    • At least in the context of the writings in and around The Theory of Communicative Action (Cambridge: Polity Press, 1997). Meanwhile, of course, his work has taken what some commentators have referred to as a 'liberal turn', though this is perhaps understood better as a more comprehensive turn away from 'crisis theoretic' premises in his social theory towards a more focused interest in tensions between legality, legitimisation and legitimacy in 'post-national' liberal societies.

    • See on this the extensive discussion of Parsons' theoretical development in Habermas, Theory of Communication Action, pp. 199-299. Habermas shows that Parsons' account of systems-integration remains open to concerns of the lifeworld-perspective, but assimilates the latter according to the former by projecting the logic of the process of systems-differentiation onto the differentiation of the lifeworld (p. 287).

    • Luhmann, Die Gesellschaft (vol. II); on pp. 806-12, Luhmann considers globalisation and regionalisation from the perspective of the functionally differentiated world society; on his reading, unequal and non-synchronous conditioning of systems-operation reflects tendencies towards either inhibiting or advancing functional differentiation, accounting for the persistence of, and tensions around 'geographical' and territorially conceived variations. However, according to Luhmann, these occur already within and against the background of functionally differentiated world society.

    • Such a diagnosis links up with the critique of Giddens' structuration theory by Justin Rosenberg, The Follies of Globalisation Theory (London: Verso, 2000), pp. 185-7. Drawing on Alan Sica, Rosenberg traces the concealed commitment to Parsonian functionalism in Giddens' thought. Insofar as Giddens has been a source of constant inspiration to Wendt's constructivist project, the latter's interest in systems theory seems cogent. From a different angle, Mingers ('Can Social Systems be Autopoetic?') confirms the cogency of structurationist and autopoetic systems-functionalist research concerns. Wendt's idiosyncrasy lies in conceptualising steering media as media at the disposal of actors (in his case states), utilisable for conscious deployment in directing complex social integration towards desired goals. Of course, this is anathema to Luhmann's conception of the steering functions of intersystemically available media.
