“…The latter would need to be a transnational, but also a place-based politics. As Dirlik and Prazniak's (2001) grounded but also porous notion of place suggests, there is no contradiction between the two. This is a politics that can confront colonialism and ongoing imperialism, as well as inequalities and environmental catastrophes at local, national and global levels.…”

“…Place-based politics may bring people together not only around various shared concerns -ecological, social, economic and political -but also on the basis of "recognition of a common destiny at the local level" (Dirlik & Prazniak, 2001, p. 10) and a desire to resolve issues democratically. Dirlik and Prazniak (2001) explain that the reason they prioritize placed-based politics is "not to close out options for action at the level of national or global spaces, but merely to reassert the priority of place-based practices for any democratic resolution of the problems of livelihood and social coexistence" (p. 11).…”

This paper interrogates the challenges and potentials for solidarity between refugees and Indigenous peoples by bringing decolonial, anti-colonial and anti-imperialist critiques in different parts of the world, including in white settler colonies and in the Third World, into conversation with each other and with Refugee Studies. The first section of the paper offers two analytical steps towards decolonizing mainstream Refugee Studies. The first step involves identifying, analyzing and problematizing what we may call “an elephant in the room,” a parallax gap between Refugee Studies and studies of International Politics. The second analytical step is problematizing and challenging the popular discourses of charity and gratitude that dominate refugee discourses and narratives in the Global North. The second section of the paper engages in a more direct and detailed discussion about challenges to and possibilities for solidarity between refugees and Indigenous peoples. Articulating historical and contemporary parallels between refugee displacement from land and Indigenous dispossession of land, this section demonstrates that there are nevertheless no guarantees for political solidarity. It argues that potentials for solidarity are contingent on a politics of place, as articulated by Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars; and also possibly on a reconceptualization and reorientation of refugee identity different from the ways it has been constituted in colonial discourses.

“…Whereas Isin attacks the exclusions of any form of nationalism, Coulthard, relying on work by Dirlik and Prazniak (2001), advocates for an essentialism that is in turns strategic (Spivak, 1985;p. 184) and also ontological (see esp.…”

This essay contrasts the trajectory of Engin Isin's work since Being Political (2002) with a very different intellectual path pursued among scholars of a younger generation. Isin moves away from his initial critiques of citizenship and 10 years later proposes “citizenship without frontiers,” a way of understanding emancipatory interventions of active citizens in opposition to state violence. During this same time frame, other political theorists began to reject “citizenship” entirely. Whereas, Isin's oeuvre since Being Political incorporates the principles of creativity and resistance of “being political” into a more expansive concept of “citizenship,” other theorists began denouncing citizenship as of a piece with colonialism, capitalism, and neoliberalism. Such reactions expressly rejected efforts to recuperate citizenship for causes that oppose domination and oppression. This essay analyzes arguments antagonistic to citizenship claims through the lens of Isin's work, focusing in particular on competing views on nativism, Indigeneity, and nationality. The Conclusion considers recent examples of activist citizens and citizens without frontiers pursuing political solidarities along the lines Isin proposes.1

“…The latter hardly exceed, even by the most optimistic estimates, two centuries and have a limited range of distribution within the "industrialised world". Therefore, it is obvious that the elements and structures of agrarian society continue to influence directly and indirectly the everyday life and activities of individuals and collective communities, especially since agrarian economic activities retain their most important economic and socio-cultural functions even in the most highly developed countries [1,2].…”

Agrarian society in transition: The adaptive potential of law

Agrarian society is considered in terms of the functional role of law in ensuring the adaptation of individuals and social strata (estates) to the transformations that occur in its transition to an industrial (modern) state. The universal functionalism of law is described as the most important integrating factor of agrarian society in the transition era. The special importance of civil law in realization of adaptation function of law is revealed. The dualism of positive and customary law, the reasons of its formation in agrarian society and its stabilizing influence on social and class structure and its stability are analyzed. The peculiarities of civil-legal dualism in Russian agrarian society are determined. The ways of possible transformation of legal dualism in the course of system transformation of Russian society in the second part of XIX - beginning of XX centuries are analysed in details. It proves that the insoluble dual structure of Russian civil law at legislative and law-enforcement levels has created significant limitations in the implementation of the adaptive function of law in the Russian transitional era.
