mitigation and management of disasters has shifted into a matter for civil society: a shift which has been heralded as progressive, democratic and inclusive by existing disaster research.
My project argues that the perspective that valorises the participation of actors from civil society in the fight against disasters fails to grasp the systematic reconfiguration of social life that has taken place in the last decades of the 20th century. Focussing on the modifications to disaster management in the United States between 1970 and 2016, I show how the inclusion of civil society in the provision of aid services was accompanied by a structural withdrawal of the state from disaster relief and other welfare services, corresponding to the US government’s general turn to austerity in response to the economic crisis of the 1970s. While on the state level, specialist authority on disasters is relinquished and the vernacular skills and capacities of the people are drawn on during emergencies, on the level of civil society, this inclusion is complicated by rising social exclusion, indexed by the US state’s turn to austerity, following American deindustrialisation.
My account contributes to the research goals of the Excellence Cluster in two distinct ways that respond to the cluster’s thematic focus on “criticism and crisis”: Firstly, by coupling disaster research with an account of economic crisis, and secondly, by asking what forms of critical social action might be adequate to the current disaster context.
